Sooooooo, haven't  posted for a while, but here the project is brewing. I've been converting one of my rooms (actually my girlfriends rooms) into a design studio, and been working on the design, and on this little monster

which is a 1/2 scale mockup of myself made of cardboard and some crap poplar wood, and he will be usefull for, of course 1/2 scale mockups of the velomobile. If someone need instructions on how to make one, feel free to contact me.
About the design, i started accurately modelling the wheels and cranckset, and the rest, well, not so accurately. For the first part of the design i'm using blender, because it's so much faster than solidworks, which i will use on the later part, for the manufacture, and fine tuning.

So here are some of the latest design variations, the last one is the one i like most, and the images down here, are from an earlier design, but here the door counts. 
Oh and i've decided to use 24 inch wheels on the front and back, mostly for aesthetics, but maybe after i make the mockup, it will look good also with 20 inch wheels.


I hope i will get to publish some details on how to make the wood joints somewhere around this weekend, and if anyone will have a better idea, please tell me .
