With tongue in cheek, on a roll with another MOC:

Three Technic ½ pin pieces and three wood tile pieces were added (more on the tiles later); everything else comes from the 6743 Street Speeder.

“THE GREEN DEMON” DELUXE LANDSKIMMER

The LS67 was a short-lived land-hugging skimmer that tried to capture the luxury market. Design and instrumentation was top-notch, but the color scheme failed to entice buyers. Some took to calling it “the family truckster” for reasons lost to ancient history; the optional Yaxxle wood “beautification” package didn’t help to improve the vehicle’s reputation as an ugly if functional ride for forest moons and planets.*

The skimmer used a small gauge repellemitter to generate the field necessary to keep the vehicle above the surface, and the combined field energy of three of the devices made for a smooth ride when sheathed by rubberized coil wraps that dampened and dispersed the effect. Stabilizer wings and forward-facing anti-debris railrods kept things on the straight and narrow, while an optional DOT (Disc Optical Technology) system installed in the spacious open cabin allowed pilots to enjoy their favorite music or dotcasts while on the go.

*After finishing this MOC, I still had three wood tile pieces left over from my previous Scoutrider MOC based on 31075 – Outback Adventures, and decided to throw them on for that ‘chef’s kiss’ touch.
