5, 4, 3, 2, 1.... Tracy Island Build is GO!!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Thunderbirds are go! This week sees a new addition to our FAB collection of Thunderbird T-Shirts. This wicked tee, features some our favourite sci-fi puppets, from The Thunderbirds in a cool, beatles-eque album cover design. Inspired by the famous With The Beatles cover, this print features the faces of Brains, Parker, Lady Penelope, and Scott in a cool black and white photographic effect. A perfect addition to your collection of cool t-shirts!!
No collection of retro TV tees would be complete without at least one great Thunderbirds tee, so to celebrate the launch of this new design we thought we'd take you back a time when a shortage of Tracy Islands in the run up to Christmas saw a famous Childrens TV Show show you how to avoid the disappointment of not having a Tracy Island by making your very own.... My guide is made up from a mix of the Perfect Housewife Extrodinare Anthea Turner's Blue Peter show and the very helpful Bluepeter Fact Sheet.
Having heard stories of the build taking weeks if not months, due to collecting all the various bits and bobs, waiting for things to dry etc. Needless to say this isn't a project to take lightly or one that you can do in a week, it takes a lot of patience and determination but would be completely worth it at the end.
Top Geeks of the 80s!
Everyone loves a good geek, whether you can simply marvel at their genius, or smile at their quirky geeky ways they never fail to intrigue and entertain us on the big and small screens.
With the geek clothing scene these days bigger than ever, it seems revealing you inner nerd has never been cooler. Modern day screen heroes are more and more not the all-out amazing lead roles, but increasingly the cooky sidekick that can out gadget and out think any challenge. With some amazing new characters hitting the big time recently such as the new Dr Who, BBC Sherlock series and Q from James Bond played by Ben Whishaw, we thought we would take the time to appreciate the geeks of old with our Top Geeks of the 80s list!
