A SMALLSPACE FOR THUNDERBIRDS 1965

A table at Smallspace had a few items from the recent fan-funded Kickstarter Thunderbird 1965 project based on the three original sixties Century 21 records. 


There was a large, impressive looking replica of Thunderbird 2 . 


There was several lobby cards made to look like something that might have existed in 1965.



A couple of newspaper covers seen  briefly in 'The Stately Homes Robberies'.


A small helicopter model as seen in 'The Abominable Snowman'.


A puppet of the Hood.



On a separate table there was replicas of  Thunderbirds' 1 & 4, which, according to the blurb below were apparently used during the filming. However, it's been pointed out to me by no less a person than the man behind the project, Stephen La Riviere,  that both of these models weren't use during the production,  But, in spite of that they're still great looking models. Thanks again for the update, Stephen.

    1. That occurred to me too Kev, the top section is reminiscent of an SPV.

  2. Those models of Thunderbirds 1 and 4 were not used in the episodes.

    1. The models on display we're replicas using the same moulds, and not the actual ones seen in the episodes.
