Help needed: How to model a skateboard

[Dr Bison]

Dear all,

I've been fiddling with a 120mm figure kind of recently (a slight conversion of Nutsplanet's "Minx",

which I'd like to present on or with a skateboard. So much for the theory.
But I just can't figure out how to model the trucks and my skateboard itself looks slightly wonky as well.

Anyone has any idea about how to produce a board for the lass?

Cheers in advance
Karl

various diameters of plastic rod and tube would be my solution....

At the bottom of the page is a link for how to put the board together.
Scaling it down to your model size is up to you.

Cheers,

I'm sure somewhere in toy land you can buy miniature skateboards for fingers.. ( sounds weird I know ) Would one of those be the right size for the figure...

Depends on which type really. Not sure the more common double ended type would look right with the figure. Perhaps a more 70s or 80s cruiser or kite style. Maybe a longboard even.

I'd say plasticard for the deck so you can heat an bend it. Trucks are the most difficult though. Especially if you want them to look right. I've seen a few on miniatures and they wouldn't work. Yes, I know that's anal lol.

Dear Steve, Andrew, Warren, Nap, Mirofsoft and Forté,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me out here. There are a number of ideas that I am going to try out - I'll keep you updated.
So far, I've cut the basic shape out of plasticard, but unfortunately nose and tail are bent differently...

Cheers
Karl

The way girlie are dressing today, cover at least the last 60 years, they are no dress code ... so she could live today wearing her mother or even grand mother clothes, thus all skateboard form are good
