So Guys what sort of vehicle should these happy little tread units go to? While I have a couple of ideas, I figured I would ask.
As for their construction they are dead easy to make. Use a round punch to form the "wheels". Then Laminate them to a bit of backing plastic card, and trim the plastic card to the shape of the tread unit flush with the wheels. Finally using a bit of flexible plastic card, in this case 1/4 by 0.01 strip, glue it in place around the wheels.
Additional track detail can be added at this point. I have considered lugs in the form of small T shaped rod. But simple raised plates wouldn't be much of a trick either.
Are they going to be used for a single vehicle?
ReplyDeleteSee that is part of the question... I have considered making bikes out of a single. or a jeep...
ReplyDeleteThat is why I am fishing for that golden idea...
Perhaps a snowcat type tractor unit
ReplyDeleteI thought that, but I just did something like that. I appreciate the suggestion though.
ReplyDeleteRecently, when I go through my collection of resource pics and all I find is Lego Landspeeders, or at least that is what I find myself pondering.
Usually it is in the middle of another project I get that "A-Ha!" of what to do, just hasn't been happening with these guys.
