Title: (AGGC) Anti-Gravity Go-Cart
Post by: tiking on January 14, 2019, 04:14:53 PM: For this conversion, I used the Revell Ford GT vehicle and did some major surgery to it. The original engine was very basic block engine. But the overall design made this a sweet candidate for a super bad and awesome looking anti-gravity vehicle. Lots of small misc. from my 'box of tricks', was used to give the engine a more brutal look.

The anti-gravity pods simple scratch builds using odds materials from household materials and parts from other kits. So far, I think the look says it all. Hope to finish this up in a week or two. waiting for a figure to go along with this bad***! See you when it is done. Enjoy the photos.

GEO = Geosynchronous/Geostationary Earth Orbit; 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above the Earth's surface (simply: an orbit whereby the orbiting object is stationary over a given point on the Earth's surface)

Nice car, by the way! :smiley: :smiley: ;)
