    Thank you. You are both correct. Aluminum corrodes.

    Bisc63, E-Z/P-Z! First, I soaked the wheels in La's Totally Awesome. Then, I sprayed the wheels in Krylon's Black Primer. Afterwards, I grabbed Vallejo's Rust, Statin, & Streaking Set, covering the primer with Chocolate Brown #70.872. Let it semi-dry and then sprayed Light Rust #70.301 from the same Vallejo kit. Finally, I sprayed about three coats of Testors Dullcote over the wheels. The result: rusted wheels!

    As bisc63 suggested, I kept an attitude of "rattitude" throughout the build. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the "Rat Trike!" (I truly appreciate all the positive reinforcement.) Chappy

    crazyjim, you might be right! bisc63, I did some surfing on the worldwide net. Your suggestion is spot on! I will give it a shot!

    Today, I added the rusty wheel and two (2) lanterns. The lanterns were hand painted Vallejo's Bronze (Bronze) #70.998. I hope to receive the lake headers, soon. Now, it's time to attack the diorama base. bisc63 and Jantrix, would you color the Lake Headers silver, white, or black?
  8. Chappy
    My Lake Headers should arrive on Tuesday . . .

    Thanks, Jantrix. I need to make a rusty wheel, paint the lanterns, and complete the diorama. (I also ordered special headers from eBay!)

    I was assigned to the TINOSA, PARGO, COMSUBRU 8, SEADEVIL, and NEVADA. The Nautilus is now a museum outside of Sub Base New London. I LIKE YOUR MODEL!

    Thanks, Rusty! I hope to complete it by Sunday. The wood base you see will serve as the platform for my Rat Trike Diorama. I am really enjoying this build! In fact, with all the talent on this forum, I would love to see others build their versions of the Rat Trike. I strongly believe there would be some outstanding builds. More too come . . .

    One last hurdle to jump: The Fork!

    I just finished the powerhouse. On Tuesday, I was weathered the engine and drop her into the chassis.

    Thanks, Rusty. I hope to have it complete soon.

    Since I had so much fun with my Taco Trikes, I decided to go RAT!

    I had fun building Taco Trike #2!
  21. Chappy
    Kool!
  22. Chappy
    Almost completed! Can you say, "Taco Trike Diorama?"
  23. Chappy
    Sweet Sweet

    You are my inspiration!

    The engine is painted in Deco's Festive Green and the body in Testors' #1835 Lime Ice Extreme Lacquer. Build on!
