I showed wife she made a face let out a groan knowing full well that was her future

Wait, do we have the same wife?

When I'm all excited about my (or another) build and my wife finds out its about a bike groans probably the same way, not lost in translation

Love the updates Kingfish! I enjoy seeing you enjoy the bike and ride around town.

Believe it or not, my wife makes a similar sound, when she finds out that I'm working on a new bike again...

I like it without the lights as well.

Straight off the sides of the speed rail, might be the ticket if you wanted them. Maybe spaced out an inch or two.

 

[ingola]

I like it better without the lights. There's too much going on there with the little engine and lights

I agree with Matti there's a fine line between cool and corny lights kind of looked like mouse ears if you must have lights I'd find another way.

 

[BobbyStillz]

Light option two. Below bumper but at the edges.

Maaaaybe option 2 if you run bobbed fenders?

 

[Oldbiscuit]

I still like the twin headlight, but higher up to where the bottom edge of the lights are even with the bottom edge of the radiator shell. Maybe spaced out a 1/2” on each side.

Reminds me a bit of my TrikeTor shape, you’re missing a wheel. Looks good, and outside the box art.

 

[handyandy1100]

Kinda cool, low and to the outside, but I agree with the others probably better just to leave the lights off.

No surprise that the RRB Wife Bike Groan is a universal phenomenon.

I can see a little similarity in the streamlined shells we used. yours was a good deal bigger than this car shell, hence the need for the extra wheel to balance it out .

Thanks for the input on the lights guys. I'm 99% sure that I'm not gonna use them though. I just like the clean lines without them so much more.

That 1%...

I forgot to clean Queenfish's little Dahon the other day. Here it is.

Having fun after dinner playing with a roll of crepe paper and scotch tape. First time using this for mockups, but it is so super easy to fold a d stretch and manipulate from my minds eye.

Here is one of my inspiration cars whose paint scheme hit me right away when I saw it a month and a half ago.

 

[Oldbiscuit]

But notice the headlights ….

But notice the headlights ….

But that is because it is an actual car.
My build is just a funky abstract that mimics some elements of a car.
My takeaway from this particular car is the paint scheme and even that I don't plan to copy exactly.

 

[kingfish254]

Stared at the rough color fill and scallops for a while in the dark contemplating how to transition from the red cowl back into the scallops and this idea popped in my head. Something along the lines of parallel curved scallops in front. We'll see if it pans out. Something to get my brain going.

That! Do that!

Ok this drawing is trash (trying to draw with precision on my phone ), but what if you pull the line up and around the stickshift, like so...

Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem with that is the stickshift is not in the center. It is completely right of center.

Ahhh, bummer
