This MOC was supposed to be a techwest POD - since they are both the
brainchild of Gil Shaw I thought it’d make sense to moosh them together. I
didn’t achieve much of a techwest look unfortunately, other than a nod in
that direction with the colour scheme, but it’s certainly a pod. It also
seems to have come out with more than a hint of Neverwhere about it.
Anyway, check it out
and plmkwyt.

Teef! Teef!
Just kidding of course. I am honoured sir!
This has some amazing elements to it...the double canopy (and that ingenious
back-to-back mount) along with the fanned vents in the back make it an
incredible pod on it’s own.
A modification that might nudge it more in the techwest direction might be to
harness a steed to it and turn it into a hansom cab of sorts as used by the
gentry of the old west? Or perhaps one of the fast carriages used by the pony
express?
Either way or as is, a plum lil’ number, to be right shure.
Cheers,
-Gil
