badchriss Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 And if they do,how do those Plastic Sheep arrive,maybe with a Taxi? Well,i can`t answer these Questions for sure,but i guess most People got the Reference to the Movie "Blade Runner" that was based on the Book "Do Androids dream of electric Sheep?" Sure,we all admire the cool dark blue hovering Police Spinner or maybe even Deckards infamous Sedan. But what about all the other Cars that showed up randomly in the Movie? One of these Cars is the Metrokab.This Taxi might not be pretty but it gets the Job done and if you insist on arriving at Home dry without getting soaked in the Rain then this should be your Mode of Transportation by Choice. 20161108_210048 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210108 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210120 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_184330 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_184321 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210339 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210320 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210305 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210230 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210211 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210201 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210150 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr 20161108_210145 by Christian Weber, auf Flickr I used various Pictures and Concept Drawings as a Guideline on how to build my own Version. This Car perfectly represents how they imagined futuristic Cars in the early 80s.Covered Wheels,Vents and ribbed Surfaces everywhere and don`t forget those massive Bumpers. I really hope you Guys like my newest MOC and it would be nice to see some Comments. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Instantly recognizable, well done! I do think the 2x3 panel would look better in trans Black then trans blue. Quote
-zenn Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Love it! The choice of wheels and shaping makes it awesome. And the top with those 9 thingamajigy's is a nice touch of detail. Quote

Yeah i know.But i was out of trans black Panels and the small Brick Shop i often visit to get Parts for my MOC didn`t have any either. 55 minutes ago, -zenn said: Love it!

Glad you love it.Yeah those 9 Button Thingies add some Texture to the Roof,even if i have no Idea what they are.The original Vehicles have them and i first thought these might be Batteries of some sort which doesn`t make sense since most Metrokabs feature a Chimney-like Exhaust.Or maybe they are Batteries and those Cabs are Hybrids.I mean those Cars are covered in Vents of all Sorts,so something needs cooling and fresh Air (let aside the Aircleaners for the Passengers) Quote

A wordplay on the booktitle 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' by Philip K. Dick, on which the movie Blade Runner is based upon. Quote
Memo Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 That is really cool. For the longest time I have been trying to build something from Blade Runner other than Spinner. Thanks so much. Quote
