During the winter months, it's not possible for me to work on Sheila the Tank. So normally, I use this time to work on other projects, be it fixing my armor or building new weapons. Just this past week I went to an auction and won a bid for an old electric scooter, something I had been keeping an eye open for for one particular project. Now I'm waiting on a new charge cable to come in the mail, but I think it's safe to say that this little scooter will soon become a Covenant Ghost!
I've already started modifying a pep file I found so I can make it out of EVA foam with a PVC skeleton. I need to keep the weight low as the maximum recommended weight for the scooter already is 250lbs (113kg). Right now I'm just going to work on the overall shell and seating, but I'm thinking of maybe adding lights and sounds at a later time, as well as changing it from a handle bar set-up to the levers it uses in the game. Also, this Ghost will be scaled down slightly from the usual size as it would look awkward and be very hard to actually drive. In the end it should be around 4 feet (1.2 meters) wide and about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long. So she won't be full size, but instead be designed so anyone can use it as a little con buggy lol.
EDIT: I've now included both the old version and new version of the foam files below.
