MIKE AND THE MECCANO
Long-time customer Mike has not only made a fantastic job of building my Joe 90 and BIG RAT seat kits, but he has also fabricated from Meccano the spinning "RAT TRAP" in which Joe received the brain waves for whichever specialist knowledge he needed for his next World Intelligence Network secret mission.
What a huge and wonderful addition this is to his Joe 90 display!
Mike has also made himself a 5' (1.52m) long Eagle Transporter from Meccano! Mike must have a lot of Space (1999).

IT'S TIME TO SPLIT, MAN...
Andrew, of Hadrian's Hobbies in Cumbria tells me that this is the last ever picture of his superb recreation of The Cass Carnaby Five playing together.
The group members are not just going their own way, they are quite literally splitting up, as their components are to be used to recreate an even more famous puppet popular beat combo.
Watch this space, pop pickers!

GOING UP THE WALL WITH SCOTT
Not only has Guido in The Netherlands built his Superpropreplication Thunderbird 1 Pilot's Seat kit to an extremely high standard, but he has also bolted it to the wall in his own personal "Thunderbirds Museum" so that Scott is in horizontal flight mode!

Talented and resourceful model-maker Guido in The Netherlands has ADAPTED my Thunderbird 2 pilot's seat kit so that it folds from the flat, "Boarding TB2" position into the "Piloting TB2" configuration.
What a BEAUTIFUL job he has made of it too!

WHAT A GAY DAY!
Mark and Amanda in London do love to do something different with their Superpropreplication puppet kits.
This time they have adapted an Angel puppet kit to represent Lieutenant Gay Ellis from the live-action series 'UFO' as if she were a Supermarionation puppet.

ANOTHER FAITHFUL REPLICA
BY MARK AND AMANDA IN LONDON
This time it's Jeff Tracy's faithful manservant, Kyrano.
Superb work by Mark and Amanda using a Superpropreplication puppet body kit.
MIX 'N' MATCH by MARK AND AMANDA IN LONDON
A selection of the wonderful puppet recreations made by the talented husband and wife team using Superpropreplication puppet and prop kits with the addition of three guest characters with head casts sculpted by Lee Allwood.
Superb work as always by Mark and Amanda, and so good to see it beautifully displayed and protected in a glass cabinet.
STAND BY FOR ACTION!
Andrew, the owner of Hadrian's Hobbies in Brampton, Cumbria, has gone the extra nautical mile with his marvellous display of Troy, and Phones with their Stingray Injector Seats, control wheels and even the centre console from Stingray's command deck!
The detail and effort that Andrew has put into this puppet set is truly impressive. Troy looks so cool in those shades!

THE SUN PROBE THREE...
Andrew in Cumbria bought three Sun Probe seat kits from me as well as three Thunderbirds-type male body kits, and obtained custom head sculpts of the Sun Probe crew from talented sculptor Lee Allwood.
These pictures show the awesome result of Andrew's efforts - The Solarnaut crew from the Thunderbirds episode 'Sun Probe'.
I've always loved the colours of the spacesuits in this episode, and Andrew has done a marvellous job of recreating them.
I think this is quite possibly the first time that these characters and their seats have been replicated since the original episode was filmed.

Dave in Wolverhampton has made this fantastic Aquaphibian - one of the bad guys in 'Stingray' - using one of my kits.
Not only has Dave done a fantastic job of building and painting his Aquaphibian, but he has also made this wonderful stand from which to string it. I don't know of anyone else who has done anything like this.
Brilliant work, Dave, I just know that you'll make an equally excellent job of the Titan replica which you have in the works.

100% 90
Peter in Dundee chose one of the most difficult characters to replicate for his first-ever replica puppet build.
Joe 90 is TINY compared to other SUPERMARIONATION PUPPETS at only seventeen inches tall.
Joe was also originally made in the non-caricature realistic human proportions of the final three SUPERMARIONATION series, making him extra hard to get right.
But Peter has done a wonderful job of replicating Joe.
SUPERB work, Peter! Thank you so much for allowing me to share your Joe 90 with everyone here.

