Everly got the
Barbie Compact Dream House, and Remy got a remote control Pontiac Trans Am. It only took 3 months to build.
The first version was a bit rough. It had distance sensors under the front but they were removed later.
This later version is a bit cleaner.
From the front you can see the bucket seats.
In back is where the batteries and brains live.
You can see all the electronics in the trunk.
The wireless remote is a simple joystick with a few buttons. The endcap is meant to resemble the emblems Patti and I took off our 1983 Trans Am.
This is one of the emblems we ripped off our old car.
Headlights
A gift needs a container. I built a replica of the FLAG Mobile Command Center fron Knight Rider using a cardboard box.
Truck from the front
The cab can be removed from the box to play with separately.
Here is the car in the box ready to be delivered.
