Battlestar Galactica/Buck Rogers Hover Vehicle
- Thread starter Rhaven Blaack
- Start date
Short sitrep: While catching up on several older projects I have started to write the instructions for the Hover Mobile. While looking at the model closely RB and I came to the conclusion that this is a fair weather vehicle. It has neither a windshield nor a roof protecting the crew from rain and sandstorms. So I was wondering how a slightly improved (bad-weather-proof) version would look like. This is what I came up with:
The railing prevents a direct connection between the two covers, so they are separate. Everything could be wrapped up like a tent. The front cover could be stored in the trunk and could have self-spanning and self-smoothing scifi hitech plastic windows. Considering that there are flexible screens which can be folded and rolled up without issues even today this could actually work. Moreover, this modification would bring the model awfully close to the SolarCar from "Logan's Run".

No windscreen wiper... or viper!? Or is that special space-glass?
The vehicle is so bare-bones - I'd say, leave that to the co-pilot.No windscreen wiper... or viper!? Or is that special space-glass?
