Thunderbirds T2 Mag clamps for end of the road diorama
Posted by armyrn on Saturday, May 9, 2009 7:21 AM

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can help me out, I would like to build the scene from the "end of the road" where thunderbird 2 has to use it clamps to pickup the tractor loaded with explosives from the edge of the cliff.  I have all the pieces Thunderbird 1 and 2 and the transmitter truck to be convert into the tractor that needs to be rescued.  My problem is I can't find the clamps they appear easy enough to build but I am only guessing on the size, if anyone has information or a set of them laying around in their spares box.  I would be most thankful, because this diorama is a gift for my sons, who are now hooked on this classic program.

My email is armyrn62@hotmail.com  thanks again

I'm afraid you'll have to build your own; none of the TB2 kits have ever come with that particular item. My advice is: get hold of the best screengrabs you can - some of the scenes just before the tractor is dropped are particularly useful. Then, you're going to have to draw up some plans, scaled to the tractor, and build the grab from that,

Sorry it's not better news

Since TB1 and TB2 were issued in various "scaled" kits, which one are you using? If you can tell me what length the kit is, I may be able to make the magnetic clamps in question.
