Milk Trike

[showrodjohn]

Well after a long break from building I decided to start with something easy. I decided to build Milk Trike but guess what I cannot build anything stock.
I decided that I did not like the size of the body so I decided to widen it. So I have started to widen the roof and I have completed the floor by widening as you can see the original compared to the new section. I was not a fan of the front headlight so I have started to build a custom one. I think I will paint the headlight body colour.
More to come when I start on the rear.

The photos are not that great as I was in a hurry to share.

I used this foam cup to make the diamond tuft walls.


I used black felt as the carpet.

Thanks everyone. I have done a bit more to the trike.

I have finished the roof and rear by just recovering them.
I added a Maltese Cross rear window photo copied the decal and used that as a template.
The rear pipes that look like exhausts will be the brake lights.
I made rear springs out of bright wire.
I installed a rear chain only because I like it.
I widened the front windscreen.
Some more bits to add prime sand and then paint.

What did you use to imprint the styrofoam?
