Won't lie - I thought of you specifically when I posted the thread. I figured the Lounge location would be the tip-off it wasn't for real.

(Though one day, maybe??)

Yup, windshield and many other details aren't quite right, eh?

I found an image with plan/profile/front/back dimensions and worked off that. As you can see, it did not fully translate! The funny thing: it wasn't until I took and looked at the pics that I noticed a few other issues with it.

Anyway, it was fun to make. Will be fun to see what Mother Nature does with it this week.

I posted a few more betterer pics in post #1.
