Commander Turtle Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) "Are you sure this was the right vehicle for the job?" "Are you kidding me? This is a '69 Hellby Cobra! It's got more horsepower than there are horses!" "Yes, but we are searching for the missing scientist, Dr. Fabian Killjoy. We don't want to be fast, we want to be thorough." *vroom* "Who knew rescue missions were so much fun!" "By the way, I hope you realise that the Cobra has only one seat!" ~~ "Oh my goodness, it's a long way down! How did this even happen? I mean, I understand why the reactor exploded, but how did I land in such an absurdly precipitous point while completely unscathed. Wait, what's that sound?" "The cavalry has arrived! Jump on!" "DO YOU THINK YOU COULD SLOW DOWN?!" "NO!" ~~~ Enjoyed this one. I used to build a lot of cars so this was trying to make a flying vehicle using the same styling cues. My first foray into some forced perspective. Stuck it on a ball joint so I could have fun with the shots Flickr Edited June 21, 2015 by Commander Turtle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robuko Posted June 22, 2015 Nice hubcaps and I really like the shaping on the front section. This looks exactly like a scene from Jupiter ascending! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commander Turtle Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks a lot folks! This looks exactly like a scene from Jupiter ascending! I've not seen it, but perhaps I should.
