Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Long overdue carving.

This COVID 19 pandemic has allowed me to take a bit of time to create a Tiki Racer garden ornament.

Inspired by Mr Tiki, nd a toy I bought t a boot fair years go.



So I went down to my -lie of blocks.



Pulled a special one out/



Basic design



Excess cut away.



Of course cutting this part between the wheels will be interesting



Baby steps.



Seat cut out.



Quick prototype Tiki driver from an off cut.



Shaped.



And in place.



At this point I come inside.

Tomorrow the hard part starts, carving and defining the wheels, recessing the drivers cab and seat.

Plus getting the front and rear curves just right.

Later.
