Jared Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Built for the Chibi Micro Contest, hosted by Simon and The Brother's Brick , with the first place prize being a FAN EXPO CANADA EXCLUSIVE STAR WARS SET that I had to literally fight a hundred other people for to secure it for the contest. ;D Last week my dad lent me some Thunderbirds episodes. Can't stop watching, such a good series! A collaborative build between myself and the amazingly talented Dr. Spock. This build is one of two parts, built for the Fairview LEGO®-Brand retail store in Toronto. It's a micro version of Thunderbird 2's Hangar, with a reference image here. The other part (Spoiler: Thunderbird 1's hangar) can be found here. Inspired by The Brother's Brick Micro Chibi contest and The Thunderbird's 50th Anniversary this year (2015). Logo found here. Keep in mind that the ones below were done before the base, which is why some of them may appear different (were "upgraded") in the photo above. The ones in the photo above are the updated versions. LEGO® Chibi Contest: Chibi Thunderbird 1 Really wish I had some fishing wire so I could've hung it for extra puppet-like effect. I even made a Scott Tracy minifig! Reference images for Thunderbird 1. LEGO® Chibi Contest: Chibi Thunderbird 2 My absolute favourite of all 5 Thunderbirds. Reference image here. Virgil Tracy figure included! Background image here. LEGO® Chibi Contest: Chibi Thunderbird 3 Didn't come out as well as I'd hoped, but hey, Happy New Year! Ow this hangover sucks... Reference images here and here. Includes Alan Tracy minifigure. Background image here. LEGO® Chibi Contest: Chibi Thunderbird 4 Underwater rescue! Reference image here. Gordon Tracy figure included! Background image here. LEGO® Chibi Contest: Chibi Thunderbird 5 I finally found a use for the croissant piece! Reference images here and here! John Tracy Minifigure included! Micro-birds: Pod 3, The Mole What's the Thunderbirds without my favourite rescue vehicle, the Mole? *<i>Thunderbirds</i> and all related names, images, etc. are property of ITV PLC.

Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 That's cool. I did not really know what to expect from the MOC title, but this is cool! (although Thunderbirds are actually "before my time") Nice build and excellent pics! Quote

(although Thunderbirds are actually "before my time") Nice build and excellent pics! No worries, they're waaay before my time too. All the best things usually are.... I was born too late LOL! Thank you for such a lovely comment! I'm kind of sad, I thought this post would be more popular... :( Oh well, guess I'll just have to try harder! Also, here's a picture from the install today: Quote
