Here is my LEGO model of Thunderbird 4 (from the 1965 show).
The thunderbird itself has approx 550 pieces, excluding ocean.
The model is scaled at 1:43.5 (to match my LEGO railway collection)
Next up will probably be some pod vehicles, or pod 4! (Pod 4 will be about 60cm long!)
I feel for the runway maintenance team everytime one of the IR craft landed.
"Gary we need to repave stand 7 and part of the taxiway again, some idiot flew right over it with massive rocket engines and melted divots into the surface"
The Fireflash is right up there as my fave civilian vehicle in thunderbirds. From what i know of aviation the design wouldnt work but if thats true i wonder how much you would need to tweak it but still keeping as much of the shape as possible.
God i take the crystal clear Blu-rays for granted these days! That said, there's something heartwarming about watching it like it'd been filmed with a potato with vaseline smeared over the lens 🥲
One of the thunderbirds ones in the left bottom corner and the Joe 90 ones I had from before that
Also had to throw out the mouldy ones 😢
But yeah all that for £5
Let me know what you guys think in the comments.
To share with u/frakkintoaster7
Basically just moved the engines to somewhere that made more sense for balancing mass, thrust and drag. and as a bonus it puts them further away from the pilots, so all that sweet, nourishing radiation can be saved for paying passengers.
If I could find them I could show them but anyways
For the thunderbird 6 movie I found it so funny that sky-ship ones officials just kept on shooting at thunderbird six like they didn't watch. Rescue,it was actually pretty cool not gonna lie
And also,for the zero x movie,my question is, were the rock snakes we saw the mysterions or no? Cause captain black WAS on the zero X if im correct..so yeah
Was wondering if anyone was interested in joining this project.
I feel like there’s a gap in a proper 3D ‘open world’ Thunderbirds game. I’d imagine an open word Tracy island, where you can walk around and see all of the Thunderbird rooms, and you can launch missions from the launch pad, with the ability to have up to 4 players in co-op.
I’d be building it on Unreal Engine, and I don’t have much expertise in game development, but I do in aerospace engineering and I can probably use some skills from that to work on modelling the aircraft (though I’m not certain), but flight physics for sure!
If anyone is interested in joining or has questions or ideas or feedback on how or what I should work on, let me know in comments or DM!
I love the opening titles, but the characters in Joe 90 are so bland [so far, at least]. I do admire how dark it was willing to go with character deaths and such though and it may well grow on me!
I think that the Secret Service would have worked a lot better if it was all in love action except for tiny Matthew.
Maybe a few of you on the subreddit have already heard of us, but the FAB Podcast has done all the Thunderbirds episodes and is now well in to Captain Scarlet - come over and have a listen if you're an Anderson fan, these eps are free to listen!

I prefer Marina as a character, but I think Atlanta had better chemistry with Troy. I was very tempted to make "they both deserve a man who can make up their mind" as a third option! 😂
I have game models a friend of mine made for characters from Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, and Thunderbirds, as well as models of the vehicles imported from those I found on the web.
I'm working on rigging some 3D models of Fireball XL5 from the show at the moment with Steve, Venus and Commander Zero done so far. I've equipped all 3 with a scanner/ tricorder device they can pull out, as well as a retro looking SF pistol and rifle.
My question is do Matt and/ or Robert ever use a gun? Also I know that Steve, Venus and Matt have their own color coded jetmobile I'm going to put them on, , but how about Robert?
I would ask about Zoony but I'm assuming the answer's "No" on him.
When I'm finished working on Fireball XL5, I'll be working on Stingray, then Thunderbirds after that. Does Marina or Atlanta ever use a gun on Stingray?
For the Thunderbirds, I plan to have all five of the Tracy boys with a version of the jetmobile to ride, probably just reusing the model from Fireball.
Does Jeff, Brain, Kyrano, or Tin-Tin ever use a gun?
Thanks for any answers.
