Not true -- just one element is in dispute, the front cab windshield. What other element did you have in mind though? The proof is that I have the thing built and sitting on the living room television. The CAD work was after the fact and mainly because the digital camera I have access to just sucks. The windscreen is available in trans-clear/white and could be made yellow with a translucent paint. I readily admit that TLC never produced this element in trans-yellow themselves, not to my knowledge. BTW, did you get that the whole thing comes apart and is VERY modular? The main components are: the front cab, storage container, back section container/engine with hind flipper, 2 wings/flippers which can be placed on either container, and the back fin which can also be placed on either container. I wondered if I should have included another image of the components unassembled... BTW Tony, I had a frightful experience a few weeks back that might interest you. What had happened, you see, is that I clicked on your hafheaddotcom header...::shudder::...at which point I ran from the room shouting, "MY EYES! MY EYES!..." -- Hop-Frog

(...) never came in those colors. I realize that the Scrutinizer did allow this, but you aren't getting my votes. Am I serious here? Or am I saying this only because I'm still jealous because I had a good contender for the "Ugliest, Wackiest Thing (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
