Tricycle Style Trailer Concept

Postby justageorgiaguy » Tue Aug 24, 2010 6:06 am

Found this over at http://www.theawesomer.com

"Basically it is the transformation of a Piaggio APE 50 tricycle into a small one man camper."

I just thought it was a pretty neat concept!

James,

What is the story behind the set/background in your self portrait?

If I read the article right - is this all CG rendering? the only real stuff is the person and the sheep! It is interesting what can be created and mocked up with just right expertise :thinking:

Yes Starlene; a College thesis for Engineering class; all photoshopped; but what a concept! For someone like me (single) this would be a perfect 'motorhome'

One could sleep with their feet at the opposite end! Fun even though it's just a concept.

Hi Scott,

Yes, I did look it over. Very nice work!

I questioned it because I too love old abandoned, forlorn places like that, and wondered if it was just a place he found, or if it was in the family, etc.

Rob

PS. You sure are looking good, like a new man.
Good job!

Almost a year later..sorry i dropped off the face of the Earth,

Rob, it is just a house I found, I knew the owner however. I love the abandoned places (when the snakes aren't moving!)

Thanks for the kind words on my photography!!
