There's also an article on the art and new vehicle designs here; https://gerryanderson.com/blogs/blog/james-gray-reveals-the-secrets-of-illustrating-project-sword
As interesting as this is and I hope it does well, I'm afraid it looks nothing like Project SWORD to me. The author even says the toy designs that were released all needed a makeover. Can't agree with that at all. The originals are classic - Probe Force, Re-Entry Task Force, Scramble Bug etc, and the awesome Zero-X are far better than this. It's OK to update stuff but these are totally different vehicles and ships and IMHO they all look like they are drawn straight from the Beano or Dandy rather than a Gerry Anderson production. This 'modern update' is not for me but as I said above I sincerely wish them the best of luck.
