Description
Pears Motor Works proudly present the International Rescue Thunderbird 2 POD2. This POD is able to carry the Mole HV and docks with the Thunderbird 2 SV. Made for the Xcaliber October Designers Replica Challenge.
This CV is part of a MODULAR BUILD. PMW was asked to take the vessels from International Rescue to the 26th century, whilst still keeping their original style.
The Thunderbird 2 is capable to dock on this CV cargo POD that also can hold a miner HV; the Mole (linked below). The POD can act as a interstellar warp vessel and functions as a mobile base when landed.

The Thunderbird 2 (linked below) can function as POI attack vessel; activate the shield, enter the combat cockpit and snipe the turrets off with the railguns, clear some ground troops with the lasers.. and plasma cannons are also added for good measure. But.. the main attraction: it also can hold a big load of cargo and has a heavy lift mode for extra thrust available.
Thunderbird 4 will be coming soon too, and will fit in POD2 together with the mole and current setup of the POD.

POD2 houses:
- Space for the Mole HV
- 2 Cargo Systems (160.500 and 128.500 units)
- Warp
- Advanced constructor
- Fridge
- Food Processor
- Shower
- WIFI
- O2 station
- Spotlight

Park the Mole in the CV POD before docking the Thunderbird 2 on top! The Mole only fits like shown on these pictures. Park the CV POD as level as possible, or take her of the ground a bit and press O to level her. Hop out the cockpit and close the ramps and shutter doors (lever). Now you can get in the Thunderbird 2 and land it on top of the CV POD. When the roof is flush with the CV POD roof you can fly a bit backward to dock. Turn off the Power of the Thunderbird 2 and hop back into the CV POD to begin your intergalactic rescue mission!

This showcases the build and how to dock it. Easy Peasy.
The builds have been slightly tweaked since, to become alpha 11 compliant.
(and added a bit more fluff and LCDs ;) )

join in on the fun, no contests, just exchange of ideas and see how people interpret these challenges.

for Xcaliber's November Challenge (CPU T2 build with upgrade options) I did FAB1, the pink limo of Lady Penelope.
Slowly but surely I will make the whole Thunderbirds series vehicles for Empyrion, and contemplating on Tracy Island base.. which might become a bit too large. Will see. Throw in a follow if you want to keep up to date with this series.

so I take it the CV thrusters don't get blocked when the SV is docked onto it?
