Vehitle

[Beork]

For a sortof competition on the Mechalounge I decided to build a vehitle (http://www32.ocn.ne.jp/~water_site/mak/vehitle/)  
Scrounged some interesting parts from the box of plastic waste and started.
I want to try and use as little kit parts as possibly, mostly to clean out my boxes of random crap, but also because I always turn to kit parts while I have so many nice shapes and pieces that I neglect because I feel it too be too much work to make something out of it...



Glued the bunch together





Then I made some leg parts from 10 and 25 ml pipets, bent using a lighter, also made lumpy on purpose.


Dude's got a ball


And the parts that keep it in place.


Started building the leg wells too, now just need to find more parts for the legs

Looks like its going to be fun andinteresting, will be following with interest. I like your starting shapes and form

Always fun seeing something built from a bunch of scrap and junk. Off to a good start!

Can't wait to see where this leads

Added some plastic around the leg wells to create a raised edge and widen the vehitle a bit in the middle.



Then drilled, sawed and sanded a hole for the cockpit. Added walls and a chair (from a 1/20 racecar I think, doesn't fit 1/20 figures though...)


And started on a pilot (1/24 scale) using 1/24 legs and a 1/20 divers torso that was quite small for the scale.


Just some major gap filling and then it's on to puttying and mechanical detail.

Leggies!

Maybe a bit too long....





All made with leftover parts, culture loops, spoons, tea stirrers, pipets, umbrella parts, random plastic crap
