Alright it’s not really space, but it is sci fi. It’s a personal aircar for zipping around the skylanes of the cities of the future.

This sort of grew out from the arrangement ot the headlight pieces which I threw together in an idle moment on Sunday. Of course I ended up spending a few hours finishing it off after that much to my wife’s chagrin :). The landing gear took a bit of refinement, but it was worth the effort I think.

  Re: Civvie space contest entry II - Aircar.
 
(...) I love it! The overall shape is nice, the detailing is well done, and the landing gear looks solidly engineered. This is precisely the kind of well-polished model that I've been aiming for with my racers series, though I don't think I've hit (...) (20 years ago, 24-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Wheee! This looks like very swooshable fun. The bottom detail/landing gear is great. the headlights are a great use of pieces. Kinda Naboo-y overall, & that's good. Jeff (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Allow me to curse you for both your possession of a Blacktron canopy, and your mad-dog landing gear skillz. I'm formulating a theory that the southern hemisphere doesn't filter the sun's radiation as efficently, giving rise to innovative MOC (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
