Original Puppets At Cosford Movie

I've put together a short movie for you all showing the original Supermarionation puppets on display at Cosford.

I'm still on a learning curve with focusing and setting things up etc., plus the quality is again a little lower than I'd like. On top of that the place was packed so you had to grab opportunities when you could, but what the heck, I hope you like it.

 
I was amazed to see  two  Supercar characters, Jimmy Gibson and  Zarin, both looking in the pink . I'd imagined they'd had a lot of restoration. Actually checking my other photos it would appear that these are, in fact, replicas. But who cares, they looked great.

I was also very pleased to see my favourite Anderson character, Steve Zodiac. Since leaving the World Space Patrol, Steve has spent his time as a bowling trophy!

Captain Scarlet and some of his pals were represented, although no Captain Blue.

But I'm not complaining. The organisers and contributors had really pulled the stops out, so, again well done to them.
