How would you build it?
I had some fun building my Manx a couple of different ways and adding some colour changes in PhotoShop. Trying to work out which version of the Manx I want to build next.
Comments always welcome.

All of them look great!!! But I think I prefer the Classic Roof... very similar to the Puma Buggy which was used in the movie with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (Zwei wie Pech und Schwefel) [Click here] and [Click here]

Nice work as always from our Jedi Master of 3D printers
Liking the full cage a lot. Then it's probably the classic roof... I think these roofs are actual material in real life, are you able to show the textures and contours of a material roof .

Btw, if you want to know more about Buggy stuff.... [Click here] is one of the biggest information source.

All great, but the classic is my favourite.

Hey James, very nice work!
It's the classic flip roof for me! That full cage is a bit much, I think.

I agree with TamTom that all of them look great. I prefer the Classic Flip Roof though.

I love the classic roof. It really reminds me of the Monkees! Amazing stuff from shapeways. Great work Toykid!

What a beauty!!! Yes classic roof could be the best choice, but actually every option is simply superb! Congrats! And when you run this you have to listen the music 'Dune Buggy' made by the Oliver Onions for the movie with Spencer and Hill! Great song and movie, by the way! (in Italian is 'Altrimenti...ci arrabbiamo')

Whenever i think this one cannot come any better you're gonna proof me wrong! My vote goes for the flip roof-super sexy looking buggy,mate!!

Awesome!
I know the feeling of these boxes showing up (one with prototype parts for my FWD Buggy arrived yesterday) - it indeed feels great!
Just wondering, what material did you use for the body? I saw in an earlier model entry you use it both for mounting the servo (so it needs to be sturdy), yet you also got a glossy paint finish

Oh btw, for the roof I'd not take the classic one, it's too bulky and closed imo, and the full cage would need the flip roof I think

Full cage with flip roof, is my vote.

Looks like you'll have to make more just for the various roof designs?
Hondabiker
Wow. This is very very sweet, looks spot on. Flip roof in 3rd pic gets my vote, just looks very clean
berman
Flipper all the way! I think the bars are a bit thick on the cage but I am just nitpicking, they all look fabulous James, fantastic work!
Chiefjoel
Just start selling it already and see what happens
