ok while i get my head back in the game i figured the easiest way to stimulate new growth would be to start a new build
concept phase:
Leviathan:
noun
1.
(often initial capital letter) Bible. a sea monster.
2.
any huge marine animal, as the whale.
3.
anything of immense size and power
i am basing this build on number 3 if you have not guessed
thinking...one big ole nasty monstrous fire breathing pro street beast
now looking over my stash i need something to use as a donor and find just the ticket.

i got this last year in a trade, knowing i would only be needing the exterior shell when it came time to play with it.
i have all the bits i need

out comes the paper to lay out the essentials

i trace the size of the body and mark the wheel openings

then i find my body center line

i grab one of my resin mock up tires and find where i want them centered in the chassis

the basic box i begin with

i grab a mock up block

and lay out my front rails

now the inner brace section is probably going to change before i start cutting any plastic. i will go through it until i am happy with the way it looks.

this is one possibility for the bracing, not sold on it though so i will mess around with it a bit more next time i am at the bench
now before i have to head off to work, i grab my bottle of purple power

i chuck the chrome bits in there, by the time i am out of work they will be bare plastic and ready for the next step.