EXCELLENT!
Returning kit customer Mick on the Isle of Wight has just finished building this studio-scale replica of Titan and his throne.
Now Mick's previous replica build of Surface Agent X20 has someone to keep him in line.
I love the angle from which Mick took this picture, enhancing Titan's trademark imperious, arrogant look.
I can't help wondering if Mick will ever make a replica of one of the heroes, or if he'll stick to the bad guys. Next up, The Hood?

STEVE ZODIAC MAKES THREE!
Kevin in Staffordshire really has got the Superpropreplication bug. Steve Zodiac is Kevin's third completed build this year, and it is EXCEPTIONAL!
I particularly like how he's accurately recreated Zodiac's quiff. Kevin has managed to capture the character completely with great wigging, an excellent paint job and superb tailoring of the costume.

Kevin in Staffordshire has now completed his second-ever build - a wonderful replica of Brains in his striking red corduroy jacket.
Kevin already has not one, but TWO further replica Supermarionation characters in the works, and I know they are going to be top-notch!

Parker was made by Kevin in Staffordshire using one of my kits.
What is most impressive is that Parker is Kevin's first-ever replica puppet build.
Kevin definitely has a talent for this. I look forward to seeing his next puppet replica build which I know is already in the works.

Mark and Amanda in London have done it again!
These two Supermarionation-type puppet imaginings of Count Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster are truly terrifying!
Both are one-off custom builds using head sculpts by Lee Allwood, body kits by SUPERPROPREPLICATION and a lot of hard work and talent by Mark and Amanda.

Not only has Bill made these wonderful puppet replicas of Stingray characters Commander Shore and Marina, as well as Steve Zodiac and Venus from Fireball XL5, but Bill has also gone to great lengths to reproduce Commander Shore's hoverchair and Steve Zodiac's Jetmobile with which to display his puppets.
I'm full of admiration for anyone with the determination and talent to scratch-build puppet-scale props, so top marks to Bill for these - please keep up the good work Bill!

AN AQUAPHIBIAN IN LETCHWORTH
This superb replica Aquaphibian was built from one of my kits by Martyn in Letchworth Garden City, England. The Aquaphibian kit is a great choice for a first-ever replica Supermarionation puppet build because he requires no clothing, no wigging, and painting him is quite straightforward. Excellent work Martyn! |
"AT EASE, SYMPHONY ANGEL..."
I love to see something new and different done with the puppet kits that I supply. This off-duty Symphony Angel from 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons' by Mark and Amanda in London is a magnificent example of a character in a stunning outfit which is wholly fitting with the series, but very different to her normal garb. GROOVY! |
"EXCELLENT!"...
Is the only possible word to describe THE HOOD in his desert outfit as made by Mark and Amanda in London using a SUPERPROPREPLICATION kit.
Watch out International Rescue, The Hood will soon be trying to steal your secrets again, and this time that snake-in-the-grass is wearing snakeskin boots!
TOGETHER IN PERFECT HARMONY...
Mark and Amanda in London have just finished making Harmony Angel and her seat from the Cloudbase Angel ready room, so that their wonderful Destiny Angel replica is no longer alone.
I'm convinced that Mark and Amanda are going after Carl from Manchester's long-standing record for the highest number of replica SUPERPROPREPLICATION puppets and props completed!

TORCHY THE BATTERY BOY
TORCHY is a highly unusual build by Mark and Amanda in London. No original puppet of this very early character is known to exist, so the head was sculpted and cast in recent times by Lee Allwood, and I customised a body kit to approximate the original puppet. Mark and Amanda have done their usual superb job of building this fantastic replica of the star of the show, along with his unique hat which incorporates Torchy's 'Magic Torch'. I wonder which "lost" puppet star Mark and Amanda will reproduce next. Anyone remember 'Twizzle'...? |

This is the only time I know of when one of my customers has made removable clothing for a replica puppet, and Isabelle has done a really fantastic job of it!
As well as his classic Thunderbirds uniform and "rocket painting civvies" Isabelle's Virgil can sport a checked shirt and jeans or a full dinner suit, with the option of no jacket, loosened collar and tie for the "after the party" look!

These fabulous recreations of the quirky Hillbilly characters were made by Mark and Amanda in London.
The heads were sculpted and cast by the very talented
Lee Allwood, with standard Thunderbirds body kits
supplied by me; Mark and Amanda took care of the rest.
I do love to see different characters being replicated, and this wonderful pair is certainly about as different as they come in Thunderbirds.

