Still a lot to do.

Last two years

Here are 2013 and 2014 respectively:
I towed the x-wing with the John deere mower/tie fighter.




Last year was just carboard bodies over a tractor and jeep.

Well done, dad!
I've done similar to Power Wheels tractors and such for my boys:

Nice job billyvray

 

[billyvray]

Thanks guys. It's just a little cardboard and packing tape for the most part.
This year I'm trying make the john Deere mower look like a helicopter for the kiddo-commandos to jump out of.....

 

[Ookpik]

Awesome!

 

[Poboy kartman]

Hmmmm....I think maybe I've come up with an idea for a "wooden kart" build-off !!!! No metal allowed....HF wheels manditory....must last one whole night!!!!

 

[2SlickNick]

I have the main frame and mounts made all out of 1/2" square and angled steel.
I cut mount for frame. I will mount the boat frame 8"s higher than chassis.
Still a lot to do... Now I am playing ketschup...

 

[2SlickNick]

This is the faux wood panel...

Do actually mean catch up???? Or are you actually playing in ketchup?????

Playing catch up, but ketschup just sounded fun.

Lol to myself is...." ketchup and liquor

 

[2SlickNick]

Boat frame tacked on 8" above chassis.

 

[2SlickNick]

Another view.

 

[Desertduler]

Looking good!

 

[2SlickNick]

Thanks. It is getting a little heavier than expected, Lol. I should have mounted wheel closer for better weight distribution.

 

[2SlickNick]

Adding some wood paneling.

 

[2SlickNick]

Slightly differrnt view.
