They look tiny.

[Bigkev]

And you think I do small stuff.........

And you think I do small stuff.........

Fair cop!!!
Yes, I never really thought about it.

[zak]

Masking and painting the Firefly.
The windows!

[Bigkev]

Lots of careful painting is going to be required........
Better have a stiff drink.

[zak]

Elevator cars, one master and 3 radio controlled.
Why was everything labelled in Thunderbirds - ok, so the audience knew what the bits were, but were the Thunderbird crew that forgetful?

Ruler there for size.

[chriswil42]

Yikes - they ARE tiny. Good work Dave.

This is going to be an interesting 'mini diorama'.

NO Chris Zak only does MAXI dioramas     

[zak]

Well I am busy applying the decals transfers and that will take some time.
My intention is to have it displayed as though it is about to land on the elevator cars.
I have used clear plastic sprue to raise the Fireflash above the cars

[Bigkev]

Can we have sound effects too............

[chriswil42]

Looking excellent and very different.

[zak]

The Fireflash is being varnished and meanwhile here is the last of the Thunderbirds for a while.
This is a resin kit, unsure of the scale of the Recovery Vehicle, used to pull the Sidewinder out of a large crater.
It is produced by UNCL and again purchased from Timeless Hobbies.
It is drying and awaiting the final touches.

[chriswil42]

Very nice and colourful.

[zak]

So Varnished and just about complete, I am unsure what to do about the interiors of the pilots cabin and the wing lounges.
