Thunderbirds style truck

[KevinD]

I recently picked up this plastic toy military vehicle and thought I'd convert it into the type of vehicle you would see in the background in Thunderbirds and other Gerry Anderson shows. I used a couple of model railway tankers to help.

Very nice, very evocative of the era.

Despite being set in 2068 or thereabouts, Thunderbirds wasn't short of "vintage" cars still being seen on the road. Perhaps in 2050 there was a retro boom and reproduction cars were all the rage

Excellent work. I like the setting/diorama it is in as well. Looks like it could be from one of the TV show sets itself

 

[KevinD]

Thank you. That is the look I'm always striving for!

Nice day, so I photographed it in the garden, trying to make it look like it was in imminent need of rescue.

Is that a Matchbox truck? If so great work at such a small scale!

 

[KevinD]

Thanks. No, it's a plastic one. Bigger than Marchbox, probably about 4inches long.

Great miniature converting and diorama.
Also, I feel very nostalgic on this miniature vehicle.
That was a Match Box miniature vehicle of made in England.
Made of zinc die casting model and was only 2 inches long.
I bought it almost more than 50 years ago and of course, I played Thunderbird with it.
