MODELLER

Welcome to my website

- My biggest hobby is making models and I have been doing this for a couple of years now.
- I am not a professional builder but I try to make the models as good as possible.
- I am so obsessed with building that I almost build as a professional. I try to make the models as accurate as the originals.
- The models are all build from scratch.

The models that I have made are models from Gerry Andersons THUNDERBIRDS from 1965

Thunderbird 1 24 inch tall
Thunderbird 2 40 inch tall
Thunderbird 3 29 inch tall
Thunderbird 3 5 feet 6 inch
Thunderbird 1 6 inch tall
Thunderbird 2 10 inch tall

I have a nice workshop what i have expand and finished in 2016 and is now about 32 square meters and that is four times bigger as my first one.

I have all the tools for making the models.A lath for wood and anotherone for iron.

Also a bandsaw and a grinding maschine.My latest products that i have bought are a vacumpot and a vacumepump very usefull when you work with silicone and resin.To tear the air out off them and get a better result with molding the silicone and casting the resin.

Thunderbird 1 24 inches tall the model is made completely out of resin and has folding wings.By turning on the nosecone

The decals on my models i can cut by my self and can make them any size ore any font i want.They are from very thin vinyl and can be in white or other colors to.

This stand is for the horizontal flight.The aluminium rod is attached to the hull of the model at the underside were the vertical thruster is.

Thunderbird 2

The model is 40 inches long

It has costs me a very long time to get the shape wright from this beautifull design from Derek Meddings.With a little help off Martin Bower who has me send a sample from the color off this model ,thanks to him i had the change to put the wright color on.

The model is used for the new episodes from the Thunderbirds 1965 and the pictures are from the set
