t0ny Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 thnx the glue is called platic weld from plastruct (brand is plastruct) its awsome stuff because it will glue almost every type of plastic and also glue difefrent types together like abs , butyrate acrylic etc .. most important is to sand the plastic before glueing , styrene doesnt need that but harder types of plastic need some pre sanding takes a liitle longer to set (not a lot) but then its great website > south wallace place , city of industry (just googled this for you ) over here in holland its pretty available .. btw they also seem to sell styrene and plastic just like evergreen Thanks for the information. I will see if I can get ahold of it here in the states. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) thnx all !!! are you using white spirit for the washes with the oil paints? Or thinner specific to the paint brand? Looking great!hey , no not using anything i just used it right out of the tube ... i was also wondering what would be best to make the oil paint thin ...i did not need to , but when you want to use it to let it flow into seems and stuff that could be handy indeededit > i googled it and they say white spirit works fine , also lots of other werid stuff but thats more for painting paintings haha WOW, Richard!!!

crazyrichard Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 thnx wayne !! i gave the wheels a second wash , to make them a bit more rough , the white walls got a wash with oker color , a bit between brown and yellow (more towards yellow) this was really a perfect tone between the brown of the body and the red of the wheels and ... the oil paint has completly dryed , now you guys can see the final look of oil paint , its now reallt matte and all the gloss is gone .. too bad these are pics in evening light , in daylight it looks better on picture .. but it came out awsome .. on the body you really see how matt the wash has become and just blends in more with the body base color .. i will make some daylight pics tomorrow so you can see the colors more how they really are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 alright will show the bike and thats the last .. now you all looked into my life this was my precious bike a honda cb 650c then i bought this > stock > real small and uugghh bike , remember this is a real low budget build , the sport is to build something out of this cheap bike for as little money as possible bought some cheap old parts > new front legs from a honda xl250 and a 21" front wheel from a hinda xl500 gotr some friends to weld on a alu block on the legs thats the stop for the drumbrake painted the wheels , lowered teh rear with second hand hagon shocks ..and much more also ripped of so many parts and cut up the frame ...chop chop lowered the front some more , maybe shorten the leggs later on wanted to keep it that low and add clip ons it really looks look and sleek and not really chopper like i loved that , more like a old dragracer , but i desided it just would not ride nice and therefore put high habdle bars on , they look almost like apes hight wise , but since the bike is that small / low my arms just sit straight , so no arms above my body haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinky Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Its cool if you can do those things yourself, and most of the time fun also Creating your own custom bike is awesome, should be possible to creating something nice with the 250. Btw this picture makes me think of the a specific street in Slikkerveer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Richard....what a great thread and build project! I was looking at this thinking how bulding styles and trends in the street rod/hot rod world (and the model car world) have changed over the last several decades. I did my own chopped '31 Tudor - the original chop job was shown in one of the earlier "modeler's corner" columns (circa 1978) that I did for Street Rodder magazine, and the completed model was shown finished in "modeler's corner" around 1994 or 1995 (yes, it took 15 years to complete it), - just before I had to give up the column due to my 1.1 scale career progression. I'll see if I can get some photos taken and posted. But in the meantime, GREAT JOB! and congratulations on what you have achieved!
