Kingslug Posted October 21 Posted October 21 After moving to Utah finaly unpacked and started up on this again. Getting closer. Have to finish building the 2 chains I bought...about 500 pieces to put those together. Craziest thing I ever built. 11

Kingslug Posted October 22 Author Posted October 22 1/12.. The motor has about 300 pieces. Jay leno owns the only other one like this.
Kit Karson Posted October 22 Posted October 22 You ought to contact Jay and let him know about your build! -KK
Speedpro Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Wow, that's really nice! Great detail work. Looking forward to seeing more of this build.
Kingslug Posted October 22 Author Posted October 22 (edited) Finaly finished 1 side chain...really difficult to work with..its a tamiya 1/6 motorcycle chain...hundreds of parts..metal rollers...had to buy 2 of them for about 70 bucks....takes a few days to get them together..like building a friggin watch...just getting it sized took an hour...painted and weathered..

Bugatti Fan Posted Friday at 04:50 PM Posted Friday at 04:50 PM Most impressive builds Ira, the individually linked chains look really effective on the models. I have seen examples built up at shows over here in the UK and the Mephistophele never fails to impress !
Kingslug Posted Friday at 09:16 PM Author Posted Friday at 09:16 PM And to think jay leno owns several cars like this..and drives them around!
Kingslug Posted Friday at 09:18 PM Author Posted Friday at 09:18 PM Chains on..wheels on..added a bolt and nut to the drive sprockets..They just have you screw it on... 5
Kingslug Posted 23 hours ago Author Posted 23 hours ago Working on the side frame rails..They give you 2 plain plastic pieces. The real ones are wood with iron fittings and an iron angle running the length of them. Made them out of Sappele wood , brass and plastic stock. The real ones are first 2 pics. Also working on the leather straps..they give you some fake material..I'm thinning out some leather..also bought some..see which is better. 2
