Comic book
Back at the build shed, the team have an almost complete components list, including a van roof, two engines, some fans and some truck canvass. They set about designing the layout of their craft, when scavenger Andy returns from the 'heap dragging a large polystyrene block, perfect for a lovely fan cowling. Andy cuts an air duct hole in the van roof and Turbo welds a mount for the front and rear engines, while Trickett fashions his version of a hovercraft skirt.
