Hi all.

I've just joined up to the RPF in the hope I can get my first project underway. I have a total love fascination with Gerry Andersons Thundebirds. It was my favourite program growing up as a kid and I love it to this day.

I've seen a few kits on auction sites etc and I would really like to give building my own full size puppet a go. Has anyone else had any experience with these ? If anyone has any information that would be stunning.

Cant wait to get started.

Thank you all

T

hey all,

Thanks for all the info I'm currently having a look through that massive forum post to get any info I can. I'm looking out for a kit I can use to start from as I don't think I'll have the skills to sculpt from scratch.

I'll keep you updated. If anyone knows of any resin kits please do let me know.
Thanks again
