Thanks, that's just what I was going for. It's easy to make a model
that happens to be red and blue and trans-orange. I wanted to capture
the quirky bad design typical of official LEGO sets (of that era,
anyway).
By the way, anyone remember the old "All-Terrain Vehicle"?
(http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6927) It would get hung up if you drove
it over a single brick! Nice ground clearance there. Even when I was
a kid and it was new, I thought that was stupid. But it was good for
parts :-)

(And what is it with the Ice Grandpa guy? Every Ice Planet set seemed
to feature him almost exclusively.)

AMAZING BUT TRUE: There is so much sand in northern Africa that if it were
spread out it would completely cover the Sahara Desert!
