Hoverbike

[kennetzel]

Okay, I did my best on this. Like I said, there is not a lot of pics out there of one of these. I found a pic of a toy with one of the figures sitting on it. It was rather blurry, so I worked around the figure and did what I could. I know some toys tend to simplify a design or even stray completely away from the original. Can anyone say Remco Lost in Space Robot? Or how about a green Interceptor. Anyway, using what I could find, this is what I came up with.

Honestly, I have never seen the show. LOL...I have no clue as to what you are talking about.

Okay...I did a search on Google and I found a pic of the Model T. I'll see what I can do.

Love the hoverbike, out of interest i think we saw only blue and red in the series, who gets the purple?

[Derek Eaton]

I do not know if Anderson shows can be credited with creating the hoverbike but I noticed the idea turned up again a few years ago in LunarJim which is a Canadian Series shown by the BBC.

Okay...I did a search on Google and I found a pic of the Model T. I'll see what I can do.If you've never seen the show kennetzel I recommend you buy it because it's a classic. I'm looking forward to seeing your drawing of Father Unwin's Model T!

[kennetzel]

I'll see if Netflix has it. I'm a member there. If I like them, I buy them. I did that wih UFO. Netflix is great for that...you can preview something before you sink the big bucks into it.

Okay, I am in the process of drawing the Model T. It proposes some challenges. One main one, in Corel, you can't draw hoops. the old tires are hoops with spokes. So I have to devise a way to do the tires. If I draw them as circles, I will have to draw everything individually what is seen through the spokes. Also, some wheels you can see through to the back ground. So I can make white triangles to go insde the wheel, but then if I ever import it to a background, you won't be able to see through them. You'll have white blobs between the spokes. BUT...doing this kind of thing is always a learning experience, so I welcome the challenge and hope for the desired results.

So this Model T is the most challenging project for you so far, kennetzel. Judging by the finished item on the other thread it was well worth it. You've done a great job. 10 out of 10.:)
