You'd only have spent it Doug!

I am to young for catching it first time round but used to lover the re runs of thunderbirds, stingray, Captain scarlet and UFO also loved terrahawks.


My favorite 5 are


Battlehawk


Thunderbird 2


Stingray


the Eagle


Angel Interceptor


I also used to enjoy the tops the ladies used to wear in the submarine thing in UFO


Konami did miniature of all the thunderbirds and the pod vehicles with little Dioramas I have some toy stash will dig the out and take some pictures.


Also does anyone remember Star fleet?

Some have mentioned terrahawks, I liked nothing about this show sadly as it looked like they went backwards with the puppets and the vehicles but each to their own


Was star fleet the Japanese puppet show ? If it's the one I'm thinking of that was very good although not as good as Gerry Anderson

Yeah star fleet was the Japanese one used to be on on Saturdays before the wrestling on ITV


Had a set of 3 ships that joined together to make a big red robot. All the bad guys had some king of insect theme.

So how many of you are old enough to remember the first one, Torchy the Battery Boy? What about Four Feather Falls? Come on guys dig deep!!


The Andersons have always been heros to me, simply modelling and creative genius. From what I remember Terrahawks was a return to pure puppetry again after frustrations with the challenges of working with actors in the more recent series such as captain Scarlet and Space 1999. Unfortunately it never returned to the purity of the concept of Thunderbirds, Stingray, Fireball XL5 etc. For me the pinacle was Thunderbirds.

Terrorhawks scared the shizzle out of me when I was wee. Gah

You will never guess what I found rooting through eBay the other night?


I didn't even know such a thing existed! I bought it immediately and boy was I pleased with myself. I also watched the whole "Thunderbirds are Go" movie last night and really enjoyed it. It was all years ahead of its time.

Thats nicely done from balsa, Pete. I can remember my first non kit tank being made from Gillette blade containers, paper and rattan.

Cheers,
