Outstanding work! It's nice to see the cloud car (one of my favorite vehicles) getting the kind of "all-star" treatment normally reserved for the fighters.

Spent the afternoon milling the plugs for engine cover.

Nice to have a little break from virtual modelling to practical work!
Test fit of the engine parts. Just need to tidy up a bit and glue the parts down.

Just a bit off topic but what a cool trophy! Its for best of CES but wouldn't be out of place used for Star Wars models.

Small Update on the Cloud car, Installed the bottom risers and acrylic plate for the base of the bottom pulls.
Now I can start to clamp the two half together.

That's looking really sweet, I'm about to start my first build the Probe pods, not something ive tried before but getting good advise from a few friends on here and I would like to say thanks to them Phil, Ralphee and Niels. Hope I can do this build as good as you guys but if I get anywhere near what you guys can do I will be more than happy.

I wonder if they picked the color because of you know what.
