[Challenge 5][Cat D] Octan Magnetic pulsar

[Professor Thaum]

Spoiled cause WIP, the good pics are in the end of the topic, thanks

Spoiler

Here it is !! Coming into play for the Olympics, the Octan Magnetic Pulsar.

ready for a test drive... with its test driver, again M. Fourfree.

The Magnetic pulsar is VTOL capable...

... do not use road but is able to polarize all its defined path ans use it as a sliding track without friction...

...and nearly fly almost 3 m above the ground in magnetic sutentation...

... maneuverability is pretty good and the speed really amazing.

Last advice from the test driver : do not forget your G-suit !!

C&C welcome

Love those rotating wheels!

[Zaael]

Cool build Prof!! I really like the rotating wheels! Very scifi looking race car!!

You might wanna try to zoom out a little when taking the pictures so the whole model is on them.

[Professor Thaum]

I'm a very bad photographer, and my phone is not a great camera...

and above all, I don't have a cool place to take the pics, if I zoom out, you will see all the model and some bonus in addition (part of the house, broken tiles of the terrace, ready to paint shutter on trestle, my son playing turnball etc etc)

I like how you've done the magnetic paddles/wheels(?), reminds me a little of Back to the Future. The color works well everywhere, too.

I can't tell the exact dimensions of it from front to back, but I worry it's a bit oversized:

Make a land vehicle racer. It could have wheels or be a speeder. It should fit inside a 10x20 stud area and have room for at least one minifigure

you're right, it must fit in 10 x 20... for instance it fits a 16 x 16...

damned, I had to alter the paddles... the base hull is 6x16, but the magnetic paddles are 4x4 each...

[Professor Thaum]

Small interlude, the magnetic pulsar is back to the workshop, the prof is adapting new magnetic paddles... pics this evening or tomorrow

[Professor Thaum]

All is OK

A new VTOL testing

this time it fits in 8 x 16 (not really 8, it is between 8 and 9 studs wide)

[craggy]

nice build, looks very powerful, but also nice and swooshy.

[rodiziorobs]

Woah, that was a quick mod job!

I like the new look!

[mccoyed]

Very cool. Reminds me of classic flying cars, the spinners from Blade Runner, and Speed Racer all at the same time.

[Dannylonglegs]

I actually prefer the mod. This is a very nice entry! Very well shaped and smooth as a speeder aught-be! Great work!
