I saw one of those at the Model Engineer Exhibition a few years ago, looked very nice. They also had Seaview from voyage to the bottom of the sea, Nautilus from 20000 leagues, a GIGANTIC Seaquest DSV (unfinished at the time) from the show of the same name ....., and various WW2 and nuclear subs - Stingray appealed to me most though, no doubt due to seeing the show at an impressionable age. Someone needs to build the Titan Terrorfish...

....of course TB2 is overhaul the best designed vehicle....
I'd have to agree but can anyone make it fly???

there was a bloke in manchester selling fibreglass mouldings of Stingray on ebay recently, they were 38 inches long and had a resin detail pack with them, designed to be built up as a large scale static model, but at 36 inches were ripe for RC conversion, bidding got up to about £360 for the mouldings, out of my league at that time !

This is a very old thread but nice to see a post in it I don't know if I mentioned it or not but there is a fan club for Gerry Anderson fans called Fanderson .Text in fanderson on your search engine and it'll come up .Recent fanderson conventions are now on site. Lots of goodies on ebay.

Practise on pieces of plastic to get the way your modelling knife behaves and how to overcut leaving enough to sand down on a flat sanding board. I've not fully sussed it yet but it is a good modelling product flexible strong can be shaped using the oven and hoover and takes a good paint finish too.

no I've just stuck it out in the garden shed for the moment as I will not be collecting anymore G.A. stuff doing boats now might sell it on ebay but not at the moment prices are poor

signed books ,envelopes, 6 doll type figures 8 inch tall, 2 pupets Virgill,Hood b/w photos itc entertainment a few tb1,2,3,4,5, and the playsets cloadbase puppet of Lady Pen from the 60s 2 full issues if SIG Magazines various other carded figures including hard to get Phones 1980s blue prints of XL5, strigray, ufo tracked vehicle, 7 signatures dedicated on this not a great collection really But I've meet G.A. and a lot of the stars involved in his t.v show especially Ed Bishop. (Great person) will treasure his signature missed Shane Rimmer's signature dam..dam..

Vac experience just go for it and ask questions when stuck on this forum lots of experienced modellers here and pics of it as it comes from the box.

Remember.... "Anything can happen in the next half hour."
