All other modellers need to take note: Scratch-building is the truest test of all the skills required, and this is a masterclass. So impressed, it must have taken months and the result is truly a wonder to behold.

Just found this, and I'm totally floored, Harry you are an outstanding craftsman. I just started the DeAgostini kit from Model Space and found your vid while researching this kit. I just cannot believe you created this model from scratch, with every detail of the version of TB2 that we see taking off from it's launch ramp, the one with the castellated black ring round the rear engines. Simply stunning!
@Thunderbirds-models6 жыл бұрын
Thanks Gary, i own several TB2 models, one being the Takara 1/144 scale which is pretty much the same as the DeAgostini, and always wanted a 3 foot model, hence this model

I am now utterly jealous of the detail, workmanship and the realism of this outstanding model. The best I can do is having just signed up for the DeAgostini TB2 kitset build series. If I can end up with my finished model even half as good as yours I will be ecstatic. You have also planted a seed in my mind that I might (probably with a lot of luck and bad language) be able to replicate the pod and give myself more than the two pods that come with the 'kitset'. At least I have an advantage of a template to work off rather than working from scratch like you had to. You have created a priceless collectible!! Outstanding!
@Thunderbirds-models6 жыл бұрын
Thanks Robin, I bought the Takara 1/144th scale model several years ago which is almost identical to the DeAgostini, other than a different colour, from the same mold I reckon, great detail and is what I used as reference for some of this build, took me 2 years on and off, but was pleased with the end result, the DeAgostini is a nice model, good luck with the build mate
