Running with it???



The more I look at this the more I don't like the orange/brown color...pretend its a lovely green that matches.

So, the whole "bag" idea has morphed into a cloth organic substructure of sorts...I feel like having a "bag" around someone makes them feel trapped and suffocated (ha, no pun intended, oh silly joke). So...keeping the "bag" in mind its now a organic comforting keep you safe kind of thing?? Does this make sense? I still like the "bag" idea but I'm struggling with enclosing the people in it. Off-road adventures are meant to be fun and free...not containing and suffocating.

cab to grain cart relationship

Added an extra idler wheel in the rear track to make that one a little larger.  Dropped the height of the grain cart to match up with the top of the cab.

Truckin'

This guy has changed a decent amount since Spring.  Had to change up the proportions for function reasons (needed more room for articulation and drivetrain).  I'm still trying to use a single gesture to link the cab to the attachments.   Feeling alright about it I guess, the cab graphics and surfaces will probably need more love for sure.  That being said, feel free to rip it a new one.

Kind of Where I am Right Now...


Kind of where I am...Working on hard paneling vs. visible bag....I thing I need more bag. Then add more tube.

More Exploration...


Still trying to figure EVERYTHING out. But I went back and did some quick sketches and developed these from them. I'm trying to figure out a good balance between the cage and the body...aggression and eco-friendly (haven't gotten there yet).
