Here the wheels and tracks can be seen ready to fit to the finished model. The tracks and wheels, as with most other Thunderbird ground vehicles, come from the "Vickers Vigor Tractor" toy. I was unable to obtain one of these (they truly are like gold dust!) so I built a master of each part which my friend Keith Scaife moulded & assembled.

These show the model finished on the workbench. I have weathered the model with soot and dry brushing on silver and grey paint. The model has then been given a coat of matt clear lacquer to match the original model.
