Three small new MOCs: The Blueshifter is a 60's style (2160's, that is) single-seat personal transport. It's retro styling and oversized thrusters make it popular among the street-racing crowd: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=27005 The Chariot is a short-range fighter, used by a mysterious alien race. I'm not sure what kind of alien this is, but judging by his looks I'd say he's a bad guy: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=27007 This is my interpretation of a Flycycle, from Larry Niven's "Ringworld." That's Louis Wu in the driver's seat. It's pretty simple. Here's the folder (not yet moderated): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=27007 and the pics: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jjardine/flycycle/flycycle1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jjardine/flycycle/flycycle2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jjardine/flycycle/flycycle3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jjardine/flycycle/flycycle4.jpg Apologies for the quality of the pics - time has been short lately.

(...) done it using an unconventional design and pieces...the rubber band holder as engine is great!!! (...) Haven't read the book, so I can really comment but it looks pretty nifty. Reminds me a little of the Duplo mini speeder of Jon's. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) The police car scene is cool. (before I ask on all of them, HLDITY to build all of them?) (...) Just to let you know, the folder number is wrong for the flycycle. I fixed it on this post though. Keep up the good work! Hasta La Vista, Sean (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

		Re: New MOCs: Blueshifter, Chariot, Flycycle
(...) Nice flycycle...I pictured the spheres being a bit bigger, but I guess they would have had to be that size to fit through the airlock... Nice MOCs! (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) interpretation nonetheless. After your initial post I considered doing a flycycle myself, but I couldn't think of a way to express the field encircling the pilot. -Matt (22 years ago, 18-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) with two huge engines slung behind it. Those are some over-achieving aliens! :) (...) Great work! -JHK (22 years ago, 19-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
