Papa695s Bandai Thunderbird 4

[papa 695]

Got a little more work done.

[papa 695]

Well I’ve finally had some time for modelling. Got a lot of the cockpit ( for a better word) done. The seat is not fitted, I’m going to try and make a figure for it.

[Tim Marlow]

Lovin’ it!

[monica]

[PaulinKendal]

That's beautiful! The skipper's seat is better than the Super-Marionation original!

[papa 695]

Thanks guys, I’m glad you’re enjoying this just as much as I‘am.

I’ve got Gordon Tracy completed, I used a 1/72 scale pilot figure and placed a 1/48 scale head on top. To give it that puppet look.( I hope ) and used modelling clay for the hat.

[Mark1]

Love that, just missing a few strings.

[scottie3158]

Love it both the cockpit and pilot look great.

[Tim Marlow]

Looks fantastic. Mind you, with the first shot of Gordon I thought the hat was his hair LOL…

[papa 695]

I re-painted his face, and added some more detail in the cockpit, also got it put together.

Thanks Christopher, like you Thunderbird 4 was just another vehicle from the pods.
