Lenny,
Thanks for the kind words.  The only other pods I've even thought about trying
are the two that LEGO has released in Watto's Junkyard.  I'm not even familiar
with the names of the drivers...
I'm also planning on rendering a wall-paper-sized race scene or two in the near
future, but I'm not sure yet if I'll try to build any new pods first or not.

Joel,
This is really awesome!  It totally has the look of the Official minis!  Just
wait and LEGO will be 'borrowing' this idea just like they borrowed
Brucey-wan's Bomarr Monk desgin.

Are you going to do the entire Mos Espa race pods?  What a sight that would be!
Great Stuff!

Following up my own post...
I made some comparison renders last night, showing my podracer next to the
two official models.

Hello all,
I'm not the most prolific of builders, but I'm still waiting for the MINI
sets to hit retail in my part of the world, so I've been amusing myself by
building the existing MINI podracers in MLcad. Since LEGO hasn't released
Gasgano's pod at this size, I thought I'd give it a shot. (look for a
wallpaper-sized scene using all three pods in the near future.)  I'm not
convinced that orange is the way to go for the front, and I'd love to hear
other people's thoughts.

(...) Aldar Beedo and Mawhonic, I think. Lovely design there. I notice that most people who've done micro-fig scale in the past though have made theirs even smaller than these official ones. Jason J Railton (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)
