December's Theme: British Sci-fi Invasion

 

British Sci-fi Invasion

It has been decided that December’s open spot in the calendar will be something a little different – British Sci-fi.  The original topic brought to the Group was the world of Gerry Anderson.  Anderson was an English television and film producer, director, writer and occasional voice artist, who is known for his futuristic television programs, especially his 1960s productions filmed with "Supermarionation" (marionette puppets containing electric moving parts). He’s responsible for movies, and shows like Supercar, Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, the Mysterons, UFO, Space:1999, and Joe 90. Then the idea was agreed to make it all of British Sci-fi. This would allow additional subjects like Dr. Who, Red Dwarf, The Quatermass Experiment, and Blake's 7. There are still many kits from these shows available today... maybe even in your stash. Find it and start building.
