Driller Thriller
I've always loved this driller mole design. I saw this one on eBay so saved the pic.
I remember seeing one like it as part of the Echo Cars range, the Moguras.
Do you have anything like these readers?

JR21 THUNDERBIRD 2: ITS STORY HAS LEGS!
I've been researching the legs of JR21 Thunderbird 2's of late, you know, the retractable part metal/ part plastic rods with those cute button feet.
As far as I can tell there are two colours, red and white.
Having read up on the subject in various places, it would appear that the red ones were released with the HPM version of the toy - thats Herts Plastic Moulders i.e the initial and UK version [the one later partly filled with sweets 'cos they couldn't source the friction drives!]
HPM then lost the contract to a Hong Kong factory and the resultant JR21 logo'd [2 versions of logo positioning] Thunderbird 2 had white legs.
Is this your understanding readers?
Which one have you got?

ROB C's MOLE
Here is my build of a 1992 model kit of The Mole, by Bandai. It’s a small, toy-like kit, with few details, so I decided to paint it as if it were a Dinky Toys die-cast.
