Thank you Paul. I appreciate the Syd Mead reference. While I didn’t specifically
have him in mind, I definitely grew up immersed in his style of csrs. (And, of
course, the original years of Hot Wheels, which is partly the reason for the
hoodless look.)
I’m glad you liked the engine. For those who are interested, I’ve put up a photo
of the engine out of the car
here It’s not actually atteched, just wedged in, and though I’m not entirely
happy with that arrangement, I like the engine, so it stays. There are also a
few other pics taken in natural light for those who want to examine the colours:
the last four pics in the
Brickshelf gallery. Also don’t miss the MOC page linked to the sigfig below.
Stacked plates offer so many sculpting and detail options, it’s hard to resist
them. (especially if one is short of lime green wedges ;-)
Peace and style,
Professor Whateverly
