mbdesignart Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Some may recall me posting in the Discussion section a photo of a Gatsby Mobility Scooter, well as part of the Beyond The Box SIG it sparked anotherr mad idea and resulting fun build. Wallace is from the Airfix Motorbike & Sidecar kit, the wheels are off ebay for RC trucks with the remainder being scratch built. I hope you like it. No WIP I was laughing too much to take photos. 15 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Brilliant! I love the silly ones and they don't come much sillier than this. It's good to know that not everyone is taking themselves seriously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 That's absolutely brilliant I'd love to have a crack at something like this, but I don't have the imagination (or the skill) to carry it out That's really made me chuckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLC1966 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Great build, where the heck did you come up with the idea from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Thanks for the generous comments. The idea came about from constantly dodging the 100mph pavement chariots. If you like this kind of thing then have a look at Beyond The Box SIG on Facebook. We all wear those jackets that fasten at the back 🙃 This will now be devolped to fit in with the Wacky Races and Caravan & Camping themes for the group build for SMW 2021. It's good to get a break from the normal builds and decal artwork, try it you may like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Mobility scooter jousting and Caravan and Camping modelling themes. Only on 'Brit'modeller! Excellent 'gizmology'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Wallace & Gromit, my favourite TV characters, anything about these two is brilliant, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nheather Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Love it, made me smile. But then my technical nerdiness cut in and I noticed that the battery is wired directly to the battery so the motor is always on, one speed, one direction - until the battery runs out.

mbdesignart Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Nigel, did you not spot the Wi-Fi on/off switch buried inside the motor housing and the touch screen control on the dash? The lance also doubles as a lightning condcutor, but don't tell H&S. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
