MODEL COMPETITIONS

To celebrate sixty years of Thunderbirds and fifty years of Space:1999 we thought it would be fun to have a Gerry Anderson themed competition.

Competition Update!

The competition will now have three categories;

1. A standard build of a commercially available kit, such as MPC, AiP or a purchased 3-D file
2. A completely scratch built model of a Gerry Anderson vehicle (or inspired by). This can be from any of the series but must be a model made from foam, balsa, plastic card or whatever you have to hand!
3. A diorama with either of the above in there somewhere!

The Anderson Team will be promoting this from their side and will be asking for progress images of the model as its being put together. These will be posted on their website for the world to see!

There will be prizes for first and second place supplied by the Anderson Team in each category who will also be judging the competition - details to follow. Full terms and conditions will shortly be available at  www.gerryanderson.com 

If you'd like to be part of this competition, please email info@space-crafts.co.uk by the 9th of January 2026. 

There will be special consideration made for younger entrants for any junior modellers out there!

For those with already completed Gerry Anderson models they can still be considered for the best in show award which has a great trophy.

Any questions please let us know and good luck! 

For anyone not bringing a Thunderbird 6 there will also be a best in show in award! 

This is open to all exhibitors and the winner will receive a great trophy previously seen at the IPMS Telford show in 2024. 

This award is sponsored by Tyrell Models who will be judging all the exhibits.

Good luck!
