Hi All, Sounds like I missed a good day out at Pete's on the weekend. Anyway. One of my sons unearthed my old (I mean OLD) Thunderbird 2 die cast the other day. Last night I built it out of LEGO. Scale is "microfig car fits in the cargo hold/drop (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au.nsw.syd)

(...) We got as far as James e-mailing me his ldraw pics of the stages. It is an impressive vehicle he has modelled, and minifig scale too!!

I think colour would be a big problem with Thunderbird 2, as it was green (at least on my TV) and I don't see a lot of green Lego slopes (at least not in the sets I have).

(...) Thanks for the link! According to a backofanenvelope calulation I did the other day a TB2 at minfig scale would be 1.7m long, 1.3m wide and 0.5m high.
