Vigolix Yellow Fever Hybrid
« on: July 27, 2014, 10:19:59 am »
I'm back in the U.S.A. for two weeks with my wife and new baby boy. My parents are having a party so every one can meet the first grand baby. I decided to build a simple mini cab for all the kids to play. Been wanting to build a Vigolix clone for a while and when I saw yellow fever I decided they would make for a good mix.

I only had two mornings to do all the work so there is a lot that needs improving. That said I think it came out well. I can fix the little paint and other odds and ends after the party this after noon. I also need to print a marquee and add a L.E.D. light strip as a back light.

I'll add pics of the kids playing after the party.


Thanks to Vigo & ChanceKJ for the inspiration and plans.

Nice -- I'm sure the kids will have a good time with this and for a 2 day build it came out very polished looking.  :applaud: :cheers:

Yep, one day cutting/priming, one day painting/assembly.

One kid thought it was broking because the game did not start when she touched the screen. Another little one said "Mom it's Pac man and its free."
