Thanks! Sort of based on another I'd seen from the states but the original is a beetle. It's adapted and fettled, may end up amended but that's the gist of it lol.

Well it's been a while but we've rebuilt the body and made a bit of a scoop and the 5 yr old is now satisfied with his creation :) I have a feeling he's too shy to come to the event on the 1st Nov but think I will be there. Just going to have a look if it's still going ahead and everything and will hopefully sign up. Just needs a name and charging back up as it's been doing laps of the dining table for about a week straight after school :)
