[@ewaf88]

The original 60s series of Thunderbirds included CGI, it was one of the effects industries most closely guarded secrets.
Poor Derek Meddings wasn't a model builder, the poor chap had to spend all day producing punchcards to program the giant effects computer.
He used to describe this work as - Fiddly and boring.
Gerry used this when creating FAB

[@Greenhornet204]

[@Dougurasufilm]

Geez are you okay? Go get some sleep or something?
