JUMPING ON THE THUNDERBIRD 5 BANDWAGON

There does seem to be some small excitement about  the D C Thompson Thunderbird 5 toy that comes with the fifth issue of the comic.

I suppose it's because this is only one of two  models of this intriguing looking craft, released so far, and as Bill says in his previous post about the toy it does have a nice Spacex look about it.  I've seen quite a few photos of it on social media, not to mention  our Bill's own impressive photos of his on last weeks post.

So, rather than be left out, I thought I'd pick one up, put it together, add a few minor improvements and take a photo.

    1. Thanks Woodsy. While it's a bit rough round the edges I didn't want it to look like I'd just simply cut and pasted one image unto another which is fairly easy to do, so knowing what background I wanted I just worked on the lighting effect on the model in an attempt to make it look a lttle more natural.

    1. Cheers Kev. I would rather use a real diorama background in most cases but this model is too small for that and it just didn't look right to me so that's why I opted for the easier option of photoshop.
