Junkrat's Riptire - Made From a Real Tire

[odieblock]

Hello RPF,

I recently found a brand new tire on the street, next to a trash can, I saw it and immediately thought "I could make junkrat's riptire from Overwatch." I made some concept art of what the riptire looks like, but I don't have exact measurements yet, but I will soon. Here are some pictures. I will post updates on my progress and what I am doing in the comments below. SO READ THE COMMENTS!



Thank you.

Update #1

Hello RPF,
I have finished cutting most of the parts for the main look of the build. They were made out of EVA foam/floor mats and where cut on a band saw. I used a circle jig from a ILTMS/I like to make stuff video. (link to that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAkwHkUeZCc&t=357s ) I have not glued the pieces together. I still need to make and paint the rest. Here are some photos.

Update #2

Hello, again
I have made some good progress an gluing and most of the set up/prep work. I have glued most pieces together on the main side (picture A) but I still need to work on the vent and the trim. The other side needs a lot of work though. I did all of the beveling by hand with a extendable box cutter and it turned out okay but not great. Also does anyone have an idea on where I should buy or what I should make the chain out of?

Update #3

Hello RPF,

The riptire has been going well. I thought that I had posted a while back but apparently I hadn't. So I am going to fill you all in. I had made the spikes, which I have made a post about on how to make them, and I have also glued, plasti-dipped, and begun painting. My computer hard drive was corrupted so I don't have many of the photos that I used to have. So I cannot show you what it looked like before painting. for the silver that I used it is a Rust-Oleum metallic silver. It is a very very silver color, like shiny silver. For the yellow I also used a Rust-Oleum stops rust yellow. I don't know the exact color, because it does not say it on the can. Since I don't have much else to say here are some photos. Also I think the spikes look like gnomes. lol

Looks cool. I might try something similar. I like your build so far.

Update #4

Dear RPF,

I have been making progress with the riptire. I have done all of the weathering and details except for the chain, which I just bought today. Just so you know I over did the weathering on the "pac-man" yellow circle so I repainted it. For the silver "moto" and outline I used a paint pen. Also for the circle in the middle of "pac-man" I used Nicole's 72719 orange acrylic paint. For the black wash I used Nicole's black paint and some brown of the same brand. Everything got a black wash and some orange and brown every now and then. I have put a clear coat on the whole thing and for that I used a Rust-oleum matte clear enamel. I am planning on adding Velcro on the tire for the spikes and the side to attach onto so that I can take them off for any reason. If you know how I show apply the sticky back Velcro to the tire then please tell me. I am going to add two bolts that will hold the chain to the tire as seen in the reference photos. Talking about the chain I got some 4 foot white plastic chain from Home Depo. If you have any ideas then please tell me in the comments. FYI I have started school so I will not be able to work on the riptire as much as I want to. Thank you.
