Using the overly I decided to see how the toys looked with the colours on them, they may not be the colours placed on these parts on the final skates, but it has given me the idea of how the skates may look with these colours up on them, it is also a useful way of showing the individual toys that make up the main piece.    

This is the 80's colour palette of toys, they are mutch more brighter than the 50's and there are more multible coloures to the toys, mixing from blacks to vivid reds. The colours are all very clashy and bold.     

This has been the most trickiest front and back view I found to do, its hard as from teh side there are many layered elements that are quite technical to get through in the front and rear view, and the hardest part was trying to master the back view, as I also needed to work out and show how the skate moved, through using a DC mini motor.  An area that keeps nigling away on whether it is iconic looking.
I do feel it is in many ways of the cheep chunky plasticness of it, and the big Go bots head in the midle, the big over sized gun at the front, and the way the top part could be used as a way to seat an action figure ontop. the disc ontop can be reprosented as a raidar. The the toy is durived and made from many silhouets of toys.

 

Front and back view of the 50's roller skate, all I need to do now is the 80's I feel I'm very close to creating these.




This is a colour swatch I have created for the 1950's, I have looked at a range of coloures from numerous toys and cars, I particualy looked at the at the rusted toys as, it maybe I nice texture reference in the future, being that these toys will be old looking.  

This is the latest idea on the 80's roller skate, Im really happy on how this has turnned out, its influenced by a few of the other silhouettes, I did and re changed them arround. With in this you will see a few iconic and plasticy 80's shapes, such as the battery compartment, the Gobots robot head and the big chunky weapons.   




This is the main concept I built the idea from. The AA battery pack at first was going to be covered up with just AA wrote up on it, I then thought that most old toys have the bettery compartments missing. 

After discuessing with phil, I'm glad to have this as a final chosen 50's toy, I like this due to its shape and weapon, I improved up on the back, giving it a back moter, as phil said it was lacking something at the back on the origenal. It has been a ;ong road to get to this stage I'm glad now I can move forward more. 

This is based from the scud roket launcher from the 1950's being that the cold war was arround the 50's 60's 70's and 80's.
