Thunderbirds are GO!!!

[casperofthehobb]

Hi all, I don't know if it's possible, but I think it would be pretty cool if there where a cargo-plane that looks exactly like Thunderbird 2 (you know, the green one)

I tried to make a quick scetch of this plane, found below. if anyone has interests in graphically making and coding this?
my pic though is only 1 view, many more are to come...


in the image, you'll see some dark-blue, this is where I think the company colors could be integrated.

if it is possible to make this, I hope there aren't any rights offended or something
have fun!!

ok, I enhanced the graphics of my first pic a bit, adjusted it to real OTTD colors, but I have no idea if the size is correct or anything...

please comment?

Maybe you could explain what that "Thunderbird 2" is all about?

Because contrary to

Thunderbird 2 (you know, the green one)

, I do not know. And I suspect that there are a few more people who do not know.

the thunderbirds was a series on tv in the old days. it was an international rescue team, having most advanced technologies, etc...
link to website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbirds_(TV_series)

the plane I mean: http://www.cultprints.com/images/main-thunderbird-2.jpg

it's a big carrier and has a special compartment in which he can transport tings (in the series mainly other vehicles from the rescue team)
here's how to visualize it: http://cache.wists.com/thumbnails/2/6a/ ... 15254-orig


here are some more thunderbirds vehicles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbirds_machines
hope you understand it now a bit better...

Yet another newbie with that false palette. I really wonder where they´re all coming from.

coming from purno's drawing tutorial

his examples still contain these colors

Well, after much citicism, he promised to correct this bug eventually.

Seems he didn´t do it.

I´d really wish that "tutorial" would vanish from the net until it contains all correct and valuable information.

This is unthinkable! Profanity! Youngsters are not properly taught history in schools nowadays.

Seconded! Everyone who hasn't ever seen Thunderbirds has had an aweful youth.

Everyone who hasn't ever seen Thunderbirds has had an aweful youth.

That fully depends on when one was young. Maybe one is still young, and in that case I can't really blame 'em for not knowing Thunderbirds. The series is over 40 years old already.

[casperofthehobb]

maybe you can say, that anyone over 20 (the show has been on in the nineties) and doesn't know the thunderbirds is commiting blasphemy?

anyway, anyone interested on making Thunderbird 2?
I can try to provide more details on size, weight, speed etc.

There was a (admittedly rubbish) film about 3 years ago as well...

[Zutty]

Oooooh. I'm a big Thunderbirds fan so this will be awesome.

How about yourself? You could at least give it a try...

[Eruresto]

I'm not even 20, and love it! My family recorded it off the telly and saved it for when i was old enough to watch it...they showed it in 92, and then in about 2003...

[dinkiy]

Please don't dig up old topics if you have nothing useful to add.

We've already warned him about the same thing. He seems to have a problem with this.
Actually, since IT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THAT HARD to look at dates, and since it actually takes EXTRA EFFORT to go back and look through old posts, I think he's doing this on purpose. I think he just wants to get attention. Unfortunately, calling him out on this (as I have done) won't do anything, because it's exactly what he wants, and I can't exactly ask everybody to ignore him because there's no way everybody here will see this post.

@dinkiy: Please try to follow forum etiquette if you don't want to be completely alienated.
