THUNDERJUNK: MY HOME-MADE LOCKDOWN THUNDERBIRDS FLEET DISPLAY

With time on my hands now I'm done modelling this furlough I thought I'd snap my home-made Lockdown vehicles all together.

This first shot is in order of 'manufacture'.

Get, jet, go!


Thunderbirds ARE rubbish!

    That's an impressive flotilla. A lot of them too. Well done, clever use of materials.

    Lovely stuff Woodstock, im loving that Skyship. Im tempted to make something myself, but the idea of rooting round to find the parts seems a lot of work!

    All are good Woodsy, but the Helijet is Masterful.

    That is a really great collection. You have certainly been busy during lock-down. Well done.

      Thanks Paul. It all started way back in March with an incomplete Thunderbird 2 kindly donated to Moonbase.

    It's a fine line-up Woodsy, none-too-shabby! The Blue=Peter fleet!

    Very satisfying to see them all done and ready for action!
    Now you just need another Global Pandemic to give you the excuse to make some more!

      Cheers Paul! As I'm totally useless at DIY it gave me something to do over the last 10 weeks along with a lot of gardening when the sun was shining! Pouring down now!

    These are so darned cool, I can't believe you made them out of junk body parts from other discarded toys. It shows you have the creative mind of an artist.

      Thanks a lot Zigg. The junk is mostly household gubbins like curry trays, deo rollers, tic tac boxes, old card, rubber bungs, electrical bits and yep, two spirit levels. I've a few big boxes of trash items and always check what's getting chucked away before it's binned! Even the Missus saves me stuff now! ha ha
