[Raul_Perez]

This is way too cool.

5th E is one of my faves.

Thanks, Wayne!! Yeah...I watched the movie again today!

It might be done by then...either way, I'll bring it for you to see.

I have yet to see that movie.

AZIZ LIGHT....ahhh very good aziz

What a great break from the world of wheels! You picked the perfect body for this car vehicle. The Stude really lends itself well to the smooth sides and missing wheel openings.

Cha-Ching. Another winner

[Jantrix]

This is great Raul. I've been kicking around the idea of using the Revell 49 Merc for something like this. Keep at it.

Yea, the 49 Merc would look good as a wheel-less flying car..so would the Nash or Hudson from around '50 when they had the really low wheelwell openings...

Thanks, Alyn!! Yeah, this has been a lot of fun!!

Actually, I started with the Revell '49 Merc first...but I only got as far as the conceptual work in PowerPoint. I was going to do a "cab-forward" design, but I never actually started cutting the body.

Maybe I'll start on it next...

That car is Super Green! Now all it needs is some decals advertising either "Gemeni Croquets" or "Phloston Paradise"!!

(btw, is stud muffin really your middle name?)

[curt raitz]

here's an idea...

[John Teresi]

Raul.......this is going to be sweet!!!!!!!........can`t wait.

[Raul_Perez]

I really like that one!! Hmmm...where can I get the jet-like side pods without spending too much $$ ??

Thanks, Charles and John!!

Chris Tucker was pretty wild in that movie, and yes, my middle name IS Stud Muffin!

Awesome idea from an awesome movie! I am watching with full attention!

[Clay]

For some reason I wasn't watching this one any more. Any updates yet Raul?

[Ryan S.]

This is great. Fantastic concept and amazing execution. Well done. Can't wait to see this finished. I've got to watch this movie again now too!

It's almost done...I'm working on it during commercials while we're watching America's Got Talent...

This is great. Fantastic concept and amazing execution. Well done. Can't wait to see this finished. I've got to watch this movie again now too!

Thanks, Ryan!! Yeah...I watched the movie again yesterday.

Check the 5th Element folder on my Fotki site for a few cool cityscape pics from the special effects DVD that came with the movie. There's a picture of the hover craft repair center that I don't think appears in the movie.

So does america have talent?

[Raul_Perez]

This one is about 95% done. I still need to add the headlight lenses, make a new hinge for the hood, finish the detail on the bottom and give it one last cleanup.

The overall look is exactly what I was looking for when I started this quick fill in project.

Any guesses on what the plate stands for? Yeah...the "KD" portion is pretty easy...

The Vette interior really helps sell the 2 seater concept for this build.

The engine bay is a little more spartan than I wanted, but the few information plaques help add a bit of color and detail to the look under the hood.

This one should be "Under Glass" tomorrow evening...unless I get a bit lazy and put it off until Thursday or Friday...

[Dr. Cranky]

Wow, I am loving this one. Great idea and execution. Keep it going.

[LAone]

looks great. like everything about it. one of a kind.

as for the plate number, it's the year that they are in. pretty much when leeloo was "reborn" my fav movie, watch it every time it comes on tv..

[Raul_Perez]

Thanks, Virgil!! I thought of weathering it, but the 2nd concept for the car was that this was something given to Korben as a gift after he helped save the world

Fantastic! One of the more original ideas I've seen in a long time.
