The attention to detail in the models and sets is astounding. Anyone who has attempted to build models will know and envy the skills of the set and model makers. At the risk of sounding like an old fogy, I wonder how many kids now have the patience to spend a week or two building a miniature of anything...
Actually, model building and painting is highly popular right now in a lot of different ages. I started heavily with prehistoric Diorama and Basebuilding in late 2019, when i just got 30. Finally i started this hobby. I wanted it my whole life. Moreover Warhammer (Miniature Tabletop Wargamining. Started in the 80s. Am sorry if you already know al that. But just in case) is a frikkin huge thing all over the world from old Frogs to Kids and Teenagers. Of course, a lot of people are on their Phones in the Internet. Like we are, right now. Not building models. It really is a thing. Models and paintworks have more products in the shelves as ever and the Internet is full of tutorials, communities, videos and forums about model building. Sculpting and so on. And let's not forget the whole world of scale model trains. It is not wrong that most people (not only the Kids!) Seem to marry their Phone (a look into my mirror.. well) and lost the ability to concentrate on something like that. But Model building is so big. And there a are a lot of young People, that blow every Model or Landscape from this show out of existence in Quality and Realism. Materials and techniques came a long way. And filming all that is also a different task. It is easy to see only the Kids that behave so different to what you are used to know or how you grew up. But it is not always the whole picture. Hard to see. Also for me. Same as i have a focus on these topics because i am intersted in Dioramas and models. So i am also not completely able to see it without this Bubble. :D also, this is an emotional topic for humans. Cheers and happy Model Building. If not, why not start with this wonderful hobby.

