As it was Poc I removed the carrier.

The model is a converted sketchup design with supports 'baked in'

Results will be better with 'fresh' pla and perhaps less shine ;)

I'd love to see some photos of the finished models.

Got a Mole but it's a huge model, pretty sure it isn't Matchbox since the carrier vehicle is all plastic (oddly the mole itself is largely metal) and it's much bigger than the Thunderbird 2 model! Quite a clever design in some ways - the caterpillar tracks are geared to a mechanism that spins the drill as it moves along the ground, the carrier cradle tilts to launch it, and it does actually slide out of the vehicle quite smoothly.

Not exactly a spaceship but definitely SF - a 30x40cm print on canvas of a Banksy picture I found in a charity shop last week, now on my wall

Silly...
