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.

Hey, I would like to see the diecast T2, let alone the Lego one.

Last night I built it out of LEGO.

Scale is "microfig car fits in the cargo hold/drop down thingie", and it is
built around an old train template (you know the large plate with the hole to
fit around the old style motor).

Question is: Has anyone else built Thunderbirds vehicles out of Lego, and do
you have pics/lcad drawings?

Pete.C and James were talking T1. I'm not sure how far this got.
I'm sure they'll hop in later and fill you in.

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 was going to
give it a hash, but Boxer's troops needed vehicles (just as well, too) so I
ran out of time (and most probably the appropriate bits).

One day I will give it a go, but by that time someone else would've beaten me
to it (I'm talking when I get back from the UK unless by freak chance I manage
to recreate my Australian collection whilst I'm over there. A thing I'm happy
to do, NLSO pending!!).
