Cybergrinder submitted a new resource: Thunderbird 2 & 4 - Thunderbirds are go! Well, some of them... Read more about this resource...

So, off we go again, USS Voyager NCC74656, for the 4th time.... And this time, shrunk.... To give you and idea, here's the print for this build and the previous edition for comparison. Oh, yes, and I'm going to light it up

Sadly no

Thanks Skyseeker :) TB2 and 4 are my favourites. TB4 was built purely with tweezers... TB1 & 3 are Hiro's, TB 5 is G Pilsworth, TB2 (and related) are from ijoy. PM and I'll share them :)

Thanks Skyseeker. Life got a bit crazy, but getting back to normal now. I've updated my thread, most of the build picks lost though :(

Sadly build pics lost, but here's the squad.. 5 4 3 2 1 Thunderbirds are go!!

I built Thunderbirds 1-5, plus some of the pod vehicles. Sadly the pictures have been lost (with the tapatalk debacle). I'll take some new ones and update my build thread :) https://www.zealot.com/threads/thunderbirds-are-go-er-well-sort-of.180112/page-6

Dan! You're back! :)

All the best @zathros in my thoughts
