New Untitled Beetle

[Craaig]

Hey there guys,
Now things are getting a bit more serious with my beetle I thought I'd make a thread.
Waiting on a mixer right now but pretty much everything else is here and I've laid out in my mockup.

Initial Sketchup model

Wheel-wise, I think they'll probably end up sticking out of the back, which is okay, as I want invertibility as a priority, also gotta work out the size of the lifting forks.

As for armour, the front slope and forks should be 3mm steel, the sloped sides as well as the baseplate and top plate 4mm HDPE, with the back panel and internal side panels (it's built like a front-wedge box with those 2 side plates attached) 10mm HDPE.

Hoping to be ready for Bluewater Let me know what you guys think and stuff, I'm very new so I'm expecting to end up making mistakes :')
