i have decided to make this saucer with a self contained power source, the lights will activate when the saucer is picked up via a micro switch in the tail wheel strut.
keeping it simple this time just head and tail lights.

another new saucer taking shape

mainly constructed from perspex and epoxy putty with brass and aluminium tubes.

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.

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
