First is the Jack O' Lantern, which uses orange technic wheel hubs as the

mmm orange. I've almost got enough of that colour for it to be used on
something. I'm jealous of anyone that has it in sufficient quantities to use
it properly.

Te bat wings are a cute touch. I'm not sure about the axes on the front
though. Is there any way to get them closer to the wheel to act as wheel
covers? They seem to stick out a bit. Then again, that could be a useful

This is my favourite. The light green fits the undersea theme perfectly, but
the way the wheels transform into propellors makes it for me. It makes the
kind of odd looking and disproportional wheels forgivable (which set are
they from btw?) The pipes break up the canopy nicely too.

If I didn't have so many other idea burning the back of my mind I'd be
building turbocycles.

Catching up with one of my Brickswest inspirations, and grabbing onto the coat tails of a couple of new fads/interstellar species, I created three new turbocycles for my Turbocycle League. Snag them all from one location at the bottom of this page: (...) (22 years ago, 24-Feb-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone)
