It’s great by itself, but it’ll probably need to be a bit isolated in a MichLUG
show, since most of the cars are 4-wide.
| |
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 was built and see if
it fits within the parameters.
|
What now? Road...way? I think the closest thing I’ve ever owned is the grey
space landing pad, and I’m not sure offhand which road width MichLUG uses.
| |
Another thing is to go by the wheelbase, but this may just be doing the same
thing as the first.
|
The front wheels are 5.5 and the rear wheels are 7.
| |
A third option would be to average the widths of the “section bodies” of the
car.
|
Hmmm, the skinniest part is 3-wide, right where the outer edge of the fender
crosses the outer edge of the Bohrok eye. That would give it a mean average of
5-wide. The median average by stud-length is also about 5.wide. I’m not even
going to attempt a true average.
Well, one thing I just realized is that I have no idea how wide a Prowler is
compared to regular cars, so maybe it should be determined by whichever section
is about as wide as a more standardized car.
| |
I would also suggest creating a hover version, like something we’d find
gracing the skies of The Fifth Element.
|
I wouldn’t attribute the word “grace” to anything seen in that movie, but I do
have an idea for how I could build an airborne version without changing the body
very much. We’ll just pretend it’s from Futurama.
