Why is it that you're already finished when I'm not even done with the basic shape?

Great work, like the windows, and the ornaments come out great!

Zafarelli, Svennn simply is fast while you are slow...  :D
(Ducks and feels guilty because of not being able to enter this great competition himself.)

Wow. What I like most are the green windows and the ornaments. The gold came out nicely and gives a great victorian feel to it. Wish I could see it in person next weekend.
I am not too fond of the nose because we seem to use the same brand of superglue and I instantly recognized the shape of it, but that's just me.
(Ducks again)

Great entry, you should be getting an extra award for being that fast in all that neatness!

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

Will you be building the honking great green transporter too?  :o

Looking good anyway, very cool idea.  :)




I think Thunderbird 2 would look great as a zepplin, with different cargo crates for each of the mini 'birds, would really suit the theme. Like this alot.

Lovely paint job. :-* :-*
Really like the effect you have achieved on the metal. :-* :-*
Love the lettering and numbering, are they all decals?

Now for the bad bit :'(
But I am afraid I have to agree with Vikotnik I am not keen on the nose. I not sure the shape fits the rest of the body.

By Jove, it´s lovely.  :'(

I actually like the nose´ shape (see above), but the red paint puts me off a bit. Maybe keep it brass like the rest, or steel/silver to represent Isambard Kingdom Brunel´s Minuscule Submersible Hull Penetration Apparatus (patent pending).