INCREDIBLY, this is Glenn's first attempt at making a replica Supermarionation puppet.
There are a lot of fans of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's shows all over the world, and I'm very pleased indeed whenever I have a customer from another part of the globe.
I'm absolutely delighted that this Captain Scarlet kit has made it from England - home of Supermarionation - all the way to Australia, and that it has been so well made by a true fan of the shows.

Andrew, of Hadrian's Hobbies in Cumbria, England has taken his replica puppet-making of classic Thunderbirds characters to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!
Andrew has posed his replicas FREE-STANDING and perfectly balanced without the use of strings, nor of support stands. In addition to that he has photographed them with floor and wall backdrops for added realism.
AMAZING and INNOVATIVE WORK!
Thank you so much for allowing me to share it here, Andrew (That's Andrew's puppet likeness standing there in this picture with Brains and Jeff Tracy).
PARKER'S A WINNER!
Cheque out this replica HALIFAX advert Parker, enjoying his winnings in a beach chair, made with loving attention to detail by Jamie in Scunthorpe.
This highly unusual build even features a "Tat" on Parker's right calf - an autograph by none other than the legendary DAVID GRAHAM, the one and only original voice of Parker.
On no account should this build be ignored; you can bank on Jamie's HALIFAX Parker generating a lot of interest.

Andrew, who owns HADRIAN'S HOBBIES in BRAMPTON, CUMBRIA has made a lovely job of replicating Tin-Tin and her father, Kyrano, as well as posing Tin-Tin in a replica Tracy lounge Chair which he made using one of my laser-cut kits.
Tin-Tin is looking very sultry, and sporting a lovely pair of knee-high boots.
You can see more of Andrew's excellent builds further down this page.
CHILLED OCHRE...
Huge thanks to Isabelle in Canada for this lovely picture of the wonderful Captain Ochre puppet replica she has made using one of my kits.
Captain Ochre looks very relaxed in his Canadian home, although that may change if Isabelle's replica of Colonel White (see him further down this page) catches him chilling on the job!
I happen to know that Isabelle has plans to make a Thunderbirds character next, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing the finished result.

TROY, TROY, AND TROY AGAIN...
Three pictures of the really excellent Troy Tempest, Stingray Control Wheel, and Stingray Injector Seat built by Paul Harrison in Surrey, England.
Paul has displayed his Troy and props against a painted backdrop showing Phones and the interior of Stingray, but I believe that he has plans to build further studio-scale puppets and props for this set.

(Troy's head, Injector Seat and Stingray Control Wheel were all made by Paul using SUPERPROPREPLICATION casts and kits, whilst he scratch-built Troy's body, all of Marina, and the other parts of the display).

Here's another fabulous build by Mark and Amanda in London - Father Stanley Unwin from The Secret Service.
Here's another fabulous build by Mark and Amanda in London - Father Stanley Unwin from The Secret Service.
The original sculpt of the puppet Unwin's head is an amazing piece of work and an incredible likeness to the real Stanley Unwin on which it was based. Mark and Amanda have once again gone the extra mile and made their replica puppet a beautiful pulpit in which he can be posed.
RICHARD, in CAMBRIDGE, is the first person to complete one of my new "MARTIAN ZOMBIE" kits
(from the Thunderbirds episode 'Martian Invasion').
Here's Richard's Martian relaxing with a 3D printer - something that seems like real life science fiction to me!
EXCELLENT work Richard in bringing this quirky and fun character to life! I know you have a lot more builds on the go, and I'm looking forward to sharing them here (with your permission, of course!).
SCOTT TRACY and his TB1 PILOT'S SEAT
by JAMES in LEIGHTON BUZZARD...
This a quite stunning build by James. He scratch-built the studio-scale TB1 Pilot's Seat for his replica Scott (puppet kit from SUPERPROPREPLICATION), making an incredibly impressive display.
The detail and finish of James' work is a joy to behold!
Many thanks for allowing me to share your work here James. I'm already looking forward to seeing pictures of your next build.

