Outer Space Station
Instructions for a DIY playset, courtesy the Woman's Day Book of Best Loved Toys and Dolls, 1982.
Note that the translucent Micronauts fit in nicely, style wise, whereas the Star Wars figures look a little out of place. This is Logan's Run / Buck Rogers territory. Disco, not rock.
Cool, but not as cool as Dalek City:

Festival Of Britain Guide Book 1951
Official guide book for the 1951 Festival of Britain that was on the South Bank in London. Old enough to remember the Fun Fair in Battersea Park with Rowland Emmett's "Far Tottering & Oyster Creek Railway" and the 3D film theatre. I was only 4 at the time so memory is slightly hazy!
