    New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Gil Shaw
   Greetings! In response to Jeremy Sproat's call for landspeeder MOCs, I was working on a quick little design for a speed which I now present as Toradoch Kinetic's Renarad aeroground high performance speeder. This is actually an updated version of a (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space) !

     (...) Sweet! Looks like it'd be fun to whoosh around. Very sleek lookin' and FOXXY. ;-) Chris <>< (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Gil Shaw
     Oh, but it is! Perhaps Ms Foxx would be interested in a model? Now what would it take to get her in one of these (says cheezey-moustached local Toradoch salesman). Thanks! -G (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

     (...) It would take some wholesale prices, and some Chicken Nuggets. Myra loves them Chicken Nuggets (better have some honey mustard on board). Now what is the address of her nearest Toradoch dealership? ;-) Chris <>< (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Gil Shaw
     Chicken Nuggets eh? I think that could be arranged. Toradoch Kinetics is still in the process of developing its retail branches, but perhaps this fine gentleman may be able to fix you up with a suitable lemon...-uh..vehicle until our engineers can (...)

     I think Dan shouldn't have a problem sellin a quality piece of cra..... I mean merchandise to this fine gentleman. :) That is one good MOC you built there Gil. Just make sure it's built good enough so it doesn't make it to Dan's place. ;) Jamie (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

     Thank you sir! Asymmetry is fun :) -G (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —John Henry Kruer
     Wow! All those slope pieces work well in this. The assymetry and all the bits sticking out of the back are nice too. Quite an interesting design. Only one question: how does the pilot reach all the controls in front of him? :) -JHK (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Gil Shaw
     Thanks John! I'm still using your idea of the 6stud tapered slope...this time as a sideflare on the cockpit. On the reverse angle, it is revealed that the insturments above the control bars are display only. However, I needed sleep more than another (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Chris Maddison
     That's cool. I love the assymetry, as others have noted, and the color scheme is great. All the stuff sticking out the back makes for interesting lines. This thing looks awkwardly fast. -Chris (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Gil Shaw
     Thankya Chris! When I made the original...oh about 21 years ago, I was attempting to make a space version of my neighbour's '74 Stingray. Ever since the tapered slopes have been coming out, I've had it in my mind to try and do the same....and voila. (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Sean Devolites
     (...) Wassssup (...) Great Job Gil! Looks cool and 'swooshable'. Red and Gray is a good color combo. Good detail to. HLDITY to build it? Hasta La Vista, Sean (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Gil Shaw
     Thanks Sean....it has seen some swooshing over the last couple days. In total, it took me about 2 hours to cobble it together. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Adrian Drake
     (...) So that's what those things are sticking out of the top of the PodCycle :) This is a neat little design. It looks very fast and streamlined. And asymetricel! Coolness! Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: New MOC: Toradoch Renard speeder —Gil Shaw
     It's the lure of the speed!!!! Many thanks Adrian, for both the compliments and the design inspiration. Strangely, it came partly from my building past as described earlier, and also some infuence from that Japanese biker phenom we were discussing (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

     Way to answer the call. Looks like a fun speeder. The placement of the cockpit is great. (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

     Thanks Andrew. It is fun to one to play, err.., run simulated test flights with. Hehe...'ahem'. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
