Art Anderson Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Started the bodywork so that I have a reference point for determining the length of the foot pedals, and also for laying out/making the hand brake lever system, and the neutral gear lockout lever arm setup: Art
GTMust Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Did I miss something? This is a very interesting build, but I feel I've joined it in the middle. Is there some background on this build? A previous thread perhaps? I really want to know and see more!
charlie8575 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 That looks really good, Art. I hope you're considering bringing it to NNL-East, seeing that you won't be able to make MassCar this year. I'm looking forward to seeing more progress on this. Yes, Tony- you did kind of join this mid-way through. See here. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=30337 Charlie Larkin
Chuck Most Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Art Anderson... the god, patron saint, and all-round kewel kat of scale model scratchbuilding!
Foxer Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I'm just glad to see someone else building in geological time frame as I do! And, GLAD to see this back on the table, Art!
GTMust Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for the link Charlie. Will watch this build with great pleasure. Great work. Tony
sjordan2 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Art – I forgot: What scale is this? How did you make the bicycle chain? Edited January 21, 2011 by sjordan2
sjordan2 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Is this the GrandtLine part you're using for the chain drive (O scale)? If so, do you have the dimensions on it (horizontal outside diameter would be all I need)? I need to rig up a chain apparatus for the brake system on my 1/16 Bugatti 59. BUGATTI (One assembly on each side): Edited January 21, 2011 by sjordan2

BUGATTI (One assembly on each side): Skip, For starters, Grandt Line markets this chain drive setup, but they don't manufacture it apparently. If you go to Grandt's website, you will see a variety of sprocket sizes, with dimensions given, as well as the roller chain itself (which is easily spliced or even shortened!). Art
Art Anderson Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 Art Anderson... the god, patron saint, and all-round kewel kat of scale model scratchbuilding! Not quite, but thanks! I still consider myself to be a "cut and fit" sort of guy. Art
Art Anderson Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 That is really looking good Art! Done by GSL? Jairus, I'm gonna spend my quality model car show time this spring at NNL-East, which kinda precludes a stop out at GSL this year. Art
