The model scenery and effects I (still) think are really amazing!

Fun fact: the “Supermarionation” term referred to the electromechanical
system for triggering movements of the puppets’ mouths from the audio
track. Previously the puppeteers had to make these movements manually.

The reason why the heads were so big relative to the body in
“Thunderbirds” was because the mechanism for this was in the head. In the
later “Captain Scarlet”, they put most of the mechanism in the torso. This
allowed the head-body proportions to be closer to human-normal.
