Victorian Thunderbird, marvellous!

What about a similar colour scheme to the Coulport?

So that's 4, the little yellow sub, right?

Will you be building the honking great green transporter too?

Looking good anyway, very cool idea.

Surely crying out to be painted in verdigris.

Taking the idea to a logical (

) conclusion, you could build all the Thunderbird craft along with Tracey Island in a VSF version.
No pressure, you still have 7 weeks.

Gah, see now I have an image of a Tracy Island build using the original Crystal Palace and Alton Towers as inspiration for the building with a proper High Victorian garden system.............. thankfully not possible in my current house

Ah well, I see it more as a Steel Foundry/Mill upt'North with a steam powered opening roof and rocket housing chimney etc etc. - Geoff Tracy more of a Geoff Arkwright kind of thing?

Bit more done but I have had to stop with rivet blindness (good luck AirCav Keith as I think you have a lot more than me to do)

I'm not going to use the word 'Cute' but it rather sweet

Coing together nicly there Svennn, are there going to be a little row of portholes on the side.

You have to make a Tbird 2 now

Nice one! How did you do the ornaments? Please don't tell me you cut them out of polystyrene sheet.

I cut them out of plasticard sheet - honest.

BUT I used a paper punch designed for crafting/card making.

I have a Mole waiting in the wings

I found this and thought it might help/hinder you.

Am I going to be disappointing you lot when I don't build a "2"?

Thanks for that OL. I have actually got copies of the original plans of nearly all the Anderson craft - comes from being a long standing member of Fanderson and being perhaps just a little bit too much of an anorak

I have to keep telling myself is there any point building a craft that fills the table and doesn't even have any weapons?

??

Very nice

And Cute

Being a fanderson you will probably know better than me but did the original not have torpedoes

I think I have finished the build bit? Can't wait to see it with a spray undercoat now TBH but must admit I am not relishing painting it. Quite fancy airbrushing it but the biggest problem with that is I do not have an airbrush

Anyways, what you reckon?
