BUILD LORE

Luxury. Class. Speed. The Vuffade Spire luxury speeder features two comfortable luxury seats, one for you, and one for your driver. This fast, and elegant vehicle is perfect for taking you to those classy business meetings in style, and speeding away after a victorious deal before they know what hit them.

BEHIND THE BUILD

This build is inspired by classic cars from the mid-twentieth century. At this time vehicles had a very rounded presence with chrome and silver detailing. Within a cyberpunk world, I thought something like would stand out as a classy style reserved for the wealthy elites so utilized to create a sleek, two-seat speeder. Flat silver surfboards (Part ID: 6075) were elements I wanted to have running as doors down the side since they capture that elegant curvature already, and this set the size limitation of the build. With it being something I wanted to keep as thin as possible, side by side seats were eliminated early in my design process.  Rounded turquoise elements were then used as the primary color, since I had  some large 5x5 round corner elements of that shade on hand (Part ID: 24599). Ice skate pieces in flat silver were placed all around the build  for curving metal fins, and sleek, front grills.
