|
| | | 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 (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space, FTX) !

I like the headlights, it's a great use for those in that color, a part that seems like it would be (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The use of smooth panel (World City roof/hood) parts on the sides works well too. (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The headlights just had to be (and they practically wrap around), and those neon (...) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

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)
