New Attoparsec blog update with a demo video and more drive wheel bracket stuff. But I'm going to inline the video here as well, because I'm just that egotistical. And I can. So there.
I'll probably paint it with some kind of thick floor paint, maybe a kind of teakish color. I'm thinking of wrapping the perimeter with fake tin cornice stripping, with square medalions on the 4x4 ends. Need to be careful it's all easily dis/reassemblable. There is a lot that comes before that, though, like the EL-wire I'm going to need to drive it at night. And the horn, and the wrapped leather hand grips, and maybe some more decorative wrought iron on the pump arm itself...
It would be cheap and relatively easy to do period-appropriate rolled-grain finishes to make it look like planks, or to add other effects. It'd mostly only be visible during the day and (again) clearcoating would be a good idea, but it wouldn't add any weight or assembly difficulty.
