Runners


Going off the concept sketch below, I've built some cardboard mockups of how the runners are going to look. I've elongated the tail and used the bent pieces up front to loosely get and idea of the pipes for the foot pegs.

I haven't really decided what kind of finish or details the wood will have, but I figure I can leave it unfinished for now and save that for the paint stage.

Also, the cardboard is good for working out the sizes of all the parts, which I've determined in my crude blueprint. I actually had to use some trig (what?! high school math?!) to determine the angles of the chamfer cuts but with a good chop saw I don't think it will be too dfficult.