BRAMAN, by LEE in LEICESTER...
I'm the first to admit that my Braman kit isn't the easiest of builds; the casts must be very carefully cleaned-up and prepared prior to painting, and the joints made so that they don't show.
Lee has done a superb job of completing this build, including lighting Braman's face-plate with EL foil.
Top quality work from Lee here! I'd love to see this Braman posed seated at a table, playing chess with Brains in a recreation of a scene in the Thunderbirds episode 'Sun Probe'.
Maybe one day...
SEASON'S GREETINGS
From Lady Penelope and Parker.

Jill, from Mid-Wales has made this absolutely outstanding replica of the Angels' Amber Room in which to pose her beautiful replica Destiny, Symphony, Melody, Harmony and Rhapsody Angel puppets.
I'm completely blown away by Jill's set and her puppets, and very grateful indeed that she has allowed me to share her superb work here.

PENNY AND PARKER GET READY FOR HALLOWEEN, 2017... Andrew, who owns HADRIAN'S HOBBIES of BRAMPTON, CUMBRIA has re-dressed his replica Lady Penelope for some Halloween fun! Penny looks well up for Trick or Treating, but Parker doesn't look so sure... You can see Andrew's builds in more traditional Thunderbirds garb further down this page. |
JOINT EFFORT JEFF First-time kit builders Jean-Pierre and Suzanne of Montreal, Canada joined forces to imagine Jeff Tracy getting out from behind his desk and into a Thunderbirds uniform. Jean-Pierre did the build and painting, whilst Suzanne made Jeff's uniform It's always good to see a new take on a familiar character; Jean-Pierre and Suzanne are clearly thinking outside the box. |
BILL IN MILTON KEYNES ...made this lovely replica of Tin-Tin in her Thunderbirds uniform. In the true spirit of Supermarionation, Bill scratch-built Tin-Tin's headset using salvaged components from an old Dictaphone. Excellent work Bill, and thanks for sharing. I'm very much looking forward to seeing pictures of your next project |
THE JAMIE COLLECTION...
Talented Jamie, from Scunthorpe, is one of my longest-standing customers for puppet and prop kits.
Shown here is a selection of Jamie's excellent work, including his brilliant scratch-builds of a Spectrum SPV seat and Troy Tempest's wet-suit and SCUBA gear; beautiful designs which I have never before seen replicated.
Jamie's love for all things Supermarionation is evident in everything that he makes; like me, he is a fan of recreating puppet-scale seats and props with which to display his wonderful replica characters.
Thank you Jamie for allowing me to share your work here; I know that it will inspire others.

BILL, IN MILTON KEYNES, HAS BEEN VERY BUSY...
Bill not only made a great job of building a Steve Zodiac (Fireball XL5) kit which he bought from me, but he also scratch-built a fantastic replica of a puppet-scale Jetmobile on which to display him. I love to see replica puppets supported by puppet-scale props, and to my mind there's no better way to display Steve Zodiac than seated on a Jetmobile; it really captures the look and feel of the original series. Bill has also made this beautiful replica of Marina from Stingray. Like many makers of replica puppets (myself included), Bill admits to finding sewing the costumes a challenge, but he has managed to replicate both Zodiac's and Marina's outfits brilliantly. |
CHRISTMAS IS COMING...
...and Mark and Amanda in London are getting ready with this brilliant replica of Jeff Tracy dressed as Santa, recreating how he looked in a scene from the last-ever episode of Thunderbirds, 'Give or Take a Million'.
I love to see well-known characters replicated in unusual or one-off costumes, and this Santa Jeff is spot-on. Mark and Amanda have even replicated Jeff's sack of gifts, with a miniature Thunderbird 1 poking out of the top.
SUPERB!

