Join me, a first-time model builder, as I tackle the TechnoBoyger Plastic Model Kit from Moderoid, featuring iconic vehicles from the forgotten 1980s anime series ‘Thunderbirds 2086.’
I’ll be assembling and detailing the TB1, TB2, and TB3 spacecraft, showcasing the intricate design and craftsmanship of these unusual sci-fi vehicles.
Along the way, I’ll also discuss the unusual history of ‘Thunderbirds 2086’. Originally known as Scientific Rescue Team Technoboyger (科学救助隊テクノボイジャー, Kagaku Kyūjo Tai Tekunoboijā) in Japan and completely unrelated to the original ‘Thunderbirds’ series, the show was then transformed for English audiences into a radical reimagining of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s Supermarionation series. Set in the 21st century, it follows the adventures of International Rescue as they respond to disasters and save lives using their advanced vehicles and technology.
Join me on this nostalgic journey as we dive into the world of ‘Thunderbirds 2086,’ exploring the intricate details of these very special spacecraft.
