Bessie, The Road Paver
Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:52 pm
Here is another modeling project of mine. A love of mine, actually. It is a scratchbuild of Bessie, the Road Paver from Pixar's CARS.
I am working on the electronics, i.e. nighlights, furnace effect and motors. It is a long and complicated labor of love. You can read about it here.

My latest breakthrough is learning enough about 555 timers to achieve a succesful test of the furnace effect.
