bobthehobbyguy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ira, Great work as always. I would suggest that where the exhaust comes out you thin the lip of the body instead of the notch for the outside exhausts. Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I filled the two body holes on the sides of the pipes and I will probably "thin the lip" too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) CUTTING A HOLE... I found an inner wheel that will be a perfect housing for my Frenched Taillight! So I traced it on the back of the Quad... I opened the hole with an X-Acto #11 Blade, then increased its size with a reamer and last, I used the Dremel Tool for the final shape. I positioned the wheel in as far as I could and then glued it in place. Here it is with a little putty around the edges...

Ira Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 GETTIN' SMOOTH... I started Smoothing out the Frame a little more by adding putty to the frame tube, behind the gas tank position. A little more sanding... Then I cut a piece of sheet plastic to fill in the area under the seat and glued it in place. Then I sanded it a little more...

cobraman Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I really like the way this is coming along. The exhaust pipes look cool the way you have them exit. Carry on ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 THE GAS TANK!!! I wasn't too happy with the way the Gas Tank fit on Quad, so I did a little carving and sanding... I got a pretty good fit after a little more sanding! I think the Body and Gas Tank flow nicely now...I'm Happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 ED'S LIGHT!!! I found the perfect headlight in Ed Roth's Mysterion Kit. I added a second little "Wing" on the left side of the Cyclops Light Housing to make it symetrical. Here it is sanded and shaped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 TWO HARLEYS PLEASE!!! I painted the Engines with Tamiya Silver Leaf, then the Engine Blocks Flat Black and the Cylinders got a Black Wash... From the side you might not notice the Extra Engine... But when you see it coming up in your rear view mirror, there is no doubt... The Gas Tank just fits in between... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 EASY EXHAUST!!! I found an easy way to make Flexable Exhaust Pipes for the Quad...notice the Black Pipe! I cut the Cord off of an old Dell mouse, and as it turns out the Cord is the same size as the Kits Exhaust Pipes! Here are all 4 Pipes in place... These Pipes are not glued in yet, I'm still working on positioning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 SCOOPS!!! These 25th scale Scoops turned out to be the right size for the Quad! I added a couple of Carbs and painted them with Testors "Lime Ice". Here they are in place! Another View... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
