Speederbike

While waiting for 2x grey spray paint and 2x walnut brown spray paint to arrive I have done some more detailing all by hand I have no 3d printer so it's all been blood sweat and tears.

I drew the design took my time and I've made it a true size and it's pretty strong too

Using the 2 matching foot panels I made I then attached them either side to light but strong metal poles

Another angle of nose of the speeder I made small nose piece of speeders bodys nose out of wood today and made the designs in it by drilling multiple holes and then allowing the jigsaw through the many holes to eventually cut away the rest of the wood. More long-winded than other methods but rewarding and it looks good I think.
 
Sods law I ran out of black spray paint to give new wooden addition a covering of black which will make it look way better so trip to local diy the mora I think

Creating the seat is proving annoying would b easier to buy one that's ready made . like from a motor bike or something but hard to find one that's matches
