Sure, a page sounds good.
I built mine last night after the posts.
Mine is 6 by 19 studs and is just longer
and taller than minifig scale. The wheels
don't fold however, I couldn't compact
mouser's wheels enough to fit in 6 wide.
I am using the smallest hub with larger
rubber wheels, if that makes sense.

These are the wheels. It looks nice, and
uses the low windshield (clear) I really need
to finish the doors. Right now I have a
grey roof hinge with 1 x 4 plate held
on by 2 1 by 2 grates with a white 2 by
2 for the window. I think it looks good,
Now, to find someone in school with a
scanner. . .
