Danielle had a job come in to make a Robin Reliant from the TV series "Only Fools and Horses"
And asked me to help with making it. Danielle wanted to make the classic scene with
the blow up dolls in the rear of the car that kept exploding.
I had a go at making a prototype to try and get the proportions and look right.
The front section of the car here was too short and angled down where
it needed to be on the same level as the centre of the car
I just added some 260's to the front to see what size we would need to go to for the finished design.
Then decided I may as well pop the original front of the car and re-do in 350's
I started to add the roof rack and the lights to the design.
This is Danielle's Facebook page if you would like to see some of her work,

I did the front section of the car too long with the 350's, Ooops
Added the wing mirrors, the car was always going to be too narrow I was just
trying to get the shape and proportions looking right from the side.
The finished prototype, the front section was a little too long and the door section a little too narrow.
These would get adjusted slightly with the main build.
I drew up a graphed picture to try and get the proportions better.
Its not often I get in a picture, my reflection in the mirror ;D
The design coming together.
The Reliant Robin coming along, all the lights added.
Pictures from all angles.
We then added Del Boy and the blow up doll designs ;D
Plus artwork.
Then we started to try a few places to get the better finished pictures.
The finished design although there was a couple of items we forgot to add.
One was on the prototype and the other we both decided we would add to the finished design
.....but forgot..............Oooops.
The last of the pictures.
