3 Days

The Dune Skipper is about 99% there. Kate has been busy finishing up the chaos cage and crew guards. Erik made a new friend, Big Red, the shop creeper who fits perfectly under The Dune Skipper for work on the derailleurs & disc brakes. Hedy has been busy detailing the sculpture and John, Dave & Tom have been finishing tuning up The Reckoner.

Just a few more details and she is ready to take her scout car role in front of The Reckoner. We will be showcasing 2 different vehicles from the same fleet... one nimble scout & collection vehicle and one crawling machine of war... we cant wait.



Her wheels may be small in comparison but she has the top end speed

That's right, she is on blocks. Look at that steel ball detailing (insert ball joke here) and those plush reclined leather seats complete with cup holders. You cant get any more luxurious can you?

We left the front 'incense' holders from Octovishnu last year as is. His humble orange octo spirit lives on! Its interesting there are pieces of all 3 Kinetic Sculpture Derby entries on The Dune Skipper. The chain guides are from The Mothership, the original entry to the KKSD 2 years ago, that John was involved in. My my how the vehicles have evolved in just 2 years!


Its getting close!
