                         I was watching an anime called RedLine. Super cool, completely drawn by hand, weird sci fi-ish racing movie. I really enjoyed it. Right after watching it went looking for kits. Didnt find any. so i went for a kit bash. It started with parts from a gundam, some old toy motorcycle and that Star Trek Kazon vessel that every one is given to by a friend because your friend knows you build models and see's it for a few bucks at a garage sale, not knowing the kit sucks but you are gracious and accepting anyway.

                        Not many in progress shots.

                        I see a few things i missed after i took these next pics, so consider it about 97% complete.

                        Thanks for looking

                        Very, very cool, Doc!

                        I'm not sure how the driver will be able to exhale without a windscreen, but very, very cool. :)

                        Kind of a pod racer look to it, I like it.

                        Excellent use of that Kazon kit - I have one of those too - seems it may eventually serve a purpose after all.

                         

                        Nice looking bash.

                        Thanks all. It was a fun build. I'm running low on "stuff" for another project, so i might actually build a kit. =P

                        I love the details, it looks very purposefull, not like random greebles.

                        And the whole model is well balanced in its looks/shape.

                        Looks good, it just needs a stand to give it a hover look.

                        Very cool but it reminds me more of a Reaver ship from "Serenity"
