PMW-HV-Thunderbird Mole (lvl 10 CPU T2 miner)

Pears Motor Works proudly present the International Rescue Thunderbird Mole. The Thunderbird 2 is able to carry the Mole HV and docks with the Thunderbird 2 PODs. Made for the Xcaliber October Designers Replica Challenge.
This HV 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 Mole is a state of the art rescue vehicle. It will rescue all the buried ores and get them to the surface! The POD can act as a interstellar warp vessel and functions as a mobile base when landed.
The mole has a big drill for show, she is a fully functioning mining HV, in the screenshots the smaller drills are retracted.

The Thunderbird 2 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.
The CV POD2 is a garage for the Mole HV and lets you discover other galaxies and provides a mobile base of operations.


-1 big drill
-4 small drills (upgradable to mining lasers)
- Constructor
- Fridge
- WIFI
- Health Station
- O2 station
- Armour locker
- Spotlight
- Clone chamber
- Ore detector
- Ore storage 8109 units
- Drill mode
- Heavy lift mode (activates all HV engines)
- Plenty of thrust in all directions

All features, fuel and O2 tanks, and also the cockpit, are reachable from the back of the vessel. It might be a bit fiddly at times.

Park the CV POD as level as possible. Park the Mole in the CV POD as shown in this picture, it doesnt fit the other way round! In the POD: close the ramps (lever). Hop 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 in 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.
Slowely but surely I will make the whole Thunderbirds series vehicles for Empyrion, and contemplating on Tracy Island base.. wich might become a bit too large. Will see. Throw in a follow if you want to keep up to date with this series.
