Last week saw several items of interest to Anderson fans go under the hammer at the Ewbanks auction house, who had previously played host to a massive auction of material from Bray Studios including original Terrahawks props, models and puppets back in November On February 24th an auction of vintage toys and models opened with a selection of Anderson ….
Matthew reached forward and hit a button on his miniature control panel. A tiny red light illuminated to show the latches had been sealed. The Baker pressed the latch. Matthew held his breath.

Hot on the heels of Captain Scarlet the next television series produced by Century 21 arrived in Joe 90 saw the focus of the stories shift away from the traditional sci-fi adventures of the past to smaller-scale character-based tales, but still incorporating plenty of action and ….
Father Unwin, a mild mannered member of the clergy, had been visiting a friend, Professor Graham, on Friday evening. As well as providing the unmistakable voice of Scott Tracy in Thunderbirds , Shane had a long and expansive career in film and television as both an actor and a writer.
Hello again! The combination of moving house recently and a busy work schedule means that I have not been able to focus on writing for this blog as much as I would have liked.
With things settling down a bit now, and after a few recent happenings, I am fired up once again to bring you Anderson-themed musings.
Say hello to my new office. Most of this stuff has lived in boxes for the past two and a half years after my move from the UK to the US. I have been collecting basically since birth. A lot of the toys you will see are mine from when I was a kid, and some are even hand me downs from my older brothers.
Many items are far from being in pristine condition but the achievement is more in the fact that I have been able to hold onto them for this long, and that they survived the transatlantic shipping process.
Time for a tour! The shelving and the chair are from IKEA. One corner is dominated by empty boxes. Yes, I took most things out of their boxes to put them on display. They look prettier that way. I kept the boxes for posterity, though. The desk is mostly dedicated to my LEGO hobby.
All the pieces have sorted and organised into drawers and boxes to make the process of building MOCs that little bit easier. The monitor and speakers are only connected to a Google Chromecast device. I deliberately chose not to have a full PC set up in this room because I want it to primarily be a space to enjoy my collection and work on LEGO builds, rather than constantly checking social media and emails and the like.
The monitor is mostly there to display reference images for LEGO builds which I can cast from my phone via the Chromecast.
When not in use, the monitor displays the sci-fi artwork of Chris Thompson. Speaking of which, above the desk hangs one of my favourite pieces of Anderson artwork. I find myself staring at it for hours at a time. Next to that is a Terrahawks poster, also designed by Chris which came from the Big Finish table at Andercon The final artwork piece is much more personal. I will always feel incredibly privileged that he took the time to look over and sign this piece of artwork.
I was never fortunate enough to meet Gerry properly besides us bumping into one another on the way into a convention. Above the shelves I have framed the famous portraits from the series one set of the Tracy lounge.
These postcards were a backer gift from the Thunderbirds project and look absolutely cracking. I have all the boxes but not one of them states the manufacturer or any other information. That said, they were a lot cheaper to collect from eBay and car boot sales than the Robert Harrop equivalents. I have not had a good opportunity to collect much merchandise from the revived series. The shelf below is probably the biggest hodgepodge of the lot. The left hand side consists mostly of Dinky toys in varying conditions.
Gay Ellis talking figure. All of these were bought before Product Enterprise went out of business and the prices for their models tripled on eBay. My Robert Harrop collection consists of just an X from Stingray , and the lovely little Dick Spanner produced for the first Andercon. Vehicles from Terrahawks and New Captain Scarlet finish off this section. Below that is a collection of Tracy Islands. I have never had the opportunity to display all of them at once so this is pretty special.
A small corner of this shelf is also dedicated to pieces from Doctor Who and Red Dwarf — collections I would love to expand one day. Finally, a few pieces have not found a permanent home.
This puppet is in superb condition considering its age and actually looks better than the original puppet that was used on-screen. I hope to find a way to hang him up safely on display, but right now he lives in the comfort of his original box and tissue paper.
If there are any items you really want to take a closer look at from my collection, just post a comment below. If you have a room dedicated to your Gerry Anderson collection I would love to see that too. Stay tuned for more reviews and articles coming soon and let me know what you would like to see next! As we saw last time in Life after Captain Scarlet — part 1 Century 21 made good use of the Captain Scarlet regular cast in guest roles throughout Joe 90, albeit with some faces being seen more often than others.
In production began on the very last Supermarionation series The Secret Service, and once again most of the Spectrum crew …. When Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons entered production in it brought with it a revolution in the style of puppetry that Gerry Anderson and his team had been using up to that point.
Gone for good were the larger-headed slightly caricatured puppets of the earlier shows, and in came realistically-proportioned marionettes that better suited the darker more serious tone …. Our Supermarionation heroes are no strangers to the concept of miniaturisation! Did these …. November 23, Home Tag Archives: the secret service page 2.
