These photos show Thunderbird 4 under construction in jelutong wood. The model had a brass "Scoop" light and detailed interior.

A front cover photo showing TB4 in a recreated scene from the TV episode "Terror in New York City". The photo was actually taken upside down with the model suspended above some water. When turned the other way up it looked as though you were looking up at the surface of the water above TB4

Setting up comic cover No 17. In order for the water in all my photos to look correct I had to dye the water blue. For this I used "toilet blue", that little thing you hang in the cistern to disinfect the water!

The final comic cover shot featuring TB2 and TB4. In fact the models were built on different scales but this just gave an effect of false perspective that made TB4 look much closer to the camera than it really was.

Another final scene used in the comic again featuring the use of false perspective

TB4 catches the crashed "Skimjet" (another model previously made for "Starguard") as it falls through the ice.

Setting up what proved to be the most difficult shot I did for the comics.
