Andersonisation at Moonbase


It's like 1967 over here. Moonbase Junior is enjoying his new old Tracy Island from Carlton. We picked it up boxed with all the vehicles for £20 from FB Marketplace.

Everything needed new batteries - so a lot - but everything worked after that! Result! 

From there I decided to introduce Junior to Project SWORD! Well, the pictures at least. It's harder for him to get excited when there's no TV show. He's an avid fan of Thunderbirds Are Go, the modern series.

I got carried away then and slipped a Thunderbird 4 in his Mateys box! It brought back great memories seeing it slide out into his bowl of cereal!


Things got even more Gerry Anderson then. Junior watched an episode of Stingray and Joe 90 on You Tube. He loved them! 

The training programme is well underway!

    His training is progressing well. Just one thing, on the playmat Thunderbird 4 is on the road - would it not be more at home in the boating lake ?
