Bill EV's Taito Thunderbird 3

Here's one that my friend Wayne Stock did. The model is a Taito TB3, I did the photography, placing it in front of a black velvet backdrop. [a-la-space-1999-eagles]

There were several shots taken and then then it was over to Wayne to do the really clever stuff. He's a very talented fine artist and photographer, and even had exhibitions when we were still in school together. In fact, I've known Wayne since I was about 4 years old, so we predate Thunderbirds!

The TB3 normally sits in a display cabinet on a shelf with the rest of my roughly 1/300th scale collection of models which include; a Concorde, Zero-X, Titan 3 MOL, Avro Vulcan and a load of other Gerry Anderson TV Vehicles.

But it was good to see the old firework in her natural environment!
