fatkidd Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 so i have taken a break from the van. partially due to builders block (of sorts) and no personal interest in it. as sad as that sounds, here's one that is almost done in the meantime. it is the recent reissue of the MPC Milk Trike...done in the "Pop Machine" scheme. the basecoat is House of Kolor Orion Silver (bc02) with Root Beer Kandy w/SG100 (inter coat clear). no clear coat yet, as i still have some decal work to do on the other side. i decided to do a quick mock-up so i could see how it looked. that's when it struck me to share it with the fine folks here. also, the seat is wrapped in real leather and the diamond patter is "sewn" onto the seat. I thought it needed something "EXTRA". the floor board is hematite embossing powder. i do plan on wiring the engine as well. i might even add a starter since it does not have one. enough of my blabbering...on with the pictures. thanks for looking. and critique/constructive criticism is always welcome.
Nick Notarangelo Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 nice I like the seat,now thats diffrent

fatkidd Posted October 30, 2010 Author Posted October 30, 2010 nice I like the seat,now thats diffrent thanks nick. it was a little time consuming, but i'm happy with the result
fatkidd Posted October 30, 2010 Author Posted October 30, 2010 That is very cool! Nice colors. Looks great! Nice job. thanks jody. hopefully it will cleared and final assembly this weekend. i had a major issue with the left side decal...as soon as i slid it off of the backing paper, it literally stuck (one small spot) in place. i tried to slide it a little bit to position it and it ripped in 3 or 4 places. so, i will use some of the "extra" decals and recoup. the sides won't be the same, but oh well. i can live with that.
fatkidd Posted November 7, 2010 Author Posted November 7, 2010 so i've gotten some more work on this thing done. all that is left is to mount the front and rear lights. i did go ahead and add a starter into the mix as well as a coil with a scratch built bracket. clear coat has been applied and these pics are before wetsand & polishing. thanks again for looking.
