When I was a young child I had a dog that got run over by
a car. I was very sad. Later that night my daddy took me
out and bought me an ice cream cone then proceeded to tell
why animals and people sometimes die and why we just have
to learn to live with it. It made me feel better but I was
still sad that my poor little dog got run over by a car.

Is that what you wanted to hear ?

  "something"

  "anything"

  Nice flying pods. A nice sky scene with lots of white clouds would
look nice. Maybe tinged with orange from a sunset...

Why is it I think of a Drivers Ed. class.
But for a real question: was this rendered in a white background.  I ask
because of the texturing not seeming to show that (no reflection, radiosity)
and the top of the canopies looks strangely colored.
Real neat model.

I think i remember seeing two steering wheel drivers ed cars in the movies but
not in real life...
Yep... White background... I was happy that it did not change the models color
going from black to white... The canopy windows did change to a lighter blue
cus they are slightly reflective... No radiosity any where... The top of the
canopy is a separately colored white sphere in the blob structure...
I could use some detail but at its simple stage i am prod all the same...
Thanks...

Looks nice and interesting, like the twin-pod ship in Cloud City in "Star
Wars/The Empire Strikes Back" (though I do not remeber its proper name....).
Looking forward to see the final version soon.... :o)

if you aren't making a replica of the star wars car, this looks great. 
make it a storm V or IV cloud car.

Do you have any other resources for pictures to work from... I am not
sure in the differences between the different. cars...?? I do not want
them to be the same ... I like to practice artistic license... =)
I am thinking of buying a model from the toy store to work with...

  Something like that. Here are some pages with still shots from
"SW:TESB". While they don't show the Cloud Car amongst the clouds, some
shots do show the orange sunsets from an aerial vantage point.

Thanks i missed the Bespin picture... I like it... I will use it to model the
cloud atmosphere of the city...

I am using the other two for the model of the city... I have these on disk
already... =)

Got to get to work...
