With working on the antweights, organising a AW event and The Honey Badger 3, Kaizen has been taking a bit of a back seat but with the nice weather, I've been busy with the outer edge panels this evening. Tried moving it on the test wheels and for one brief glorious nanosecond, it worked followed by the wheels twisting off. I've got some M10 nyloc nuts on order that should be with me a few days so the proper wheels can go on.

Outer panels are now made, had several scary moments with the holesaw binding up in the HDPE followed by it snatching away - not fun. However, got the shape cut out, mounted the panels and now it is beginning to look properly serious. Wheels and shell are the next thing and then boom, rolling Middleweight. Definitely seriously sized, clocking in at about 650mm wide by 250mm long by 250mm tall.

Couple of little things at the moment, I am regretting having to build this upstairs, it is getting heavy (mid 20kg possibly, not weighted it since last post) I'll need to fit some bracing inbetween the panels to prevent the polycarbonate base from flexing, it is going to snap if it carries on like this :S

If the wheels can be attached by the end of this week and Kaizen rolling, I see no reason why it couldn't make RL Grantham.
