Pandaing to your every whim...
Panda by sunlight in the garage. Only one wheel fitted at this point, but the idea starts to show. At this stage the front spikes are not fitted and the front board is still in place.
Panda's in the hood!
Panda Monium has a lifting bonnet to allow us access to the workings when we are in a hurry. Of course it will be attached all the way round, but hinged for faster access. This also makes it easy to work on while the top chassis is in situ.
Striping Pandas...
Not too thrilling. This is Panda with no clothes on. I think this must have been taken just after we had finished welding the frame as there is no paint on it yet. Thankfully you can't see how poor our welding is!!
...it says 'ere, Pandas eat metal bamboo...
Our one attempt at researching weapons. We used some old encyclopedias to check out militaria through the ages...
And this is Panda in a slinky little metallic number....! This shows some of the body panels in place. These have been cut from honeycombed polyprop. They fit into the frame as well as being bolted into place.
