XTC and Pendon Museum

[caradoc]

I watched a documentary on Sky Arts last night (Sat 7th Oct), 'XTC: This is Pop', and although XTC are not really my musical cup of tea I enjoyed the programme. Interestingly, Pendon Museum featured throughout, with figures representing the band members being towed behind a passenger train on a lowmac, and standing on a station platform and elsewhere. I recommend this programme from both a musical and modelling point of view.

Obviously it helps if you subscribe to Sky. If not, then I'm not sure what other sources it could be viewed on.

It was a fascinating project to work with, the figures were band members scanned by Alan Buttler of Modelu

One of my most favourite bands ever.

Probably the most underrated English rock band.

Don't have Sky, so I've asked someone to record this for me.

It was back on again in the UK last week, well worth watching for any XTC fans.
