Mind game

Both seats are now finished. At least this far, I might ad some things later but that is another update.

I have started building the lower part of the robot. Things are moving quite slow at the moment because I don't have a clear picture of how I want it to look like. I'm trying out different ideas as I go right now, I think I'm on the right track but I can only decide that when I get the whole picture.

Planking of the first top half is almost finished. This is where the mind game goes in on full effect. One part of you doubt every step of the build and the other half is care free and sure that everything is going to be great! Should I continue planking the other side or should I start with the shape of underside to make sure it turn out as I want it?

First seat

The first seat is finished! I'm still working on the other interior details: dashboard and sidepanels.

  

This weekend I'm planing to start working on some of the parts for the underside of the body and the lower body. But first I need to visit materialbutiken for some more supersculpey and wood.

Cockpit

I have begun working with the cockpit. I did the floor and the walls i the same manner as the rest of the body. This time I used 10x1mm pinewood. I used a 1.5x1.5mm strip around the edge (inside and outside) to make a rounded edge. I'm still working on some different designs for the instrument panel.

Next up was the seats! I had a hard time choosing the design but in the end I went for a Hot Rod style seat. I made it in aluminium and wood, the wood parts are just a frame for the seat foam.

First test with the latex fabric as leather imitation.
