Spaceship Harbour

Quote from: killnoizer on October 12, 2024, 02:54:03 AMIn FACT the ladder is hanging on a small hook inside the ship but if it is hanging free the weight of the guy put it out of balance what is looking not so good . So i be pragmatic and keep it this way ...

This is why Alumelast™ is a much better solution.

Maybe there is enough space for a small car ..

Not a problem, it can escape via osmosis through the skin of the vehicle.

According to our late colleague Tophe, propulsion can be achieved by the power of the pilot/driver's thoughts alone. He and I exchanged emails about the Moody Blues lyric "........thinking is the best way to travel....." Perhaps this two wheeled device has a Tophian motor.

Sounds great to me! The Tophe motor! It runs on Thophalol and good thoughts.

Cool, I like it!

Could be a portable air blower.
They had gas blowers in WWI to keep the airships inflated when hangared.

Here's one that was modified with a cut-down Sopwith Pup propeller, as an air blower to ventilate the hangar, and later with a guard for use on an airboat.

Yours just has wheels and is used to keep the concentration of fuel fumes down to a safe level. And the operator sitting in it.
He should probably be facing the fan, though.

This go cart is made to travel fast! The driver needs a windshield to keep the bugs off his face.

The windshield is ready done, but i like that clear line of the car so i did not mount it

The single axle pod car reminded me of Gerry Arling's Kosmotroniks. This fellow townsman of mine creates very imaginative vehicles and artworks from leftovers of model kits with added other plastic stuff. His early ones in the late 90's were simple and small but he now makes museum quality objects. Very steampunk but also something from an iteration of Earth that has never lost magic and because of that never needed to experiment with nuclear power. Also, lots of physics laws were abolished. For more fun.
Wonderful stuff worth browsing through and get some inspiration from...

Those remind me of circus wagons. I love the paint work.
