 | | New MOC: PHOD —Bram Lambrecht
|
| | | With all the pods being built, I had to make one too. It had to be different though, and of course had to have stowable landing gear. It actually took a surprisingly long time to build (a few hours) to get it to look like I wanted it too. So take a (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.announce.moc)

| | | | | wow, you're really on a kick about cockpits w/ guys laying down in them aren't you ;-) i think the PHOD is an excellent addition to the ongoing series of pod's around here of late. i like the horizontal look (kinda jetsons) and the landing gear, and (...)

| | | | | Heh, that's pretty cool. I had to build one of my own already. My wife thinks it's cute. It was pretty easy to build. When I was just about finished, I realized that the saucers are actually supposed to rotate, so I fixed that glich, then i saw that (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

One of the best uses of the steering wheel piece that I've ever seen - in fact, the whole landing gear assembly is pretty dang cool. I love how (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

It can fit 2 people inside, along with a slightly different landing mechanism. Front view: (URL) (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
