Hi everyone.
Thunderbirds well I guess everybody has heard of them and more than likley seen a few episodes at some time or other so it was about time I tried to make a Thunderbird machine, and here it is the image story of my thunderbird on build.
she is all made from flat sheet and a little bit ( well maybe quite a lot of filer ) she took more just over 3 weeks to complete and stands ove 30 inches tall. I managed to find a good drawing on the internet and thanks are due to Mr Philip D rea for having the time and patience to draw the blueprints and make them available for all to see. I began with the lower x section of the engines making sure that I fitted the engine holes into the unit top and bottom, then set about the main lower section of the main fuselage
this was time consuming having the taper on it but it was a section that holds everything together.
the images tell the story I will dribble on more in my next post part two.
regards Barrie ( the old guy )
