Whats on the bench?

guys, Ive scanned this picture of art director Bob Bell and designer John Lageu examining the crablogger from the complete book of Thunderbirds

but does anyone know what the yellow and red kit bits on the workbench in front of it are from?

cheers

Mike

They look like comb binder strips - you know the plastic ones you use in binding machines

Yep, I think you're right there. I wonder what they used them for... not for binding papers that's for sure

main reason I was asking, is that if it was from a kit, then maybe other parts in the kit where worth looking at, ie it might have had something in it Ive been looking for

reason I thought they where from a plastic kit is that they seem to be attached to sprues/trees

cheers

They look attached to a cross shaped sprue. The colours suggest Faller.

could these be what they used on the axles of the elevator car?

They look as if they might be from a bridge railing/detailing kit that Faller made, but can't be certain.

I think they look like the old plastic 'Caps' you used to get for 'Cap Guns' (possibly used for mini explosions perhaps?) but then I'm fast approaching the big 45 and the eyes are starting to go so what do I know? plus nit is a very grainy image, hard to pick out any true definition or shape.
