Bit the bullet this week and started my MSE-6 build.
I drew out the plans a few weeks ago and converted the imperial measurements to metric, I don't think it'll be 100% accurate to the original but on paper it looks very close.
I wasn't sure what to build the shell from but decided to keep the top as light as possible with all the weight in the base for stability. Aluminium, ply and foam board will be used for the chassis and base with ply and foam board for the top. I've purchased an old RC car from Ebay, this will be chopped up and re-built to a wheelbase length closer to the original. (I believe this is twelve and a half inches) Sounds will come from a bluetooth speaker
It's the top shell I've put together first, made from foam board sheets glued together with no more nails.
More to come soon
