Thunderbirds Are Go!
Permalink   

This is the 1st model that I am doing from Thunderbirds. It is Thunderbird 5, manned by John Tracy, in orbit around Earth. It is here that the rescues start. As you can see, it is small. Don't know the scale, but the others 1-4, are all out of scale with each other.

This is all that I have done so far. I am going to make decals for T5, and John's uniform. The base turns to view from all angles. The model is from IMAI, and anyone building models from them, know they are toys. Will post more pictures later.

Looking forward to seeing these.  However would "more pictures" imply at least one picture?

Tag you're it.  Was in a rush of editing and getting ready to go out so never got the change to look real close until now.  And close is what you need to do huh?  Many that IS small.  Looks good to me, hopefully though at least TB2 is larger.

I have been painting on the figure of John Tracy. Still working on the decals. Here is a small picture of John. Still more to do.

Here is John Tracy finished. (except for the strings)

The decals on the hat and sash, I think helps make him look more like the show.
Still working on Thunderbird 5. Little more painting, and decals.

This is it. I finished Thunderbird 5, and John Tracy. The station is close to what is shown on the show, but not right. Since this was to be more of a toy, it is not a bad model.On the small side. I plan to come back and do Thunderbirds 1-4 later.
