I was thinking of this humby but I couldn't picture it enclosed.

The only way maybe to do it is customise it from the front so you don't use the original windscreen and maybe use plasticard?

I would love one of these to fit into the rear hatch of the pirate ship ! but it will be too tall with a cosmic cruiser top on it.

What about grafting on a Star Wars vehicle for the back?

ok so this has all gone tits up !

I experimented with several types of enclosed backs on an AF5 but whichever way it just looks odd.

the top of the vehicle is quite skinny compared to the sides, so whichever way I try to enclose it the front end just looks wrong, odd and bastardy.

soo .... the enclosed back idea is officially scrapped ! although I do challenge anyone else to have a go ! and see if they have more success.

anyway any other ideas for the back end ? I think if its going to be SWF then I should just add some special weapons .... although I dont have any !

I thought Scooby was giving you a scrap AF5 for SWF mate? Ok if you are using a Shadowtrak you could use it as some knid of tracking vehicle. Maybe mount a largish radar dish on the back. Or what about a Lance or Dart with a small radar dish fitted to one of them?

I have decided to make the Shadowtrak into a hovercraft, so im now experimenting with the AF5 and saving the Trak until my flotation collar arrives.

so the AF5 will be my new SWF vehicle ..... once I get something sorted for the back end.
