   Sloppy job on the red stripes. Cut the stripe stickers that go around the slope bricks freehand. I also should have raised the top one by one plate more, but hey, you all know I’m lazy. This has actually been sitting around for months (some of you know that too), I only had the inclination to take photos today.

Still, the panto design is new (from what I’m aware of) and I thought the top in general turned out nice. Notice the lack of muck on it as well. There’s also a concealed switch for the battery box, which powers the lights in the front and at the back. See if you can find it. MOCPage will be up ASAP, after the BS gallery is moderated. Stay tuned.

Looks like you did a good job matching the prototype. In pic 42, it looks like the tubing could have been a little shorter to pull the details closer to the roof. I like the use of car roof pieces for the windows. Is it my imagination or do the side vents stick out a little? That could have added a little more detail. I haven’t seen that panto design before, looks good. Everyone is using minifig arms for something neat these days, it’s cool.

Good work, thanks for sharing.
