Joel,
This is really awesome! It totally has the look of the Official minis! Just
wait and LEGO will be 'borrowing' this idea just like they borrowed
Brucey-wan's Bomarr Monk desgin.
Are you going to do the entire Mos Espa race pods? What a sight that would be!
Great Stuff!

Lenny,
Thanks for the kind words. The only other pods I've even thought about trying
are the two that LEGO has released in Watto's Junkyard. I'm not even familiar
with the names of the drivers...
I'm also planning on rendering a wall-paper-sized race scene or two in the near
future, but I'm not sure yet if I'll try to build any new pods first or not.

Aldar Beedo and Mawhonic, I think.
Lovely design there. I notice that most people who've done micro-fig scale
in the past though have made theirs even smaller than these official ones.

Neither of those pods is the best one, though. The guy (Quadrinaros or
somesuch) with four engines has the best pod. I'd love to see a mini of
that. mmm.
