Dud Bolt's Podracer

While this is a fan creation rather than an official retail set, builders inspired by the Midi-scale Star Wars aesthetic might want to pick up an LEGO display case to showcase custom starships.

The model cannot support it's own weight and is dependent on the stand. This is the second Podracer I have made after Mawhonic's and I am eager to...
