My friend sent me a pic of Thunderbird 3's new home. For some reason he likes the girder view of the sign. It's amazing what one can do with scrap pieces of paper. Enjoy!:)

Chuffy, That's some awesome and amazing work!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::surprise::surprise::surprise: Thanks for sharing some of the details of your fixes very nicely done!:BRAVO::BRAVO::BRAVO::BRAVO: I do have a question about the "turkey feathers" and what you are referring to. Looking...

Yes it would be fascinating to see after someone warps from the battle and comes into an intersecting area of the battle years later only to get shot down by their own ordinance! Of course right now there's a LOT of debris in space around our own planet from all of the launches from the 50's...

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - Or the beer holder!!:biggrin:

Ok I can buy the armor answer. Now onto the laser question. First off these are pulsed "lasers" with a surprising limited range to be effective. If they did travel with the original energy like a traditional laser all they would have needed to do is get a spotter where the Cyclons and hit...

Sometimes that happens. Usually, I just modify the bad portions of the model depending on how far along it is.:) I don't see anything amiss with your model and it's on my list. Love what you have done.:) Just take your time and enjoy the ride.:) As the builder you will always see the messed up...

RF - thanks for the explanation.:bowdown::bowdown: At long last a mystery uncovered.:) Was wondering about that when I built the Defender years ago. If that one had turrets, why didn't the Galactica, which was the space equivalent of a carrier mixed with a battleship. Always something new to...

Careful about women and their sewing projects! Word to the wise - DON'T GET IN THEIR WAY!! The big mat makes sense now. Remember to duck! As to the Galactica, have you or any else ever seen a model with turrets? The TV show showed them, but I've never seen one on a model.

That's par for the course glad to hear that all went well! :) Looking forward to seeing you finish this project.:)

That's good to know. You guys in Europe certainly have some great models! :)

Wow!:surprise::surprise: That's some workstation!:) Good sized mat as well. You could probably put a full sized Galactica or a Galaxy Class Enterprise on that one!

Off to a great start Chuffy!:wave: Looking forward to the rest.:) Just out of curiosity ... what are the dimensions of the green cutting board? Are the squares in CM? BTW - Mid 50's isn't old - you're just realizing life's possibilities!:biggrin:

You always do awesome work! Always great to see what you do next.:) :CHEERS:

Found a site for Thunderbird Toys / Model inspiration (or perspiration!) https://japan-figure.com/search?q=Takara+Thunderbirds Found another site! https://gerryanderson.com/en-us Enjoy!

Revell, Looking forward to seeing those models!:)

Found this one which has the most of the required sides for design - now to figure out scale. A model kit of the Thunderbird S - Shadow https://imtoys.com.br/produto/thunderbirds-are-go-thunderbird-s-1-72-model-kit/ Just some ideas...

Indeed it does. That's what I thought when I first saw it. Of course I was thinking about this. Don't know how many hours of my life was spent playing this game along with some friends of mine during the early 90's. Here's another pic a little less like what you suggested, but still awesome...

Very clever design!:) Love how he is able to get all the hole punches equilateral with one punch! The camera mount was well done as well. Thanks for sharing Z!

As would I.:) Maybe that process could be started with top down and side views and a scale comparison with known models from the series. Just an idea. Anybody up for the challenge? Perhaps this merits a new thread for the Shadow?

Thanks Chuffy! My friend really enjoyed the gift. For whatever reason a gift of a model means something to people in a way such that it brings out the inner child. Don't know why. Regardless it IS enjoyed. Thanks again for stopping by. :)
