Pod Racer 262

[killnoizer]

My wife ordered this pod racer ,  so i started with engine design like she wants it ... Big Fat Short , and they will be fixed with arms at the front .

Pilot seat is in a open cabin just with a small shield,
but it is moved to the end of fuselage , also the wings , and changed it to shoulder wings .

He he, nice. Given the size, you could also use an 1:48 scale pilot/driver figure? Would come closer to the sport devices' dimensions?

Fine idea , I always think about that changing of measures in just the  opposite direction . But the pilot bay is just the half of the normal size right now .  I start to build a moveable engine holder to make them turntable up and down with some small magnets  inside , I am curios about the magnetic effect of direction with the poles of the magnets .  Maybe it is safer to use one magnet and a screw on the counterpart ?    Pix will come later ....

So today just worked the engine pods ...
Some neodym magnets from cigarette papers and some screws do the job .  Why does it need 4-5 hours for that ?

Something went wrong with my uploads, this is it now ...

And the moveable pods are realy funny, a new experience to modellwork for me . 
And now the Color again, don't know realy what to do with it .  There are 4-5 new builds ready without Color on it ,
maybe I need to take a break with whatif models , need to play guitar again, did not touch any instrument for two weeks right now.
