Spider Machine GP-7
A Spider-Man may not need a car for fighting crime. That never stopped any from having one, though.
The Spider Machine GP-7 was the main vehicle of Japanese Spider-Man Takuya Yamashiro from the 1978-79 tv series. Barely having anything spider-like, the car was fitted with mandibles (which are insect features not spider ones) and called the Spider Machine. While not as famous as Spidey's giant mech Leopardon, the car is an iconic part of the series.
This model is 8 studs wide. My design goal was to make it scale well with the official 1966 Batmobile. The vehicle's weird shape gave me a bit of a headache with how it suddenly becomes wider behind the front wheels, but that also provided space to fit two seats in.
Mandibles are yellow in the original car, but part 16770 does not exist in yellow. Will be replaced should the part ever come up in yellow.
