LSP_K2 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 There are some obvious limits, but also exceptions here and there. For instance, full-on rockets (like the German V-2) are not considered to be aircraft, though they do fly, but are unmanned, so technically not LSP's, whereas the V-1, also unmanned, does appear here now and again, usually teamed in a Mistel sort of arrangement, at least a part of which is manned, and is therefore considered as at least part LSP. To me, the real oddball exception is drones; while not manned as such, are nonetheless piloted by humans (albeit it remotely), so are also considered LSP's. If one could prove that the Disney car could actually fly, and the scale was correct, it would certainly be allowed here. Otherwise, just dump it in the non-LSP area, which is fine.

LSP_Ray Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Yup, good 'ole Hervé Villechaize. Tattoo in MWTGG, and I think the same name on Fantasy Island. My mom and sister actually met him at a New York restaurant once. I guess he was quite a flirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
