Hello All,
What did you do during lockdown?
I decided to crack the black magic of 3D modelling software and printing technologies. This Thunderbird Three model is a replica of the 26" studio miniature and was based on a model project I acquired from the talent of Bob Smith (one half of AB Models). Apart from the resin 3d printed parts the body sections are cut Acrylic tube with Aluminium tubes to detail parts in the engines. I have spent a year learning the basics of Fusion 360 and the techniques for printing parts in the messy, smelly Anycubic Mono X resin based printing system. The results are stunning and I am so pleased to have made the effort. I am offering this model as a kit so you can build your very own. if you would like to make enquiries to buy one simply email sales@abovebeyondretail.co.uk
I have made a set of vinyl lettering for the hull and a set of paint masks if you would rather paint the lettering onto the model. There are wiring holes in the lower engine pylons should you wish to add LED into the engine exhausts. Each part of this kit will be spares backed and available to buy separately as a replacement in case of mishaps. I hope you like it! - Bernie
