The pics are on my site, www.geocities.com/jehowse thunder1 2 and 3.jpg I
think. These are POVRay renderings of an incomplete TB1 model I LDrew • earlier
this year. It's incomplete because it really needs building solutions, • answers
to building problems that are a function of what peices one has in what
colours.

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).

There are some nice Thunderbirds images at:

Click to see an enlarged version of each image.

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. At that scale though • getting
the curves and so on right would be easy, it's just a matter of finding that
much green. Perhaps a special order to Lego (Denmark not Aust) would be in
order, or I could just LDraw it with no intention of building it.

There's about ten or so in a 6088 Ninja hideaway.
Hate to think how many of these you would need though.
