wayne swayze Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Built just for some fun. The frame is metal rod soldered together. The handlebars are solder, the seat is leather, and the front wheel is a steering wheel from the parts box. The front tire is an "O" ring, while the rear tires are simply rubber washers. The fenders were made using sheet styrene and I used 1/2 round to peak them. Colour is Tamiya lemon yellow, and the flames are from a '32 Ford decal sheet. The streamers on the handle grips are yellow ignition wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 That is awesome, I never would have though about doing that. So what scale does it come out at? 1/12 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 The scale is 1/24. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
