Chilli Chopper Trike

[hobbybobby]

• Bad Medicine- Kitbash.
• First, i stuck the body parts together.
• Then I cut a piece from the middle of the back of the body out and added the two halves, in a different angle, together again.
• After I have cut off the front, I added the grille from the Pie Wagon.
• Before, I reduced this grille in the amount, roughly by a half.
• The whole thing was filled and sanded in the right form.
• Original Bad Medicine engine.
• The front wheel, some parts for the fork and the fork holder stem from the Milk Trike- Chopper.
• The entire rear wheels and the handlebars are a own production.
• The new interior has been adapted from two plates (seat and back) and related with a red felt .
• The exterior color is a self mixture metallic dark blue for the under half of the body and the scoop.
• For the delivery- cab, i use a metallic red from Tamiya with a few layers of clear varnish on it.
• Then I painted a "wooden frame" around the delivery- cab.
• Hope, you like it.

How did you do rear wheels and tires?

Thank you very much for the kind words!

How did you do rear wheels and tires?

Condition is a lathe and the necessary materials and tools, but if you have these, there are almost no limits.

Well, only time, high costs and effort...

These are "rubber springs". We need them as low-holder for punching:

It gives different colors and many diameters and lengthen.The idea was good ;D, but the treatment exhibits problems.

The color of this rubber spring shows optically their hardens. The black is the softest (approx. 70 shores).

Thus one can turn it only in a device with very sharp tools, or work on it with rough sandpaper. I had to use both variants and after much work and sweat, look this now in such a way:

These are aluminum tubes:

At the back of the new aluminum rims I turned a larger recess, in order to press the rims in. I receive after polish a stepless transition in the rim wall. And a very deep rim!

Here is an example of the parts:

These are a few that I have produced:
