Please don't get your hopes up for that one, Jase.

The Pegasus models tripod is from the recent Tom Cruise film set in modern day America and Victoriana like the "Thunderchild" would look completely out of place in a diorama like that.

It's a shame as, like many others, I have always wanted to do a dio of the "Thunderchild" and a couple of war machines at the coast, "Thunderchild" desperately protecting the passenger ship.

If you don't mind a bit of 'paper work'BigGrin have a look here:http://w.cutnpastesf.com/models/tripod/ Also there are some paper model pre-Dreadnought ships available on Ebay which would make beautiful Thunderchilds (yes, I've had the same thoughts!Blushing )

I know they are from the modern film but I am not sure how they would look out of place as advanced space invaders in late victorian England any more than Jeff wanes 1970's concept is
