To be a child in the sixties was to have your imagination given wings by Gerry Anderson: Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, and Captain Scarlet rolled out like a drumbeat from 1961 to 1968.
As a tribute, I painted Capt Scarlet, Lt Green and Lt Yellow. Models from Crooked Dice.
Gerry Anderson died on 26th December, 2012.
A nice tribute with some fab figures.
ReplyDeleteF.A.B.
DeleteNice models indeed.
ReplyDelete@Simon: wrong show, mate.
That's Thunderbirds ;-)
S.I.G John, nice miniatures
ReplyDeleteThanks AK
ReplyDeleteOK, sticking with supermarionation, though; what did F.A.B. stand for ?
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember Gerry Anderson being asked that. I think he said it stood for nothing. It was the cool word of the 60s (fabulous). The Beatles were the Fab Four.
