Description
"The wheels! They've collapsed!"Watch this space for an upcoming time-lapse video!
Remember that episode when the World Navy broke Thunderbird 2? Terror in New York City is easily my favourite Thunderbirds episode, mainly because it really shakes up the formula, it gives us a rescue which normally would be quite straight forward, except in this case, the World Navy ship "Sentinel" Β picked up TB2 on their radar, couldn't figure out what it was so they decided to blow it up, gits...
The resolution is pretty cool and the final rescue is pretty tense, the episode is also full of iconic imagery, The Empire State building collapsing and of course Thunderbird 2 crashing.
I felt it would be nice to come full circle for my 200th deviation and do an image of Thunderbird 2 again. Funnily enough, as I have been working quite a bit with the new Thunderbirds, it took a while getting used to working on the older 'birds again as in many ways the designs are pretty similar.
I have been following the fan reactions as more of the new series is being revealed and unfortunately the Facebook group I manage is once again devolving into the same arguments as always. My advice, it is different in many ways, but different doesn't = bad. Expect it, go in with an open mind and you might be pleasantly surprised.
Also welcome to my new flat / Studio!

Terror in New York City has always been one of my favourites (had it on VHS when I was little so I just watched it over and over).
Always great to see the old Thunderbirds again (I'm looking forward to the new series, though), and this is great- very dynamic

I watched the entire series recently on DVD, and this is most definitely one of the best episodes, but I'm pretty sure Sentinel did not view Thunderbird 2 as a giant missile, just an enemy aircraft that they didn't recognize, which would obviously be because International Rescue does not like photos of their craft being photographed for security reasons.
Tell that to Ed Cook . . . . THE MUPPET !!.

Well a thing, "Too big for an aircraft and too small for a missile" if I remember.