Mark and Amanda in London, have made this stunning replica of the Hood and his Throne. Amanda made The Hood's beautiful bejeweled ceremonial outfit, while Mark built the puppet and created the throne by adapting one of my Stingray Injector Seat kits. I love to see work like this - it's incredibly well done, and the puppet-scale throne really shows The Hood off to his best advantage. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Mark and Amanda create next. |
It looks like Andrew - who owns HADRIAN'S HOBBIES in BRAMPTON, CUMBRIA - has found himself a new hobby. Andrew has just completed this lovely Lady Penelope to join the Parker he recently made which is shown further down this page. Andrew really has got the SUPERPROPREPLICATION bug; he has two more replica Thunderbirds puppets in the works and is already talking about adding further characters to his collection This is a "selfie" pic of Penny; Andrew has promised further pictures of her to be taken at a secret location in the near future! |
NEW to this page, but a long-time SUPERPROPREPLICATION kit customer is James from Leighton Buzzard with this magnificent Mysteronised Captain Black build, complete with the gravestone for his human incarnation. I happen to know that James has also very nearly finished a replica Scott Tracy puppet, as well as a scratch-built puppet-scale replica of his Thunderbird 1 pilot's seat; something that will be a first for this Website, and a puppet/prop combination that I'm very much looking forward to seeing completed. Excellent work, James! |
Two more superb builds from Mark in London - Phones from Stingray, and Grandma Tracy from Thunderbirds.
It's wonderful to see a familiar character such as Phones reproduced in such a unique and distinctive costume - a replica of his traditional Scottish attire from a dream sequence in the Stingray episode 'The Loch Ness Monster'. The quality of the work that has gone into making Phones' kilt, sporran, bagpipes and the rest of his outfit is absolutely breathtaking.
Mark has reproduced Grandma in her outfit from 'Move and You're Dead'; her rocking chair is a great way to pose her. As I'm currently unable to supply casts of Grandma's head, Mark sourced that elsewhere and adapted one of my standard Thunderbirds female bodies to complete her.
Mark - and if I'm not mistaken his wife too - has definitely got the SUPERPROPREPLICATION bug, and is a rising CUSTOMERBUILDS star. I know we're going to be hearing a lot more from Mark soon...

Mark in London has done it again! Here's his gorgeous replica of Tin-Tin wearing a copy of the ski suit that she wore in the Thunderbirds episode 'The Cham-Cham'. I have never before seen this outfit replicated; it's a superb choice of clothing for Tin-tin and Mark has made a lovely job of it. Further down this page you can see Mark's Destiny Angel from Captain Scarlet with her Interceptor Ejector Seat and also his Troy Tempest in his Stingray Injector Seat , all made using SUPERPROPREPLICATION kits. |
After completing Troy Tempest and his Injector Seat from Stingray (see below), Mark in London has moved on to the later series Captain Scarlet, and has just finished making this beautiful Destiny Angel with her Interceptor Ejector Seat using SUPERPROPREPLICATION kits.
Brilliant work Mark, thanks again for sharing. I know you are already planning your next project; I look forward to adding it to this page when you have finished the build.

Not many Superpropreplication customers have made a replica Colonel White puppet, but Isabelle in Canada has, and she's made a lovely job of him too! I particularly like the picture of him sitting on the windowsill with a beautiful snowy Canadian landscape in the background. Great work Isabelle; I'm looking forward to seeing your next completed project, and maybe some more of your beautiful Canadian countryside as well. |
Mark, in London has made himself this fantastic Troy Tempest and his Injector Seat from STINGRAY using kits supplied by SUPERPROPREPLICATION.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of Mark's puppet and prop recreations - I know he already has another project in the works.
Brilliant work Mark! Thanks for sharing.

Andrew, in Cumbria, England has made this Parker; his first-ever replica Supermarionation puppet.
Not only has Andrew made a brilliant job of building Parker, but he has also photographed him in a pub with a glass of beer in his hand. This picture made me genuinely LOL. BRILLIANT WORK, Andrew, I'm already looking forward to seeing pictures of your next puppet project. This Parker is now on permanent display at Andrew's business: HADRIAN'S HOBBIES BRAMPTON CUMBRIA ENGLAND |
Mike, from The Wirrall has recently added to his collection by building these superb Captain Scarlet and Cloudbase Seat replicas using kits which he bought from me.
Mike has also made a fantastic Scott Tracy head display using one of my early generation head casts.
Many people have concerns about whether they can cope with making replica puppets from kits - particularly with regards to wigging and making the costumes. I would never claim it's easy, but Mike and the other clients featured on this page prove that it can be done with a bit of determination and effort.
Scroll further down the page to see Mike's very impressive Aquaphibian build.

Mal in Somerset has been inventive and creative with his first Thunderbirds puppet replicas.
Mal bought a Scott kit from me and a Parker head; he painted in Scott's eyes, and fitted Parker's head to an artist's mannequin body before replicating Parker's chauffeur' outfit. Mal's work shows that you can make really nice replicas without having to go the whole hog if you don't want to. Many thanks for sharing Mal! |
Mark, from London, has made this fantastic replica Parker in his chauffeur's uniform using one of my kits. I now supply Parker with basic patterns to make either this uniform and cap, or his butler's outfit.
Keep up the good work Mark, you're off to a flying start!

