Step 11Completing the lower leg & Paint
I found an old 4x4 razor scooter in my garage and decided the wheels would make great tires for the side of the legs. You should be able to use an old Big Trike or broken kids toys to use as wheels. (I don't recommend taking them from a toy that's still being used as this might upset the previous owners)
If you can't find any, and need to create some. Then see step 1 about creating discs. Same procedure different paint.
For Gas Cannisters I used old Tin Cans and painted them the same metalic as the other parts.
*Special note: Bolt these wheels and tin can to the leg piece. Just using glue is not enough. They will be knocked off. Make sure you use washers whenever bolting anything to cardboard. This will held secure it better by not punching holes in your creation.
Use the same technique for creating front vents that you used for creating the stomach grill. Foamboard works great.
