Captain Scarlet SPV scratchbuild

Here are some photos of my Captain Scarlet SPV that I scratchbuilt roughly 30 years ago! It is about 15 inches long and made from balsa covered in aluminium sheet.

Roughly 30 years ago I had no idea what supermarionation was but I loved Captain Scarlet. Stunning work!

Sweet.
Looks like it came straight from the show.

Impressive scratch build.

As mentioned, it looks like it could be straight out of the show

Thanks people. I'm quite pleased with it but I wish I felt I'd made 30 years of progress since making it!

Very cool! This is a favourite design for me and you’ve captured it beautifully.

With 30 years under your belt, what would you do with it now, I wonder?
Your skills must be crazy fantastic now (and I seem to remember various great builds by you in recent years!)

That's very kind of you. I suppose if I were doing it again, studio scale, radio control and working lights would be what I'd do.
