  2. Puppeteer Classic Thunderbirds Marionettes with Gazelle Studios

    Time 3-7pm

    Step behind the strings of a Supermarionation-style puppet, the same puppetry technique that made the classic 1960s series famous. These replicas were built by Gazelle Studios for Thunderbirds: The Anniversary Episodes, official new episodes made with the blessings of original Thunderbirds co-creator Sylvia Anderson and the Gerry Anderson Estate. Alongside them is a screen-used Johnny Five prop from Short Circuit, marking the film’s 40th anniversary this year.
