Wooden Toys.

My inspiration came from Thunderbirds. Dad was my greatest inspiration and he made me these wooden toys when I was young. They went on many missions around the backyard. These simple toys were to be a life long inspiration for me as a model maker.

When I had a chance, I thought that I would also make wooden toys for a friends son hoping they would inspire. So keeping to what was done for me, I started to make Thunderbirds inspired wooden toys so the young lad could play with them in the backyard.

These were a great deal of fun to do and the young lad has grown into a creative person. I hope I had something to do with that. To be real though, being the son of the creators of Weta Workshop probably had a greater influence on him.
