Graham Windle: VACFORMERACHA!!
Or, the black art of scratch building!
I'll let Graham Windle explain this thingy!
"Nessesity is the mother of invention - or is that Frank Zappa? I have been trying to
get a Lil' Cucarcha for some time now without success. I can't even get the imitation one
from REH, as I'm told they have no motors available, and won't supply without.
So all I had was a chassis frame and apparently no chance of a body, until an internet friend
offered to lend me one to clone. Here are the results so far - I've even cloned the chassis!
The front wheels are actually recycled rollers from an old desk drawer.
When I've got it finished, I might put a constuction article together,
if you think it might go down well."
Would our readers be interested? I'd sure like to see behind the scenes of this magic trick!
