Thunderbirds are Go !!

[cobraman]

Every so often I like to build something different than a car or truck. Found this on ebay and thought it fit the bill. It's the Thunderbird 1 and launch bay in 1/350 scale. Made by Aoshima. I deviated from the color call outs they had listed. Built right from box except I used two rail sections of HO scale track instead of just the printed track they had on the cardboard. I had to nail the foam board and printed cardboard they provided on a piece of wood because the foam board curved upward after gluing the cardboard mat to the foam board. I even placed a heavy law book on it and it still did not dry flat. Anyway, here it is all finished. Comments of any sort are always welcome.

That is very cool, Ray! I have not seen one of those built before, it looks like a real monster!

[cobraman]

Thanks ! It's a silly thing but it was a great change of pace.

Thank you Carl. Every once in a while I just need to build something out of my comfort area.

Late 1960's our world would stop when Thunderbirds came on TV....
