Random notes:

Yep, started to sketch out TB 5 as well now. Probably going to have more traditional rectangular solar panels than the parasole thingy they had in the film, to evoke the two antenna the original had sticking out the top.

TB 3 progresses. Still hard to think what to add vis updating...but it now has functioning cargo-bay doors, which will reveal a rescue arm as well as the airlock.

Pods! All six of them, in fact, although only the first four can really count as finished. Each is going to have a collection of associated vehicles: 1 will be general rescue (the firetruck, the crane, the thunderizer/laser/booster), 2 will be heavy rescue (the Mole, the Firefly, the Domo), 3, specialist resuce (the elevator cars, the neutraliser ray, the monobrake), 4 = well, Thunderbird 4; 5 is heavy lifting gear and 6 is going to be Thunderbird 6 (again, fairly obvious), which I plan to make a sort of hi-tech biplane in honour of the original Tiger Moth.

Of course, only Thunderbird 4 is finished of those, though I have started on the Mole (yeah, I know real drilling machines look nothing like that but I don't think they look anywhere near as cool).

Recomendations for extra pod vehicles welcome!

And blame Gerry Anderson for the ideas.
