This was one of the first sites I found last year when I went searching for
Lego on the net, and I was blown away! You can rest assured that the TLG

After looking at the landspeeder, I'm convinced the cockpit could be done at 6
studs (or maybe 6.25) width with a special piece. This would reduce the
minimum width of a TLG model to 30 studs (35 would look much better), which
should be doable for less than $100.
