Konami Thunderbirds And UFO Models For Sale
Cyberspace Edition

Welcome to Space City! Back in the 1960's and early 1970's Gerry and Sylvia Anderson created some truly excellent science fiction shows. They featured many superb vehicles. It's the models of these craft that we concentrate on here. We've created original images featuring toys and models from Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and U.F.O. A publication like this wouldn't be complete without Terry Nation's Daleks - so you'll find them here too.
Over the years, many toys and models from these series have been produced - and a lot are still being manufactured today. In recent years a new way to make models has emerged - 3d computer graphics. Using Cinema 4D, Truespace and Bryce we've created models of Space City, Marineville, Moonbase and many of the craft from the various Anderson shows. We used computer graphics to create and animate models for the menus and linking screens on the Carlton Fireball XL5 DVDs. We created all of the pictures here at Space City using our own toys and models.	Who produces the toys and model kits? A lot of our models are injection molded plastic kits produced by Imai and other Japanese companies. Others are resin, vac-form plastic and metal kits from a variety of small companies. Toys are predominantly Dinky Toys from the 1960's and also the more recent Matchbox, Vivid Imaginations and Product Enterprise releases. Konami have produced a highly detailed range of models. Although they are sold as "candy toys" in Japan, these are possibly the most accurate Anderson models commercially produced. Where possible we'll note the manufacturer of the models on display here.

	SHADO MOON MODULE PASSING OVER MOONBASE Moonbase is Earth's first line of defence against hostile alien intruders. The Moon Module is SHADO's ferry rocket to take personnel to and from this vital installation. We created this image using our 3d graphics and a resin and metal model kit of the rocket. Take a look at the U.F.O. section for more images.

	STINGRAY Stingray - the fantastic submarine from the show of the same name. Pauline and I have re-created Stingray and it's headquarters - Marineville, in 3d computer graphics. See more pictures in our Stingray section.
	Terry Nation's DALEKS The Daleks were first seen on T.V. in 1963. During the 1960's they featured in a comic strip on the back page of TV21 comic, a magazine famous for it's Gerry Anderson show stories and pictures. Though the Daleks were created by Terry Nation, not Gerry Anderson, it seems fitting that they should have a place on our Space City website. The Dalek shown here is a 1/5 vacform kit produced by Sevans Models in the 1980's. See the Daleks section for more pictures and information about these evil creatures.
