    The Mole (mini) Build

    Hi for some reason this didn't uploadup, a bit late I know.


    Parts



    The Mole
    A high-speed, manned 30 ton tunnelling machine capable of boring through even the hardest rock to rescue individuals trapped underground Due to an inbuilt thermal-imaging system in its drill bit, the Mole can be operated with acute precision to ensure that buried individuals are not endangered from rockfalls caused by drill movement despite the fact that the drill screw rotates in the wrong direction. The Mole is carried to rescue sites on its trolley, then tilts to commence drilling. Caterpillar tracks on both sides enable it to return to the surface. The vehicle is often carried in Pod 5, and is notable for being one of the few pod vehicles to appear in multiple episodes; it also appears in the closing credit sequence with the five main Thunderbirds machines and FAB1.

    The outer drill casing had a very bad seam line so removed it and will have to repaint it.
    Added the six booster jets holes to the main jet shield, which has to be painted.
    Drilled two missing hole in the frront of the tractor uint to represent the wide angle tv camera & the demolition rocket laucher (seen in pic below).
    Added side & rear warning lights.
