Hi all, Fresh and clean out of the HoverTub, I have a more "serious" entry for the HoverThing contest. It's a small (2x5 base) hoverbike that I first built back in the early 1980s (!!) and that I've reconstituted using all the same parts, save the (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)

 | | HoverThing Contest Entry #1: Kit-Car
|
|
Instead of pushing the maximum size limit, I decided to push the minimum. The hover kit-car is propelled by three turbofans and two compressed gas canisters. Its range, speed, and hover height are limited, but it's light weight and maneuverability (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

I love it, Dan! I was hoping you'd get around to showing us close-ups of it. One day, I, too, will work in nanofig scale, but now is not that time. It sigves a great sense of perspective when you work like this. I actually did a doubletake when I (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)

Greetings! In case anyone's interested, I posted a few pics of my nanofig-scale Adaloid Mothership on Brickshelf: (URL) tried to get some different angles to show the overall design and details. I imagine the scale of the mothership would compare to (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)

Hey, I really like how you got the basic shape of the hull down, it is very accurate. I agree with some other posts I saw, with all the sculpting you did, it would be very easy to introduce some color modulation, some greys and even tans perhaps, (...)

Well having not seen any of the others I can say that your hoverbike is pretty cool of its own merits. I especially like the unorthodox use of the windows and wheels. -Mike Petrucelli (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)

|
|
Well-- Twice now I've designed hangar bay doors for a *base* (not a capital ship) in the same way that I'm really rather happy with, although it requires some extra mechanism room... I also don't see anyone who's mentioned it (at a quick search) so (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)
