   Hello.

I made a one-man airship. The person peddles to make the flap-dealies move, causing the whole thing to move. I used Bruce Lowells sphere.

This particular cycloplin has been around for a while, so the owner, a wizard, has had to patch a few holes in the balloon.

I wish there was a .fantasy to post this in.

Let me know what you think.

Nice job, Kevin. I’ve never seen one one these modeled in Lego before. Where did you get the idea? Somehow, the movie Waterworld comes to mind.

My favorite detail is the wizard’s hat. I guess it wasn’t necessary for TLC to make a one-piece pointed minifig hat after all! Using the rubber band as a hatband is perfect.

Cheers, John Ladasky
