| | | | | (...) An odd take on an odd original, this is truly (URL) morvellous> with its studlessness and economy of parts; it looks effortless. Great colour scheme, too. You've definitely got a style of your own, JP; I'd have recognized this as yours without (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | | (...) That comment piqued my interest enough to go look up what a BMW Isetta actually looks like (kinda like a baby Beetle, IMHO), and it reminded me of the car that the Blue Raja drives in Mystery Men. Well, except for the fact that its scene was (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | | | (...) Wow, that was quick. It's certainly a Messerschmitt, but they made three models that look pretty similar (KR-175, KR-200, KG-500). It's hard to say which version it might be. I thought the "driver's side" mirror placement might help, but I've (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | (...) Very cute. I like the use of the domes inside the engine, and the placement of the chrome macaroni to follow the engine shape. I wonder whether it would look a bit sleeker, though, if it was sloped from the driver compartment down to the (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks Paul. Hmmmm I didn't think about having a slopped front part, mainly because I started this MOC by making the engine pod, and I wanted to keep that flatness between them. I think using two wedges like this one could be nice : (URL) But (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Thanks for posting a ton of construction pics! And the flat nose area seems like a perfect place to (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | Thanks Tony! I build this just after finishing the (URL) SRF>, thinking a race can begin as soon as you're two on the starting line. But the scale / atmospheric look of these lil'racers do not really match with yours... By the way, your (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | | (...) The Isetta doesn't strike me as a racing vehicle, but I'd say the SRF is pretty close to the mark for my racers. The only problem is the huge intakes that kind of give it away as an atmosphere-only craft. You could fairly easily justify that, (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
