Indeed it does. That's what I thought when I first saw it. Of course I was thinking about this. Don't know how many hours of my life was spent playing this game along with some friends of mine during the early 90's. Here's another pic a little less like what you suggested, but still awesome...

Very clever design!:) Love how he is able to get all the hole punches equilateral with one punch! The camera mount was well done as well. Thanks for sharing Z!

As would I.:) Maybe that process could be started with top down and side views and a scale comparison with known models from the series. Just an idea. Anybody up for the challenge? Perhaps this merits a new thread for the Shadow?

Thanks Chuffy! My friend really enjoyed the gift. For whatever reason a gift of a model means something to people in a way such that it brings out the inner child. Don't know why. Regardless it IS enjoyed. Thanks again for stopping by. :)

Thanks for the compliments Spaceagent. :wave: Always appreciate your work as well.:)

That would be Thunderbird 2. Cybergrinder did the best work on this model so far. https://www.zealotmodels.com/threads/thunderbirds-are-go-er-well-sort-of.180112/page-6#post-1068660 He made a version that had a miniature Thunderbird 4 coming out of the pod with an extending ramp. Pretty...

Oh yeaaaaah!:animated: This one is sooooo calling your name....:biggrin:

Can we make nominations for Model of the Month? I think this one is a GREAT contender.

:surprise::surprise::surprise::surprise::surprise: Wow!! Even the close ups look awesome! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: Again AMAZING job!:BRAVO::BRAVO::BRAVO::BRAVO: I'm sure Lord Vader wants to do a "test" fly on a few Rebels.;) :CHEERS:

Wow! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::surprise::surprise::surprise::surprise: It looks just like it does in Tie Fighter the game and Rebels in fact - even better VERY VERY awesome job!!:BRAVO::BRAVO::BRAVO::BRAVO:

Thanks MiJob! :) Not sure what the next projects are. Maybe I'll complete the entire series of Thunderbirds 1-5. I do have all of the templates. Who knows. Just finished Seasons 1-5 of Babylon 5 for the Fourth time. Thinking about some models there. Of course there is the new...

Final pics Finally at the end of this particular journey. Here's the final pics. Enjoy! Gave the Thunderbird 3 to my friend yesterday. He really enjoyed it.:) It did bring back some good childhood memories. On a side note I started this project during lent. What I gave up was...

Yep. Took me longer than I thought it would. My friend who I gave it to really liked it as well. Thanks for your kind comments.:)

WOW!!! :surprise::surprise::surprise::surprise:I concur with Z on this one. A tutorial on this would be great! Those tires look like they are made of rubber. Excellent job!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

What happens if you do touch ups I was doing some touch ups on the model in some areas with the silver marker. In the process this happened - What happened was that the marker leached out more marking material and it oozed over on top of the model.:headbange::headbange::headbange: Now do we...

Strut assembly on the pad Tabs Tabs are folded in place on the struts and glued. While the glue is setting hold the tabs in place and fold down the ends (see below). Struts with tabs. Struts glued on the landing pad. At this point I realized I created two trusses that needed reinforcement...

Landing pad This is a landing pad found on the Genet site https://www.genetmodels.com/freestuff.php Note the edge coloring to keep it black on the edges to remove glare on lining up the top and bottom portions. Top and bottom landing pad portions glued together. The hard part about this is...

OK finally here we go with the struts. Struts - first pre-fit the struts and check for alignment issues As you can see we have a MINOR issue here. The upper wings and lower rocket pods are out of alignment just a bit even when you assemble everything on the seams. Recommend in future builds...

Good luck Rhaven and safe travels!:)
