Nice Things Come In Small Boxes!

Well this was a nice surprise! As my fam knew I was a Thunderbirds fanatic, one of them thought it was a great idea to buy me a 1/72 plastic scale of The Mole, one of the pods released by Thunderbird 2 on a few occasions.

Look forward to the build 😉😀

[Phil]

I will do Chris. 

Cheers 🍻

Thanks notsram, yes I was a huge fan in my younger days, well grew up on Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet and likes of Joe 90, but even when I reached my late teens, I was watching likes of these programs still and then of course that how I came to love Transformers, Thundercats, etc.

So basically I'm a bit like Peter Pan, like a boy who never grew up 😆 of course in reality I did!

But listen, we are all children at heart ❤️ and I really think it's a lovely way to be.

But not even I can stop the sands of time flowing away from me.😱🤥 Reality Stinks.

Keep young guys! 😹😜

Thank you Mark The Master Modeller. As I explained earlier here, I love Sci-fi too, hence my love of Optimus lol 😂 and nice you guys showing an interest, and I will show you all updates as I go along with the model, can't promise when it'll be, but it will happen for sure. 🙂🤞🙏

Just a little update on  The Mole, I have started, will post a few pics of where I'm at.

If anyone wishes to know the paint I'm using for the caterpillar track, it is AK True Metal, a waxed based paint which is quite expensive, but it does go far, so at a work out it's good value. I love it for it's smooth application and you can even polish afterwards if you wish, but I will be dirtying up the mole, so not much point 😂 Track  is complete, just started on main body.
