PatW Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) My first trike kit build. I have a few things yet to do to finish. The decal sheet gives you six options from Milk through to Soda, I chose Ice Cream/Ice Lolly. Plus I've added Some Ice Cream nail art decals to the rear. I've also painted some of the chrome parts with Acrylic Clear Red to give an anodised look. Yes the steering works 'carefully'!

Nosferatu Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Nice work Pat! I like the creamsickle color and the nice touch on the wheels and valve covers. This reminds me that I built one years ago. I think its buried in a box somewhere. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just spray the clear red over the chrome parts? I really like the look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Thanks David. It would still be good to see years although built some years ago. These are the first ones to be imported here to the UK along with the Roller. Hi James, no I used the acrylic clear red that is used for rear lights, just carefully brushed it on. Two light coats letting each coat to dry overnight. Edited November 25, 2021 by PatW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Great use of colors for that 70s vibe! Nice trike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Nice model and paint job Pat. The body shape is reminiscent of the Milk Truck that Eldon did say back but narrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
