Here are some pictures of my scratchbuilt Thunderbirds replicas. Each is made from plasticard and milliput mainly.

Even Gerry Anderson would be hard pushed to tell these apart from the originals!!

wow those are really nice , what did you use for those " grills" sections in TB2? also , how big are those models?

 

[KevinD]

Thank you. The grilles in TB2 were made by using a strip of aluminium to make the shape of the opening then using plasticard strips for the slats and putting milliput around the aluminium to give the outer profile.
TB2 is about 20inches long, as is TB3. 1 and 4 are slightly smaller.

Are your TB2 legs just removable or retractable?

 

[KevinD]

Just removable.

Amazing work as always. I love seeing these, especially the way you staged the photos

Thanks. I enjoy doing the photos more than making the models!
