ajwheels Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Matt.......the scale here is 1/16...........a bit small for some of this detail, but workable if patient........... PM sent.......... Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony 3-D printing is not only more accessible but the technology just keeps getting better & better.....it's hard to believe that Tony's trike is only 1/16th scale!

ajwheels Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks, Ira, I appreciate the good word............. And Don's comment about this being 1/16 scale, well, it's a bit small for my drifting eye-sight and fat fingers, however, I took a shot at flaring some aluminum tubing for the ram tubes on the throttle bodies............then installed the intakes on the engine.........
