[MOC] Clone Scout Speeder - Alternate Build of 2 x 75378 BARC Speeder Escape

[Wurger49]

LEGO BARC Speeders have a history of being a bit on the larger side compared to other minifigure-scale vehicles.  I recently combined two sets to create a two-seater scout speeder.  The coolest part? The lamp post actually becomes the antennas for the bigger speeder!

No, that is not at all "the coolest part", you've destroyed the greatest part of the set for a simple antenna, what have you done, is nothing sacred in the world? 

 

Jokes/my love for the lamppost side build nonwithstanding, this is a wonderful alt build. Simultaneously a good joke about the BARCS being oversized, what with using them as pontoons and all, and a great scout speeder type build in itself. It feels like a lighter, faster TX-130.

Haha, how could I have taken apart the lamp post! A lot of people have said the resemblance to the TX-130, which I  totally missed during the design phase, but indeed you are right!
