“Security Hazard Minis” – New Episodes Every Monday on YouTube
Introducing “Security Hazard Minis,” a YouTube series featuring Gerry Anderson collectibles and Supermarionation insights from Security Hazard’s own Jack Knoll! Today we’re highlighting episodes you might have missed from January 2025 about unusual Thunderbirds statues, a 1993 Captain Scarlet annual, a unique signed vehicle design, and 1980s calendars showcasing various Anderson creations.
LEGO Spectrum Vehicles (Captain Scarlet)
If you’ve been waiting for more Captain Scarlet LEGO® builds from me then today is your lucky day because I’ve got ten, yes TEN, microscale Spectrum vehicles to share!
Quick Update: Move (House) – And You’re Dead (Not Really)
Hello all! Just a quick and cheery update today to explain my absence and hopefully serve up some tasty Anderson treats as a penance!
LEGO Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle (SPV)
The Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle is probably the most widely recognised vehicle from Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons and also presents a number of significant challenges for your average LEGO MOC builder. Its colouring, shape, and function are all thoroughly complicated and I don’t mind telling you that it took a number of attempts to get to this finished version.
LEGO Zero-X MOC (Thunderbirds Are Go)
There’s something about Zero-X which lends itself to the medium of LEGO. The blocky and modular nature of the design make it a match made in heaven. But don’t let that fool you into thinking this was an easy feat to pull off. I’ve been wanting to tackle Zero-X in LEGO for a long time, and it’s been my most requested build on Twitter and Facebook, but it took a lot of careful design work to make it a reality.
Spectrum HQ Cloudbase – LEGO MOC
One day I was surveying my collection of Gerry Anderson themed LEGO models and I realised that I had yet to build anything from Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons. I love the sleek design of the vehicles from Captain Scarlet, but they don’t necessarily lend themselves easily to the more blocky look of LEGO without the use of specialised parts. A better builder than I with a more expansive parts inventory would probably make an easy job of building a LEGO Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle or a Spectrum Passenger Jet, but each vehicle presents a unique challenge either because of its shape or its colour.
Ep 23 – Season 1 Finale
It’s time for Jack and Katherine to reflect on their exciting adventure watching the first episode of every Gerry Anderson series. Standby for revelations, games, and a look into the future…

It’s time for Jack and Katherine to face the wrath of the Mysterons once again! Playing her Thunderbird 1 lifeline, Katherine selects the first episode of the original Captain Scarlet series to sit down and watch. How will it compare to the CGI remake that Jack and Katherine enjoyed a few weeks previously?

The Operation Anderthon podcast kicks off with Katherine’s first choice – the 2005 CGI remake of the Supermarionation classic – Gerry Anderson’s New Captain Scarlet… that’s right, we’re starting our marathon at the end of Gerry’s career. What is Katherine thinking?!
