Hey .spacers
Here’s a new hovercar for your consideration. It’s not based on any specific
car, but definitely nods toward those late ‘60s/early ‘70s behemoths. It’s low.
It’s wide. It’s powerful. It seats one. Seats ONE ??!!??!
Yes, it’s the opposite of practical and efficient, but boy can it swoosh.
There are more pics (deeplinks are 01 through 22) and it will all be
here post mod.
This one was fun, but tricky; it’s been over a month (1) in the making. Tricky,
because I started with the sides, then the rear, then the canopy hinge, then the
headlights... the canopy was later. The engine and interior were last. That’s
right... I built it from the outside in.
It also features that canopy that Tony Hafner recently
mastered with a different hinging
system. (See it
closed and
open)
I’ll be happy to discuss the finer points of construction later, but for now
enjoy the pictures and PLMKWYT.
Peace and heavyness,
Professor Whateverly
(1) Yeah, I’ve been doing other things this month

| (...) Hey, this is really cool! Such a unique and interesting shape- that little smooth cockpit in the middle of that big solid block. It reminds me of the 'Hummer Baby Stroller' on the back page of the Feb 16 and 23 (what's up with that) edition of (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Nice work! I really dig that use of plates to give that ribbed effect on top. And the engine looks really cool too. The car kind of reminds me of those 70's sci-fi "car of the future" efforts, the sort of cars Syd Mead would design. Cheers, (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
