Inside the issue before the current one, I had the pleasure of speaking to Simon Phipps, creator of one of my all time favourite 8-bit action titles; Switchblade.

Just before the issue went on sale though, Simon mailed me to say that chatting about the game had inspired him to work on an idea that had been swilling around in his head for some time. Well obv I jumped to thinking that he was about to start work on a Switchblade sequel for iPhone, and got very excited.

Sadly, though, that wasn’t his news. However, my disappointment softened when I opened up his attachment and saw this awesome papercraft model of Hiro looking back at me.

We think they make excellent Christmas decorations, and as it’s very nearly Christmas we thought a well-timed blog post was in order. 

Simon has made more models - including Rick Dangerous - and all are all available to download from his website.
