Hi all,

Mr. Drake beat me yet again, but I prevail!  Here is my Ice Planet contest
turbocycle - the Absolute Zero.  At 96 pieces, it falls in the category II
ground vehicles section.

Some notes:

Tires + ice = bad, but these tires have micro-Spidey-spike-thingies. :-)
Wings/fairings fold out to glide over the massive canyons on the Ice Planet.
Wings include ice-chopper chainblades to saw through ice or other bikes.
Side-mounted flamethrowers melt ice out front of the bike.

Kudos to Adrain for keeping me inspired; I used his canopy idea from his
Blacktron bike.

Find it at

the groundcraft page at http://xcalabur.topcities.com

LMKWYT.

Way WAY back in the murky depths of childhood I remember this movie called MegaForce (there was an ad for it on the back (...) (22 years ago, 28-May-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)
