(...) Sorry, you're not getting any B.S. from me. I've actually started on this moc as a standalone hovercraft of sorts. But I had two of the windscreens and the other odd red piece that came out to what it is. I'll probably try to change the design (...)

Nice MOC! My question is why the twin pod design? I've always wondered what the purpose of a twin pod design in the cloud car has if there is only one engine between the two. I could see a benefit to the car if the pods were detachable, but one (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

It uses only the top 2 studs on the rear of a one-piece motorcycle and the taillight stud for an anchor. When I was younger it seemed like a really (...)

Hey Sean, This is way cool! The figs actually look to me like they're ice skating, which suggests an ice rink as a possible MOC. Perhaps the Brick Apple could use a Rockefeller Plaza creation?
