The Thunderbirds 1965 project on Kickstarter is doing very well. It has passed it's initial goal, met its second stretch task goal and now is within sight of the final goal. As you may know, the project is to film the visuals for the sound-only record EPs which were released in 1965. The first goal was to produce visuals for "The Abominable Snowman", the second is for "Introducing Thunderbirds" and the third and final goal is for "The Stately Homes Robberies".

Stephen La Riviere, the man behind the book/documentary "Filmed in Supermarionation" wants to create the visuals using the exact same techniques and sets as the original show. Its like getting 3 brand new episodes of classic Thunderbirds. Some original items are going to be used, this includes some puppets. The sets and most of the models will be lovingly recreated for the production. 

There are some very good awards for people who fund the project, which of course includes a DVD or BluRay of the finished productions. 

They are so close to meeting their goals, but only 3 days remain. If you can help in any way, I'm sure they will appreciate it, and you will feel good too. The second episode will be directed by none other than David Elliott, who directed some of the original episodes, so you know they are going to a totally authentic look.