Desde la ciudad de México Saludos a todos los seguidores de los Thunderbird yo tengo 60 años y me encantan y me siguen emocionando como cuando los ví la primera vez
🚀04:20. I remember this spectacular scene. Thunderbirds was like to see a MOVIE on big screen. I was always impressed with each episodes. This is the only show from 60 ies always seen in 2020🌐.
One of those shows all of us 60's, 70's and 80's children grew up with... I love the whole Thunderbirds thing... hell I even loved Team America World police... Own the box set of the TB series' and love them dearly... the amount of work it took to create each episode was mind blowing... Really glad they all live on generations later!!!
Thunderbird 2 was "the Daddy". I had the full TB2 die cast toy in the late 60s with the TB4 pod. Wish I had kept it. I also had Captain Scarletts SPv with firing rockets.
Meccano sold the Dinky toy Thunderbird 2 painted metallic blue at one point and Gerry told the story somewhere that he warned them about it. He said that someone told him that they could never sell it painted green!
me too...i had all Thunderbirds toys and Captain Scarlet cars...even Joe 90s car....but little sister threw them away when i joined the army and my old bedroom became her little sitting room
What I LOVED about the original show was that it looked like how I played with toys. Throwing and crashing the toys into the pool. It was the same type of splash that was shown on Thunderbirds, not this perfect CGI of what a splash would look like. I knew they were toys on the show, and it was exactly how I played with my toys. What I don't like about the 2004 movie and the new series, is that they try too hard to make everything look real. I loved the original because it was how my best friend and I played with toys in the backyard. They looked like how we were playing with our G.I. Joes, our Hot Wheels, our Johnny Lightning cars, and our Lego (with our hand made ships, not the new ones that have instructions as to how to make the toy and what it should look like). The show looked exactly like when we lit fire crackers under the tank toys and blew them up. THAT is why I loved the original series.
The 2004 movie was ridiculous. They tried too hard to "futurize" timeless designs that shouldn't've been messed with and the final results looked awful. The Hood was on Tracy Island and the entire fucking movie revolves around alan. Gerry said it was shit, and the movie was a complete failure... serves them right.
The main problem with Thunderbird 1 is that it couldn't do a damn thing. It arrived at the scene, and then waited for Thunderbird 2 to bring the actual rescue equipment.
It did do a few things occasionally. Remember in that episode End Of The Road where Eddie's truck was hanging over the cliff and Scott positioned TB1's nose cone under the truck to stop it from over-toppling? - of course then TB2 did the rest. Oh and TB1 also fired them rocket things to prevent the large rocks from hitting the vehicle. And there was also the time when the Hood had some film footage of International Rescue ready to show to his boss. Then Scott persued him with TB1 and fired a few bullets to make him give in.
Apparently Gerry "hated" John because of the puppet's "flat" expression, and rather cold voice. He was originally intended to fly Thunderbird 1, but when Gerry saw the puppet he wasn't happy with how it looked. Due to the long creative process of the puppets, it was too much hassle to make a new puppet, so they sent him to space instead.
Gerry made me laugh with his disapproval of TB5's design and John Tracy in general. It's like: "I stuck him up there just to be mean to him" lol Only joking Gerry, I love you. i still wish you was with us now
+Johnno9989 Just a couple of degrees sway to the side in any direction, on just one launch, for any reason, and an engine pod of Thunderbird five bumps against the clubhouse deck, the reverberation bounces the entire vehicle back down, It hits the launch pad, the hydrazine and fuming red nitrate fuel spills from ruptured tanks, immediately bursts into a huge fireball, and tracy island goes up with a gigantic flaming blast!
I fly remote control airplanes so I have a little understanding of aerodynamics and it looks to me like Thunderbird 2 could really fly it's a giant lifting body, just needs powerful enough engines! this is way before NASA experimented with lifting bodies
They named the thunderbirds international rescue characters after the Mercury 7 Astronauts. Like Scott is named after Scott Carpenter, and so on, Virgil (Gus) Grissom, Alan Shepard, Gordon Cooper, and John Glenn.
The rumour has always been that he hated John because Sylvia requested one of the puppets look like Adam Faith, who she had a massive crush on, and Gerry was jealous of this so hated the puppet as a result.
If I could redo Thunderbirds, Thunderbird 5 would be a network of 3 unmanned satellites located in geostationary orbit at 120 degree intervals, a la Arthur C Clarke's idea, with a downlink to Tracy Island, where John or any of his brothers could sit in a secret radio room, monitoring the world's communications without having to be exiled to space.
@@oo0Spyder0oo OK well the machines, that is the models used on set weren't built at Slough but the work contracted to Master Models at Colnbrook. www.mastermodels.co.uk/
It was clearly designed for long duration spaceflight. It even had artificial gravity. Checking the wiki, it says the crew were up there for one month shifts, and had a bedroom. Presumably it has a galley and bathroom too.
In the new cgi series we see tb 5 in space and look what is now used as a lift to bring John up to the station ? Yes the space elevator a idea and invention from Japanese inventors and it seems that they are busy to make that project real. Nope they did not get it from the series for the series were later than the idea for the space elevator !
I'm 23. I spend a great amount of time building all sorts of model kits. I want to do it professionally, it's a real shame they're now somewhat out of favour...
As well as that, they thought it would be more believable as us British never had or will have the resources for such extravagant things like space travel.
Possibly...but I have since concluded that the island where TB1 is located is somewhere in the South Pacific...which could explain the distances involved here...
MACHOMISTERYMAN As it must take some time to accelerate and decelerate to and from such speeds I imagine that it can't possibility be at maximum speed for the entire journey so therefore the delay despite the max speed. Also can you imagine how boring it would be if there wasn't that "they aren't going to make it in time moment".
+Anonymous Gamer I know, I just loved it and the other marionette shows... Supercar, Stingray, Fireball XL5, etc.... now you can download them, or get a DVD set, and enjoy them all over again...
He wasn't winging,cos he drove the seafaring Thunderbird 4,mostly. He was whingeing though about TinTin.And not mopping but moping. (an English teacher and Thunderbird fan writes) But I agree with you.Poor John,What could a puppet do with itself up there alone in space?
What an imaginative and cool show (I only just learned of it),, but why did the characters have American accents? The narrator (in the glasses) looks like Noel Harrison (as U.N.C.L.E.'s Mark Slate) and the chauffeur like Ringo Starr!! Several of them remind me of Ray Wise (Twin Peaks) . How much FUN?! They are so stud-ly. Thank you for the upload
I don't remember that Gerry Anderson hated the character of;John Tracey.I'm a little too young to remember.Never the less,Gerry 'had a use''for that character!Yeah,let's stick him up in Thunderbird three!Oh well,at least it was a good show!I'm a ''bit picky''when it come's to show's,now-a-day's.And,here's hoping the new ''Ufo''movie will be ''on top''of the viewing scale like the original was.We can only hope it will be good!Bettyloulee
As a kid, I was disappointed that thunderbird 3 never had many trips. I did muse that it couldn't have enough fuel in those pods for a launch, especially knowing /watching the Apollo programme. 🤔 hmmm, unless is was a liquid from the main body- haha, lol. Someone build a model plane with the wings going backwards- would it fly ? Lol.

