I really like this Jeff...you've really captured the roadster feel and have
done it using an unconventional design and pieces...the rubber band holder
as engine is great!!!



The Chariot is a short-range fighter, used by a mysterious alien race.  I'm

A very simple and elegant craft...I like.  The figure is fantastic.

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.

Apologies for the quality of the pics - time has been short lately.
