ROCKET VAN!Rocket Van Started with a Revell Deals Wheels Van. The Huge Rear Wheel Wells were filled in and cut out to fit smaller tires. Wallace & Gromit are the Pilots of the Van!  Rocket Parts came from an AMT Star Wars X-Wing Fighter.  Power comes from a Ferrari-Rocket Hybrid Engine!  Rocket Van is equipped with Vertical Thrusters so if traffic slows up, you can rise above it and Fly Away...  More Photos Coming!

As always, Ira, an incredible creation. Altering the stance to use two sets of front wheels was a perfect choice for a Wallace and Gromit rig (as well a perfect choice of pilots) and a nice change from the conventional. Then again, you are not conventional. ;D Great paint, great decals, great fins, and great engine (BTW, I'm glad you didn't use some kind of bubble in the side ports, it allows a clear view of that engine). Glad I live in a world where a flying VW Bus (on a stick) could make any sense, and that you make it a reality  ------------------ I only wish I was allowed to eat cheese. |