I always loved how Thunderbird 2 bounced while taxiing on the runway. It gave the illusion of great weight.
Yes, that sort of rolling bounce that says it's well loaded down.
You wouldn't get that in peter Jackson's abortion . I wonder if it still goes?

The Thunderbird models would fetch a fortune if they ever came up at auction.
This show made my childhood so sweet...
🚀04:20. I remember this spectacular scene. Thunderbirds was like to see a MOVIE on big screen. I was always impressed with each episodes. This is the only show from 60 ies always seen in 2020🌐.
All the T-Bird vehicles were fascinating, but my favorite is T-Bird 1. I also enjoyed the commentary by Gerry, may God rest his soul.

CGI just leaves me cold especially when they over do it in the movies. Less is more, people!
Gerry Anderson what a legend
Great show I loved it as a kid.
Poor John, stuck up in space - alone! Hopefully Gerry sent TinTin up there occasionally to cheer him up!
He had access to all the world's porno channels.
@@colinp2238 No need for Tin Tin than! lol
@@bobjohnson205 But he will go blind.
What are you saying about Tin Tin then? Is she a servant in more ways than one?
50 years on and Thunderbird 2 still looks 'futuristic'.One of the greatest TV shows ever produced.Great music as well!
I love Thunderbirds i used to watch it when i was 9. I love all of them :-)
Soundtracks were pretty good as well
Pure Genius.
The main problem with Thunderbird 1 is that it couldn't do a damn thing. It arrived at the scene, and then waited for Thunderbird 2 to bring the actual rescue equipment.

AS with any critical situation, you need eyes on the ground first. Plus Thunderbirds needed their own secure comms & command onsite. Simple.
Well, that's the whole Point of Thunderbird 1, it's supposed to SURVEY the area and determine how the rescue can be performed.
yes u r right johnno9989
Thunderbird 1 was, as I believe, the only one that was armed and could fire at enemy craft.
Apparently Gerry "hated" John because of the puppet's "flat" expression, and rather cold voice. He was originally intended to fly Thunderbird 1, but when Gerry saw the puppet he wasn't happy with how it looked.

and unfortunately the series has ended.

