Scale-Master Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Scratchbuilt, around 20 parts. Mostly aluminum. I broached the splines into the receiver so they match the splines on the shaft. The red button on the right is for the nitrous. Even made a plastic wire guide to keep the switch wires from dangling loose. (Note the stitching on the faux leather grip.) The horn button has a cloisonne Seven logo in it... - Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Well thank you everyone, here's some answers... Being a decal artist (Scale-Master Decals), I made decals for the stitching, I'm not crazy enough to stitch that by hand, (or am I?). The process for making the female splines is called Broaching, basically mashing the design into the part, similar to how some sockets are made. The big ruler is made by setting my Shrink Ray Gun on reverse, (1200%) and just zapping my 6 inch machinist scale. (I can shrink it back down for storage.) And as you can see in this photo, it's 6 feet long... I'll post some other goodies for this project in another thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weasel Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 that's right, didn't you/your co make a bunch of oversizded stuff for a photo shoot/ ad campaign??? sparkplugs and stuff??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 that's right, didn't you/your co make a bunch of oversizded stuff for a photo shoot/ ad campaign??? sparkplugs and stuff??? Wasn't me/us. I scale stuff down. The "big ruler" in the above post is a Photoshop gag made by Steve Boutte. It is me and my ruler, but it's not a "real" picture... - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTmike400 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Its a small world Mark... Well, those decals are very very convincing for stitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
