It was Zakh my grandsons 14th birthday in the week and he is heavily into skateboarding, it used to be scootering
but he changed a little while back and goes skating for a couple of hours every day.

So I was asked to make a design of Zakh himself and this is what I came up with.
Version one was a little on the small size so we tried a larger looking face but
decided on keeping with the smaller design and adding to it.

The body was a little to long to leg ratio so we changed this in pictures to come.

I made the lower Grey bubble from his top to Blue to match trousers and then added a double
160 around the waist and also a 160 at bottom of trousers to bulk them out a little.
Then added the belt and buckle.

We also added to the Grey top with 160's at the sides to bulk it out a little.

I also changed the trouser legs to double stuffed for a richer Blue and then re-made
the shoes as had a better thought of what might work for a better look.

On the skateboard, it did look a little on the short side when standing on it but it looked correct height when he was holding it.
You have to find a happy balance and what is pleasing to your eye.

I then built I think its called a quarter pipe and then added the top shelf like section as well with rim.

The finished design.

I added some artwork on the board to try and match Zakh's original board.

Cropping the pictures so its all balloon.
