"Changing to horizontal flight!" How we made a studio-scale replica of Thunderbird 1's pilot chair from "Thunderbirds" (1965). The set piece is currently featured in new Thunderbirds promotional material, and also won Best in Show at the 2022 Toronto Prop Expo! With thanks to our friend Hilton Fitzsimmons for helping us source original parts.
