Wow, I just love the Anderson stuff, this is great and I cant wait to see more of this - and the Stingray and UFO builds too. Dare I hope for Fireball XL-5 builds somewhere along the line? Or even Joe 90?



Thanks usn sentinel!

Obviously you're just dabbling around the edges of the Gerry Anderson thing.



Builds you've done look great!

Yeah, can't wait to see what you'll achieve when you get serious about it.


Good job on these.
What size were the original filming models?

What size were the original filming models?

just a guess the Atlantic was a small model no more than 30 inches possibly modified ship kits as hulls by the look of the water displacement, with water models 1 or 2 times the speed on your dvd remote and that tells you the true size of the water movement as we all know they were shot at high speed and slowed down, gives a good idea of scale.
The Ocean Pioneer was a huge model average bath length i think if you google it ,also a very small one not much bigger than mine was used that still survives today, the detail varies hugely on both models and a closeup deck model too .and mines is a mix of both models ,that's how i got the side profile and dimensions  from pics on line of the model as it is today.
Sentinel looks really small and a closeup deck model has much more detail , again mine is a mix not bang on but close.

Wow wow double wow ! I think that equals 'holy moly' lol

Where do we start ? Is that ever a collection ! Must be worth a small fortune ! When can I come over and play ? I promise not to break any bits off 

I really enjoy your scratch building. The double hulled ship is going to be a knock out. I dig the attention to detail in your paper templates as well.

As for a closer look, it's the open wooden cabinet for me. The yellow one at the bottom, the two fighter types ( a white and red one with a gold looking one behind ) two shelves above that, and then the transport and bomber types above them. And on the glass shelf that thing that looks like it has a sabre nose. To start