SEPTEMBER 2016 UPDATE
Mark has made this beautiful Lady Penelope replica to display with Parker, and hopefully keep him in check.

This beautiful Aquaphibian was made from one of my kits by Mike from The Wirrall.
Mike had never made a replica puppet before, so he decided to start with an Aquaphibian to learn the basic jointing and painting techniques before moving on to wigged, clothed puppets.
Mike has made a superb replica Aquaphibian; he's clearly a natural at this.

Here's a great first-ever build that was a joint effort by Neil, Paul, Brenda and Louise from Hull. The Scott kit was bought as a Christmas present by Louise for her boyfriend.
Louise says " It was hard work, but very enjoyable and definitely worth the effort."
I would never claim that making replica Supermarionation puppets is easy, but I can say that it does get a little bit easier with every new one that you make.
I know that Louise, Neil, Paul and Brenda are already thinking about which character to build next. I think they have the bug. :-)

Carl in Manchester is a SUPERPROPREPLICATION STAR!
You will find Carl's work extensively represented on this page, as he is undoubtedly my biggest single customer for kits. Here's Carl's latest recreation - the sinister and inept Surface Agent X-20 from Stingray, which Carl completed in April 2016 BEAUTIFUL work as always Carl; many thanks for sharing! |
Bill in Milton Keynes bought one of my Parker kits, never having made anything like this before. He has produced this wonderful replica Parker puppet with his kit by following my 7 page puppet-building guidelines (supplied free by email with every kit).
Bill has given his replica Supermarionation puppet a lovely individual touch by placing a puppet-scale newspaper in Parker's hand.
Having previously collected 12" figures, Bill now tells me that he has the bug for making studio-scale puppet replicas. Looking forward to seeing more of your work Bill. Enjoy your new hobby!
UPDATE - April 2016, and Bill has made Lady Penelope to keep Parker in check. As with Parker, Bill has made beautiful puppet-scale accessories for Penny in the form of a handbag and hat.
Great work Bill - keep it up!

Mark in Wales made these fantastic replicas of Captain Black and Captain Scarlet using kits which he bought from me.
I love the way that Mark has made customised stands for his replica puppets.
Beautiful work Mark - many thanks for sharing your pictures.
James in Australia kindly shared these pictures of his excellent puppet builds.
Anyone who, like James, doesn't feel ready yet to tackle wigging a puppet with mohair can take heart from his lovely Mike Mercury and Steve Zodiac replicas which James wigged using modelling clay and then painted to great effect.
Scott in the USA made this wonderful replica of his namesake in Thunderbirds using one of my kits.
I know that Scott has other replica puppet projects in the pipeline and I look forward to showing his work here. Outstanding work Scott! Thank you for sharing your pictures with us.

Joe, from Leeds, has made a superb job of his first puppet builds - just look at his Captain Scarlet and Parker replicas, both built from kits supplied by me. Joe's workmanship is seriously impressive.
Jill, from Mid-Wales is the first of my customers that I know of to have made Symphony, Melody, Harmony and - using a customised Destiny head - the elusive Rhapsody Angel from kits that I supplied. Jill has even made working flashing epaulettes for her replicas.
Absolutely wonderful work Jill, thank you so much for sharing these great pictures.
Absolutely wonderful work Jill, thank you so much for sharing these great pictures.
A really nice individual touch is how Jill has recreated an early publicity photo of Rhapsody Angel wearing Captain Scarlet's cap. LOVE IT!
William, in New Zealand, has now made Parker to accompany his Lady Penelope build from earlier this year.
William has dressed Parker in copies of the scarf and raincoat that he wore when "visiting" Monte Carlo in the episode
'The Man From MI.5'
Superb work William - thank you for sharing.

William, in New Zealand, bought a Lady Penelope puppet kit from me in March of 2015, and has turned it into this wonderful finished replica in just a few weeks.
Fantastic work William, thank you so much for allowing me to share pictures of your Lady P on her custom base with name plaque. The addition of an original Gerry Anderson signature to the base is a lovely touch.