+Johnno9989
Baikonoure Cosmodrome, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - CCCP. - 1965.
It pained me to see the Thunderbird 2 prop on fire as I've always regarded TB2 to be the most perfect thing on this planet.
Actually. Virgil perished in the crash and was recreated by the Mysterons.
arse bandit Who was then killed by the Destiny angels. S.I.G.!!
Poor John probably has his own supplies of blow up dolls for those lonely moments.
Virgil did not perish in the crash he passed out
Just like Paul McCartney.
Thanks for this memory.
I agree with Gerry about the boring Thunderbird 5 scenes and also why it was a good idea to show as little as possible of John!
No, they weren't "boring," nor was it "a good idea to show as little as possible of John!" That reasoning is superficial and shallow.
子供の頃、2号のプラモを5回以上買いました。
In my childhood, I bought hobby kits of Thunderbird 2, more than "five" times.
Always wondered why they never had a tugboat for sea rescues. A sub can only do so much.
TinTin was just stringing them along.
nice, the budget was also on string
is it just me? or does virgil seem to do the most of the work on the the majority of missions
Virgil MVP
@Ned Chil Or Lady Penelope's knickers!
This was a good programe when I was 9. I'm now 50. What does that say about us? Or is it me? Great show. Talent is obvious. XX
What part of this relates to the making of the machines?
Watching this on Thunderbirds Day
Thunderbird 2 : my favorite 😎👍
This has been such fun! What a clever ad innovative man who had the idea to make! :)
These we're great shows.
I fly remote control airplanes so I have a little understanding of aerodynamics and it looks to me like Thunderbird 2 could really fly it's a giant lifting body, just needs powerful enough engines! this is way before NASA experimented with lifting bodies
Minha infância foi vendo isso! adorava.
Wow I really know now how they were made..
Hoping to sell well in the USA, which they did and kept the studio in business.
Dick Tracy must have been a black sheep of the family...all he got was a watch.
Thunderbird 2 was made to fly as a model in the UK recently. Flies well they commented.
I’m glad that these show’s are still available!I think,you can get them threw;Fanderson?
This is the best serie in the world children and adults love that👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I still have this on a VHS tape somewhere.
I do not miss the puppets, the story is it, suspense and drama
Still very cool after all these years, nought said.
How does Virgil get back into the lounge after each mission?
He has a key to the front door. His dad gave him one on his 21st birthday.
Reruns in 2001, made me get all the toys aged 6/7 hahah :P
T2 was a fave of mine.
They named the thunderbirds international rescue characters after the Mercury 7 Astronauts. Like Scott is named after Scott Carpenter, and so on, Virgil (Gus) Grissom, Alan Shepard, Gordon Cooper, and John Glenn.
TB4 was my fav thundrbird :)
best animation which ever made,,,,
1:59 Oh It's You Gerry Anderson. X
I always felt sorry for John Because he was mainly stuck in space on T5 all alone.
well think when u watch this , as there was 5 thunder birds and there was 5 who went to space in true life
I'm from Brazil and agree with you.
The rumour has always been that he hated John because Sylvia requested one of the puppets look like Adam Faith, who she had a massive crush on, and Gerry was jealous of this so hated the puppet as a result.
Sylvia had a crush on John Glenn, hence he got parked up in space in T 5.
Brain getting his enriter world ruined/rocked : The series.
I guess Gerry didn't care much for the episode "Danger at Ocean Deep" then as John actually takes part in the rescue mission for that episode.
15000mph wow thats fast
R.I.P Gerry Anderson

If they redid Thunderbirds in the near future, Thunderbird 5 would probably become a smartphone.
Not really much about the making of the machines.
Stfu this show is so great and I didn’t even grow up with it
STFU ? Seems like you didn't grow up at all mate. I'm entitled to my opinion as are you, no need to be a child about it.

F.A.B. Fish Ain't Bitin'!
The burning question is why GA hated John Tracey??
George remenbered him " JOHNNY SWOONARA" from STINGRAY 😂, lol.
you know alan is the youngest and all his brothers boss him around
All the sons had different coloured hair. As a child I never noticed this but as I grew into a sick adult alarms bells began to ring.
one the color of the father, the other of the mother, the next a mixture of both.
they don't need 5 different mothers ;)
Thanks Edo. I feel more at peace now after reading your excellent analysis!
Loved it!
How did Tintin ever sit down after all the Tracy boy's had there way with her.
She was well worn out before she first got to Tracy Island. The boys were just to help keep her in condition.
bloody hell.....look at the exhaust emissions.......
Would never pass an MOT these days.
FAB
Awesome 😎
Gente, eu era muito feliz nesta época.
I wonder if Thunderbird 5 ever have a bathroom on it?
It was clearly designed for long duration spaceflight. It even had artificial gravity. Checking the wiki, it says the crew were up there for one month shifts, and had a bedroom. Presumably it has a galley and bathroom too.
+Keven Gumm Maybe there was a scope with cross hairs mounted to a big slingshot pointing down on it.
Do puppets need a bathroom?
Super marionettes are fully functional, so yes. Puppeteers-in-training start on bathroom duty.

why did he hate his own character???... doesn't make sense to me, but that does explain why we never saw him all that much in the series. :/
AnonYmous17 They were named for The Mercury Five and his wife Sylvia had a crush on John Glenn, hence the reason John Tracy was banished to TB 5

Always like number 2.
impresionante,debieran seguir.
If TB1 could travel at 1500 mph...how come it would have taken him 2 hours to get to France? (as seen in "The Perils of Penelope")
Possibly...but I have since concluded that the island where TB1 is located is somewhere in the South Pacific...which could explain the distances involved here...
tim hilton
Heh, I think it was established about 40 years ago, that Tracy island was in the south pacific.
***** More like 50 years...na na na na na nah (tongue sticking out)
**COUGH COUGH** 15.000 mph **COUGH COUGH** but that only makes it a bigger mystery
