Based on the 1960's TV series (and just in time for the July 30 release of the movie), here is the Thunderbird 1 rescue vehicle. This figure includes "swing wings" and landing gear which can be hidden.
Modelling by me, textures by mrsparky.

Not to worry, T2 is coming soon... The modelling is done, all it needs is the good texture. And, yes, the center container is a separate figure and includes an opening door. But, I've said too much. :) As a side note... I will be going out of town this weekend. If the texture is done tomorrow, I'll upload T2 tomorrow evening. If the texture isn't done, everyone will have to wait until Sunday. >evil laugh< And, also not to worry- all of these models are based on the TV versions, not the "streamlined" movie versions. Though, if people want the movie versions, it would be very easy for me to modify the models. The attached link is to the Fanderson website (Official Gerry Anderson Fan Club)'s page about the new movie. --John

Please DON`T make a poser version of the new lady penelope car, it is a mess. The SPV out of captain scarlet would be nice though, and the car.
