The mask didn’t lend itself well to a car, but it reminded me of the cowl of a snowmobile.

So here they are: Hover Sleds!

The brown sled was built first. I then dug through my collection and pulled out another mask that had been kicking around for awhile, and built the yellow one. After all, it’s no fun to ride alone!

Let me know what you all think.

Welcome to .space Elroy. (We all find our way here sooner or later.)

I think you’ve got a winner there (too bad there’s no contest.) I especially Like what you did with the chairs and that’s a very clever bit of SNOT. I was scratching my head for quite a while; I’ve used the part before but not so cleverly hidden or economically. My forehead is still a little red from the “why didn’t I think of that” moment. You’ve got a great parts/coolness ratio there.

Not surprisingly, I had to dig out one of my favourite masks. Please allow me to offer you the sincerest form of flattery:



I had to modify the front to work this mask in. This might be the PCS version. This could also be the next pod craze.

Peace and imitation,

PS. I left it to you to reveal the SNOT secret as you wish. I wouldn’t want to deny anyone the brain stretch, that’s what I love about Lego.
