[Calvertfilm]

@bryanttillman LOL, I will be waiting patiently for the Postman to knock. Bet they say they lost it in the snow!

its amazing that i had the very same toy 43 years ago the Thunderbird 2 with a TB 4 inside ! . and BTW great job. :)

[Calvertfilm]

@badawg1962 Cheers. Actually this particular toy is a fairly modern one. You had another version. But I know what you mean because I had an old TB1 in the 60s or 70s.

[fatducksareobese]

amazing :)

[fatducksareobese]

i loved 1:14 :) amazing job :)

[Calvertfilm]

@fatducksareobese Thanks. Actually having the string on the human hand was an idea we had because in the J Frakes film version he had a puppet hand in close-up for the human actors. Hard to spot but it is there when they are launching one of the Thunderbirds.

[fatducksareobese]

@Calvertfilm yeah, probaly the best part of the film ;)

[Calvertfilm]

@fatducksareobese Probably right mate :-)

I have that Firefly! I remember these good times after a saturday morning daily at 11:00, I'd just get all the Thunderbirds out and attempt to reanact the program.

[Calvertfilm]

@RobotsGreatWar2 Ha, ha, yeah, didn't we all. That was the great thing - it inspired me to play and use my imagination, and that has progressed into making films these days.

[TheDumper123]

very good videos :)

[TB1fan]

Big kudos to you on your space effects and you did a really good job with TB1 tipping the craft, id love to see what you could do with better filming models and more discreet wire :)

[Calvertfilm]

@TB1fan Thanks for your kind words. Well we wanted the wire to keep in line with the original in some way. Did you see the wires on my hands too :-)

But if you search other movies we've made you will see all sorts, some with models on gimbles, CGI, all sorts of film-making techniques used over the years.

[Calvertfilm]

@Garfie489 Thanks for the offer. 

[mayangod1isback]

Thank you Calvertfilm for this great project. I noticed that somebody always sleeps on the wheel and that is where trouble really starts. Thank God we have the THUNDERKIDS to make a safer world. Thank you kindly for sharing. You guys are awesome. Greetings from LA, CA. USA. The MayanGod1 liked this video. This one goes straight to my favorites.

[Calvertfilm]

@mayangod1isback Ha, ha, yeah you're right. This guy didn't even notice an asteroid coming towards him. Asleep at the wheel....

[bryanttillman]

Bravo! Bravo! A masterpiece for the ages!!! Better than the original "Thunderkids", as if something like that could be topped. B

[Calvertfilm]

@bryanttillman Very kind. Thanks. 

[theemporour]

if you just finished it how come it was made about 6 years ago

[Calvertfilm]

@theemporour What I mean is it took 6 years for me to get around making a sequel. It didn't take that long to actually make. I'll re-write the comments.

I've been busy in between making an indy feature: monstersmovie(dot)com

[marceloribeirobarros]

Amazing !!!!! thunderbirds forever !!!!!

[RobotsGreatWar2]

Wow! I still have that Firefly that could fit into the pod of Thunderbird 2.
