Vacation Hobby Project

My idea of "playing with an old rusty bicycle"


The old rusty bike i'm talking about
Cardboard prototype

Special mechanism to move the rear wheel

Life size to judge the amount of material needed
Dismantling all the spokes in the wheels
Fitted a DIY customized acrylic in place of the spokes
Adding wire mesh to reinforce the foam which i am about to pour in

Putting the cardboard mould in place

Waiting for the foam to set
Cutting into shape
Sanding down
Giving it a good finishingApplied emulsion paint and some putty
Sand down when it dry

Some detailing

Spray some paint, inject some lifeAssembling all the parts together
Foam prototype
