Fireflash!

 A little video about the Aoshima 1/350th scale model of Fireflash, the iconic atomic-powered airliner as featured in the opening episode of Thunderbirds.

Thanks for the comments on the last video; more of the same here except I've moved the camera a wee bit closer. It's all very amateur hour but it's just to get a feel for how I like the medium. The colour cast is a bit weird; either I messed with the camera settings by mistake or it's to do with moving the camera a bit closer. At least I'm not orange.


As before, let me know what you think, and as ever, I'm appreciative of any donations for my Cancer Research Wales charity half-marathon.

  1. Hello Al. Again, this was a fun video. As you stated, not sure what happened with the colors. I appreciated all the background to the show, as I am only have limited familiarity with it. Keep these coming.

  2. Hi, if your walls are white, then what you've got happening here is colour cast.

    If you have a white balance control on you camera, then you can tell it what is white by pointing it at the white wall and using the colour balance control.

    Hope that helps? And, as another Anderson fan, loved this.

  3. No, the walls are green. I may have touched the white balance control by mistake, but we'll see the next time I make a vid.
