💥 The Kairos Spider 2.0💥 An elaborate 3D printed, rod puppet, designed and built by me. (Inspired by the original design from ‘The Harvest Of Kairos’ 1980.) The creature required an equally elaborate team of puppeteers. 😎 It was an ambitious build and an ambitious shoot, but it was huge fun.

The Dalek Battlecruiser is a favourite of mine and I had actually incorporated some elements of it into the Remembrance Mothership. The model is just under 2 ft as I wanted to get some pretty close passes on it. It was 3d printed by Ryan Wade and built by me. 3/11

Keeping with the practical fx vibe we built 2 new miniature ships for the episode. While the model work in the original is strong, they are fairly under-lit so my focus with the new shots was to add a sense of clarity and dynamism to the opening attack. No reference was available for either… 2/11

Looks like I can finally talk about this! "Hidden Dangers continues with a new comic anthology of newly produced Thunderbirds comic adventures, edited by Dan Whitehead..." Got some fantastic people working on this, can't wait to start showing it off.

"Following weeks of successive disasters, International Rescue faces one of their biggest challenges yet, but with building fatigue and failing equipment are they in any state to operate?"

Artwork of the Ocean Pioneer 3 run aground and on fire as Thunderbird 2 attempts to airlift the crew.

We actually had been doing rough tests for the Myrka since early 2024, here's a compilation of tests using a mix of full CG and a silicone hand puppet. I was reluctant to go with a fully CG version as I wanted it to be at least rooted in something practical to feel authentic. 2/9
