Thunderbirds are go, er well, sort of....

[Cybergrinder]

I (re)started my Thunderbirds project (previous attempt got destroyed)

Here is TB1 - Hiro's design and quite a nice straight forward build. (did it in a day )

All the models (as far as I know anyway) are from the original "supermarionation" TV series, not the crappy 2004 movie or more recent "Thunderbirds are Go!" reboot.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

That looks really good!

 

[zathros]

Nice!! I'd still be wantin' to play with that!!

 

[Sky Seeker]

You are a "go" for launch!

@zathros, as does my son...
@Sky Seeker , got a nice hangar background, just got to print for some nice photos

 

[Cybergrinder]

So some more pics of TB1



And it turns out there may be a bit of a TB3 build thread after all Engine section done

 

[Cybergrinder]

So TB 3 progressed along quite well,

Here's the mid section; supports for the "ring" quite fiddly!



And complete!






Up next, TB5, last of the easy ones

 

[zathros]

Wow, TB3 can out superb!! Under used in the show. Great job!!

[zathros]

Very nice. I sent you a P.M.

 

[Cybergrinder]

So TB5 is on the go, here's the stand (fiddly bits poke out the top & bottom of the model, so I did the stand first )



Here's the top of the main body, yet to be greebled

 

[Cybergrinder]

Well TB5 has progressed nicely...

Main hull (mostly) complete



Something tells me that TB3 & TB5 are not the same scale....



TB3 is supposed to dock up to the ring



"docking" hull complete



And joined together



Then the "ring"

 

[Cybergrinder]

And finally complete, all sensors, etc. attached

 

[Cybergrinder]

And then some "scenic" photos



Now, who can tell what's odd with this pic?

 

[Ponytail2]

:Bravo:

 

[Revell-Fan]

Now, who can tell what's odd with this pic?

It looks like TB5 is a bit too small?

 

[Cybergrinder]

Er, no.

guess again

Let me even things out a bit

 

[Revell-Fan]

TB2 & 4 are missing!

 

[Ponytail2]

Tracy-Island wasn't green and square...:Grin:

 

[zathros]

Really nice Cybergrinder!!!!
