Love the windows on the top deck - very sharp.

Quick question - is there a practical reason you went with the blue door/window panels (eg harder to cut?) lower down, or was it purely aesthetics?

Either way it works, makes it look like a vehicle that had been retrofitted/modified for comfort.

The windows are sharp on this side, but I measured wrong and the plastic card fell short by about 2-3mm on the far side. So I've cut the bottom of the windows out on the far side and I'll green stuff it neat (hopefully! :'()

It was purely laziness with the doors/windows! I have a bundle of computer screens from Antenocities Workshop I've been using for my buildings for MC1. It saved me intricately cutting all those fiddly bits!

Where's your commitment?

 ;) :)

Thought I recognised those screens - it's a good use of them.

Thanks Colin!

Yeah, the far side doesn't have the same balconys as this side, but it does have windows. Bigger computer screen ones than the ones used for the windows/doors on this side, but it's a fairly boring side to picture than this one!

Cheers guys!

And after the BSC you start mass-producing these perhaps? :D

Great start and continuation as well. How about that underside/motor thing that keeps it in the air, any pics/plans yet?
