wayne swayze Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Built just for some fun. The frame is metal rod soldered together. The handlebars are solder, the seat is leather, and the front wheel is a steering wheel from the parts box. The front tire is an "O" ring, while the rear tires are simply rubber washers. The fenders were made using sheet styrene and I used 1/2 round to peak them. Colour is Tamiya lemon yellow, and the flames are from a '32 Ford decal sheet. The streamers on the handle grips are yellow ignition wires.
Austin T Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 That is awesome, I never would have though about doing that. So what scale does it come out at? 1/12 maybe?
unclescott58 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Now that is just plain Kool. With a capital K. Any chance of some better and closer shots of model? Man, I like it! Scott
wayne swayze Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 This is the best I can do...photo-wise...sorry...not much of a photographer. Thanks for looking.

wayne swayze Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 Sorry John. You must be thinking of someone else. I've never built a red Merc. Salmon...yes. Too many guys build such wonderful versions of the Merc, I did 1 and then ran and hid!
