Hi Guys,
This log will be more like a slideshow rather than a proper build log as I have no wish to bore you guys to death with all the details.
If you have any questions then please contact me and I will gladly answer them.
The making of the Pike is a lot easier than you may think but please remember that this is the first prototype and can easily be modified to make what ever you want to make.
The photos will tell you most of the story.
I was not to fussy about the first skin layer as it is only to give me something to glue to.
The rivets were cut down dressmaking pins as surggested to me from members on this site.
The eyes were the lenses from some old swimming goggles.
I look forward to answering any questions that you may have.
Martin.

Hi Guys,
This log will be more like a slideshow rather than a proper build log as I have no wish to bore you guys to death with all the details.
If you have any questions then please contact me and I will gladly answer them.
The making of the Pike is a lot easier than you may think but please remember that this is the first prototype and can easily be modified to make what ever you want to make.
The photos will tell you most of the story.
I was not to fussy about the first skin layer as it is only to give me something to glue to.
The rivets were cut down dressmaking pins as surggested to me from members on this site.
The eyes were the lenses from some old swimming goggles.
I look forward to answering any questions that you may have.
Martin555.
