I know I said I wouldn't do an entry in this contest (since I don't own any
Ice Planet sets) but what the hell, I got inspired.  Presenting the Glacial
Spike, a category 2 ground vehicle (with 99 pieces, just barely under the
limit *hehe*)  It is, of course, yet another turbocycle (do I build anything
else?) and can be found here:

And on another note, I'd like to thank everyone who's visited Brickfrenzy,
as I recently passed 250,000 pageviews since the site went live August 20th,
2000.  Thanks!

I love the model but have one concern.  Cycles + Ice = bad.  Now I admit, the
wheels are wide .. but still .. 8-)

Now if you have a few larger gears that you could place in between the two rims
to act as "spikes" for traction .. now were talking.  Would even give it a mean
look.


That's an interesting idea.  However, that'd make the wheel sections too
wide.  Maybe the wheels have some sort of force field to hold them on the
ice for traction, or they have microscopic spikes like Spider-man's fingers.
This is science fiction, after all.  The technology's advanced a bit :)
