Hello,
Well, after a long evening of building I have completed my entry into the
civilian MOC contest. I would like to present the Sportster -- for the person
who likes thrills, speed, and hot looks. The Sportster has a top speed of
1200kph with a max altitude that is near space. It comes standard with
retractable landing gear, air breathing engines, ion thrust turbo jets -- for
that extra kick, and a fighter craft like cockpit that makes anyone feel like an
elite pilot.
The Sportster: for the discerning driver who appreciates performance over
comfort -- or simply for those that are compensating for ... well, something.

This model presented several issues - first was the size, I wanted it to be
small like an MG roadster (which was the inspiration for the sportster) with a
touch of both retro and future styling, and enough greebling to look stripped
down. I was surprised that I was able to design and built this thing in only 20
hours, yes 20 hours of straight building/prototyping. I have never completed a
model in such a short amount of time -- I gues was realy inspired by many of the
cool craft I saw being entered into the contest. Obviously the competition is
going to be tough.
I will be posting better photos tomorrow when the light is better and I have had
full night of sleep.
Thanks for looking,
Brently
