Just finished this locostwood lotus for my 1 year old Grand-Son. For reference it's 18" long & 7" wide.
I think he'll like it.

Yo, N-V-C
I'm afraid the bodywork I'm puttin' on my "full size" Locost won't look as good as that does!
Well done, Sir!
:cheers:

I'm particularly impressed by how well you replicated the Cd of the original. Not many craftsmen would go to the trouble.

About the same amount of trunk space too. I think he will be very pleased with it!

Very nice job. :cheers:

When my car became a roller, it used the very same powerplant. Push it here - Push it there. Human power is well suited for a Locost.

If a Locost is a copy of a Lotus, and this is a copy of a Locost, and Xerox was "the" name in copiers, then should it be called a Xerocost?
