Recently, inspired by @natalunasans’ use of large plastic vehicle toys for toddlers, I decided to try my hand at a 1:6 scale power wheelchair YET AGAIN.
\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Paw Patrol, despite being a surveillance-state blight upon the land, provided just the simple, blocky shape that I wanted for the chair base.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
At first I thought I would use a frame\/seat from the recent Fashionista Barbie wheelchair. I decided not to because of its lack of armrests.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
I removed the fkin decals and covered up the lights on the rear with white electrical tape. I had a chair assembly [1:6 scale office chair, seat cover made from socks, joybox made from erasers and pins] already, so I tested that on top of the base. Success!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
There’s a hole in the top of the car where you’re supposed to put your little Surveillance State Toy Dog, so that was a natural spot to stick the chair. I secured it there with Aves Apoxie Sculpt. You can see the covered-up rear lights here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Foot rests were a problem. I finally cut off the front bumper and punched two holes in the remaining plastic, then jammed dowels into them. The dowels stuck out like a forklift fork. Then I painted a piece of birch wood black and glued it into place for a footplate. Realistically the user would probably have some trouble getting into the chair if that were in the way, so just pretend that it moves, okay?!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Hey, at least Paw Patrol is good for SOMETHING!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
