Thunderbird 1 and hangar progress: I love replicating these small details the best I can and the diving board is an example... It hit me today that I'm treating reference pictures of a model as if it's a real place... That's how believable the original sets were and why children and adults were inspired and swept away by a epic piece of television - @gerryandersontv really was a legend 🙌 #Thunderbird1 #smallfurniture #thunderbirds #divingboard #tinystructures #pool #smallerandsmaller #plasticaddict #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #swimmingpool #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #thunderbirdsdiorama #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #gerryanderson https://www.instagram.com/p/B-4nobxnKln/?igshid=lhjvlelgsze2

Thunderbird 1 and hangar progress: Here's my palm tree sample... Simply a plastic rod 7 - 8 cm in length wrapped in a strip of sticky backed paper. Hit with grey primer and a dove grey chalk spray paint and then Vallejo paints to colour. The leaves were simply cut out on sticky backed paper and then a piece of florist wire placed down the centre and then stuck to a standard piece of paper. They were then painted shades of darker green and then slits cut to form the leave strands 👍 Painting on the whole diorama is now well underway 🙌 #Thunderbird1 #thunderbirds #palmtrees #trees #tinystructures #leaves #smallerandsmaller #plasticaddict #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #howto #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #thunderbirdsdiorama #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #gerryanderson https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7VTdYHQML/?igshid=78auomppg9mm

Thunderbird 1 and hangar progress: Sunday funday! Two more areas completed. The end part of the rail system was a cool bit to do as it had a few interesting gradients to consider. I've also done the two lamps that shine onto TB1. Image these out of a pair of broken white ear phones, some rubber grommets and plastic rod, fingers crossed I can have these working! 🤞 #Thunderbird1 #tb1 #thunderbirds #hangar #launchbay #spareparts #earphones #plasticaddict #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #styrene #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #lettheartdothetalking #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #gerryanderson https://www.instagram.com/p/B-mk57an6AC/?igshid=kp5t1r6msan6

Thunderbird 1 and hangar progress: At first I found making the small details really fiddly and I remember it being the most daunting part of my Thunderbird 2 hangar project I did first... but now I've found ways of evolving the way that I put things together and get things looking neater however, it's still a challenge to be neat 👍 I've been making the end wall today which there are limited reference photos for but I've done what I can 🤟 the end photo shows a look down on TB1 as I put in the barriers for the launch pad, really nice to do 👌 #Thunderbird1 #tb1 #thunderbirds #hangar #launchbay #smallparts #internationalrescue #plasticaddict #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #plasticwelding #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #lettheartdothetalking #isolationcreation #untiltomorrow #gerryanderson https://www.instagram.com/p/B-chwH4Jkkh/?igshid=hxj4iqvaawz5

Thunderbird 1 and hangar progress: More thumb sized miniature pieces 👍 Literally using tiny pieces of plasticard and rod to create these bits with a dab of gorilla glue and some plastic weld here and there and listening to @bbcsounds for company! If I didn't put my efforts into projects like this I'm not quite sure what I'd be doing! I hope you've all had a good day! Let's keep going and see this time through 💪 Until tomorrow! 🙌 #Thunderbird1 #tb1 #thunderbirds #hangar #launchbay #smallparts #internationalrescue #plasticaddict #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #silo #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #lettheartdothetalking #isolationcreation #untiltomorrow #gerryanderson (at Tracey Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XbEEtnwDn/?igshid=1wxqvav4vx9ty
