Kevin,

Welcome back out of the dark ages!

This reminds me somewhat of a GoldWing or Pacific Coast, in motorcycle terms.
Making odd wide vehicles is hard, it's tough to get the symmetry right.

It does look a little clunky and square though, maybe the plates reduce the
visual interest too much.

George,

Thanks for the advice and the welcome.  The plates on the side were an
afterthought basically because I couldn't come up with anything cool looking
enough.  Seeing all the models posted here on lugnet and browsing brickshelf has
been inspiring me to build models that are both interesting to look at and
having parts that actually perform a function.

This is my newest vehicle, which I like a lot better than the snotcycle.  It's a
fusion drive prototype ship with an exposed large engine and exhaust jets.

Kevin,

I like this one a lot, very interesting, with lots of nozzles, hoses and
thrusters and such. I hope you finish the spaceport, I don't see many of them on
bricklink.

Thanks,

George
