mickey lee lane saw my space monkey video !

yes indeed the man himself saw it and and likes what i did , i love this track its a rip roaring garage classic, i still play it loud and often.
my only regret is the original hi res version of this movie no longer exists, my computer suffered a massive meltdown shortly after its completion.
i still have some of the scenes in unedited form but not all of them.
i may return to the project at a later date, the old youtube compression played havoc with my artwork.

vespa flies again

Click for bigger (146 kb)
put the motor back in yesterday, fired second kick rides nice.
few little jobs to do like badges and bulbs but otherwise pretty sorted.

bringing the vespa back to life.

and this is what it looked like before, not one single bit of it wasn't dented.

1966 vespa 150 super, just got round to painting it

the one eyed astropus

made from acrylic plastic fiberglass brass steel p38 filler and epoxy putty.
working lights front and rear with a strobe exhaust nozzle and cockpit illumination.
2 aa batteries in the base power up the lights.
the eyelashes are plucked from a clothes brush.
the wing mirrors are made from pieces of mini disc and sparkle nicely.

strobing rocket exhaust

not sure if im gonna go with the fake rocket exhaust but it looks ok from a distance.
i put a strobing led in the tailpipe, the fire effect is made from a mutilated electrical screwdriver handle and some thick red plastic lighting gel cut into strips.

nearly there

i used to hate fiddling about putting leds into stuff but i cant get enough of em now

astropus rocket ship

work in progress, made from a battery operated roulette wheel p38 filler, a kids snowdome kit and milliuput.

using some of the booty bought from the local pound shop.
