I mentioned how breathtaking the
mid-century design in Thunderbirds is, but I wasn't able to find really good photos to prove my case. Much like the Thunderbirds themselves,
modern_fred has come to the rescue, with his gorgeous models of Tracy Island, Tracy Villa, the Thunderbirds Round House and a few Thunderbirds launch pads.

Hey!
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't entirely understand what I'm seeing here. I'm Dutch, so maybe I missed that part of the story but... is this a replica, entirely made by a fan or something? I have to say it's breathtaking... beautiful!
Wow, a reader from the Nederlanders. Welcome.
ReplyDeleteYes, this in a model replica built by a fan of the show.
Thank you for posting these images ! As a long-time fan of the show, I always wondered about the exact layout of the Island. Now I know. Again, thanks !
ReplyDeleteYeah, Sometimes I wish Derek Meddings had been an architect!
