[MOC] DuneBug Racecar

[Nathan734]

A racing car-like model created for a stop motion that never was. The idea was born out of creating a vehicle with uneven wheel base widths (because of limited parts) and the colors are lime green because those were the parts on hand. The Power Miners stickers actually work towards the model's design in my opinion.

The model was reproduced in MLCAD (without stickers) and will be submitted to Rebrickable as well.

The windscreen is on a double hinge which allows it to open up despite limited space. The rear compartment is also hinged to allow access to the engine.

The car has both front lights and rear lights (on the MLCAD version). Unfortunately, no rear bumper is a weakness of this design.

EDIT: I'm also putting a dark blue version of this racecar on rebrickable with pieces that are marginally less rare and (hopefully) less expensive to procure.

It looks like a Batman car (whoops :{ )
