Props spare segway in to a Halo prop

peterthethinker · Aug 12, 2015

Ive got a idea ( this is dangerous for me, I need to stop thinking)

I cant drive. and cant bike due to some health issues.
I had the option to get a mobility scooter years ago but
I opted for a segway as I can still stand and walk in mild pain .

I have 2 segways. The old one is on blocks as it needs a new MEMS Gyro and some other stuff.
That said it has body parts that I can repaint and with a few allen screws swap outter parts and wheels and the steering colom
Here it was back when it was the * batway*

I wanna see what folks here think up for colors and perhaps some body add on's
Lets make a UNSC Segway!!!!!

We have the warthog and mongoose . less is more right! ?

Some ideas. Ryno coat it and then take a can of green to parts of it .
Paint?
Logos?
lights?
Rims?
faux Weapons?

I am open to any ideas!

Peter.

With a little set of stickers . Thank you firstpick for the short name . Lets hope for a meerkat in halo6

Meatwad · Aug 18, 2015

This is epic... i want one sooo bad lol

peterthethinker · Aug 18, 2015

I went to frys for some ideas on rockets to mount. Ill draft up them this week . IMO base them on Paper towel tubes as a form factor .
The scale * feels* right.

2 per side might be enough

Perhaps a cut-off Spankr as the system. Just at a glance the rounds for them also are about PT roll sized too.

Ya know with a little nose pokin out the front of the tube . Inspired from Bond..

huh might want to look into a halo 2 M247 machine gun and mount a pair on the bottom of it you know so you can shot the legs out from under an elite.
