Oh that's a shame, he was a very talented and forward thinkin guy.......
The impact he had on every kid thru the 60's and 70's is immeasurable, he defined a generation.......F.A.B you Bananarama! ;)

Gerry Anderson was ahead of most of the other innovators right to the end. His HD animated Captain Scarlet was at least 5 years ahead of its time.

and who didn't want a Thunderbird two???

MOPAR - Move Over Power Arriving Rapidly

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My Mopar upon you

Managed to catch it 2nd time round (too young for the first).

Think this was all at the same time as Anthia Turner , Blue Peter and Tracy Islandm whch bought about the resurgence!

Can still remember looking at the models that they made (and often blew up), the car chases etc and thought how fantastic it all was for something that had been made 20/30 years earlier!

As me Dad would say.......

They don't make em like that anymore...............
Sad news all round, RIP!

Did your friend make the original models or does he make them now? Or both, perhaps?
