    John. Thanks for the feedback on Jaqueline Pearce. (Servalan from Blake's 7). From what little I can remember of Blake's 7, Blake himself was only in the series for a short time and Paul Darrow appeared to take on the leading role for the rest of the series.
    The Liberator unfortunately was never kitted as a mainstream kit. I don't know if anyone made a resin or vac form of it though. Kit manufacturers can be a bit unpredictable. I think that MPC kitted the Cygnus from the Black Hole movie along with the good and bad robots from it. As far as I know the kits were only issued once shortly after the film was made. Maybe never re issued because of Disney copyright issues?

      As far as most fans of the series are concerned, Avon and Servalan were the stars. Blake was a fairly two-dimensional (and two-series only) anti-hero, but Avon and The Big Baddie were, in my opinion, the finest characters ever written into sci-fi, at least in terms of dialogue (we ignore the abysmal 70s karate chops). Just a browse through his quotes is a joy.

      I've used this so often, particularly when talking to a certain President's supporters:

      Vila:
      I'm entitled to my opinion.

      Avon:
      It is your assumption that we are entitled to it as well that is irritating.

      Hinouravle mention for "I have never understood why it should be necessary to become irrational in order to prove that you care, or, indeed, why it should be necessary to prove it at all."

        Anyway, rotary tools. Sticking a tin of enamel to a blender mixes it quickly*.

        *don't do this
