I care to the extent that I’d like to be able to say, “Hey, I made an X-wide
Prowler,” and expect that the other person could glean enough from that to infer
relative size before actually seeing what it looks like.

Coolness trumps wideness, and this is pretty dern cool.

Why, thank you. I figure this’ll go over better in a MichLTC display than a
Toa-based train (though I haven’t ruled out that possibility).

I want one for my own fantasy minifig-me.

Well, if anyone ever gets around to cobbling together a Bohrok eye for LDraw, I
can probably have someone from MichLUG put together instructions for how to
build one (I’m not sure that my computer could handle the renderings).

All I know is it wouldn’t be a Purple Dave moc without at least one Bionicle
tooth in it somewhere, and this one doesn’t dissapoint.

Hey, not all of my MOCs use Bohrok eyes! My first Moonbase used Pohatu toes.
And the hoverbikes used Rahkshi heads. And I really did try to build this with
a pair of this part instead of Bohrok
eyes, but they aren’t tapered enough when laid flat (same size in the back, but
they don’t reach as far forward). Even the Bohrok eyes bulge out a little, but
there’s nothing slimmer that will fit in there except parallel-sided bricks and
plates. I could have made the forward sides look more accurate, but it would
have meant dropping the fenders completely.

| (...) Dave, This is a sweet interpretation of a Prowler. I think the overall form is right on and the size is fine. As to the "x-wide" question, that's a tough one. One way of determining the issue is to look at the roadway for which this vehicle (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jul-04, to lugnet.town, FTX)
