hiya!
I own a classic Vespa P200e and I love it, but I have always hoped the
familiar wasp shape design would come up again in a future vehicle, so I
built this little MOC:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6047
Its probably the only "swooshable" thing I've made in years :O
LMKWYT!
cheers!

Joel!!
Awesome scooter, man! It seems to run in the same vein as Paul Hartzog's tan
speeder bike from months past. At least to my eyes. :)
I love the use of the 2x3 black backhoe "scoop" as the "skid plate" or
whatnot underneath. Is that a cleverly hidden click-hinge arm behind it? It
looks like it in this pic:

You've made a great use of parts all around!
Y'know.. looking at that same pic, it almost strikes me as something that
might have shown up in the background during the "chase" scenes at the
beginning(ish) of The 5th Element...
I love it! (and you've inspired me to try and think up something about this
size, now.. curse you! <G>)

thanks, I wasn't thinking of his speeder when I made it, but I can
definately see why you'd think that. I like his vehicle a lot, so I don't
mind the comparison.

it is a click hinge, although I wasn't really trying to hide it, it's just
part of the shape :)

I'm really happy that I was able to use the large space port astronaut
backpack in a MOC. It actually makes a really cool instrument panel and
handlebars.

I have to admit I like some of the designs in that movie, but it was mostly
the sets like the apartments and the regeneration tube, some of the other
stuff was a little silly.

well, there was a wheeled bike movement, so maybe with Pat's and Paul's
hover vehicles we can start the hover bike movement :)
cheers!

Sweet design Joel, i really like all the non-perpendicular
angles. It's so hard w/ lego to break out of the whole
up-down studs thing...
mebbe we can trade off some dats and one of us can build
our speeders and take a pic of them all together in one
pic, racing or something?
or we could try to get to a LUG....

I think that TLC has made it a lot easier in the last couple years, there
seem to be more and more parts that allow good angles and solid SNOT design.
I'm all for it!

that's not a bad idea. I wanted to make a DAT so I could do a render of it,
but there are just too many new parts in it that can't be DATted out yet.
Do you have a DAT for yours? I have an idea... I will email you personally.
cheers!

Wow, cool design. It looks like you made very good use of each piece - no
wasted parts. Keep up the great work.
