Dave might hurt me, but I saw this, and thought of him (and his KoolWheelz):

The Citroen Centipede Is A 10-Wheeled Tyre Testing Monster

Wanna see some more 'Different' Citroens Elliott?

These are what they call Loadrunners. The original concept on the DS chassis, were used as fast newspaper distribution vehicles, but they make fantastic camper vans or minibuses.

Never seen such (Loadrunners) before. Some interesting (wild) conversions. Many of them remind me of ambulances and hearses. Were the Loadrunners successful in their original intended role?

I was looking for "A-10 monster truck" which brought up "a 10-wheeled monster truck". Gotta watch what you put in Google...

Dave - like the landspeeder so far. I can see the windshield being a problem, maybe some OHP film instead of a printed part ?

I'm a little perplexed by the design of the landspeeder windscreen.
I would hazard a guess that the builders already had a plastic bubble...
and rather than custom make a windscreen to fit, they just used that bubble.

It is a bit too large and reaches back so far to hamper entry and exit of the vehicle.
Its really quite cramped.
And yet, it doesn't seem to offer very good face and head protection.
In fact, if you stopped quick, you might smash your face in!




Anyway, as I said, I have created a fairly simple two part paper windscreen.
Curve, glue and fit to the body.

You could also use it as a template for a clear plastic windscreen.

Or, if you have the correct size bubble in plastic, you can trim and fit your own windscreen.
