I was inspired by both Larry’s recent Dome Car build and Benn’s Pleasure Dome build, I’ve tried it, again. I really like Larry’s truck-springs and interior details. And, Benn’s use of the dark-grey windscreen is quite nice for its fine-line window framing.

Hi James,

thanks for sharing your latest design here! I agree with you, that Larry built the so far best trucks and that Benn’s dark grey windscreens might be the so far best solution for the dome. At least in kids hands that design will be superior agains yours now.

But what amazes me most about your car is the interior! Beginning with the blue carpet and the nice stairs to the top. And my favorite is the door to the next car - that is really beautiful!

Kind Regards,

Ben
