DEAGOSTINI THUNDERBIRD 2 MODEL SPACE BUILD: THE STORY SO FAR


Well, I’m well over three-quarters of the way through my DeAgostini Model Space Thunderbird 2 build now and I have to say it’s been a lot of fun so far.

I’m also enjoying being part of a small, but enthusiastic bunch of fellow builders on social media, who show photos and videos of their individual builds, and share any news from Model Space itself.

Some are also lucky enough to own Takara Thunderbird 2 models  and vehicles which the build takes its inspiration from, and occasionally take photos to compare the two.

I’ve already posted a few photos of some of the vehicles already but here’s a rundown of what’s arrived so far.


The Mole:


Three of the four Master Elevator Cars:


The Monobrake:


Fab 1:


The Transmitter Truck:


The Excavator:


The Thunderizer & The Laser Cutter:


The Firefly:


The two Recovery Vehicles:


Thunderbird 4:


Plus, here’s a short video showing the legs being tested. It’s noisy but it works…

    1. Hi Andy, yeah I know what you mean, these's quite few in the collection so far. To be honest I am trying to cut down on collecting, but it is proving difficult.;)

    1. Thanks Woodsy. Yeah,I am enjoying them, perfect models for photography. I'm hoping Model Space add a few extra issues at the end like they did in Japan just to keep things going a little longer
