solidworks 2012, I think 2010 onwards can do it - just save as PDF and click the 3d pdf checkbox

though I can't guarantee that any made out of chocolate won't have little bits of plaster in it - not toxic, but doesn't taste real good

I chuckled :)

If you chuck these on ebay you will make a killing. I'd buy at least one for sure.

I already told Simon i want a dozen..!!!

He sent me some clubman, roundies and vans ages ago and kid you not they are like pride and joy in my Mini toy collection. I painted them the same as the old cars I have had in the past so it is like a legacy of my Mini journey... All i need now are some Mokes... :wink:

uh oh... what feature makes it look like a choke? I just used pictures of aussie mokes to get details, but there are bits I couldn't get correct...

I'm fiddling with the design to add a roof and a more detailed version for 'collectors' rather than kids to paint, so could fix some things

It's exactly those little bits that aren't quite right that makes it like a choke, like non removable side covers on the panniers.

Quite simple really, chokes are like bizarro mokes, where everything is close, but not quite right.

The one feature that stands out the most is quite obvious:

Chokes have a side skirt connecting the front and rear guard extensions
Mokes do not (And little wheelers have no guard extension at all)


However, a certain MOA Victoria member said that the MOA members had been putting those side skirts on since the 80's to stop rocks flinging up and choke copied them.

Either way, chokes have em, mokes didn't originally!


Model is awesome though, if you made one like the original drawing you used (10" wheels, no side guard extensions and flat rear panel) i'd buy up!
Love me a little wheeler

I see what you mean - thanks for that

I should put the angle on the side deflector screens too...
