Re: Harley Samurai Chopper
These days I built the carburator..
I saw some pictures on the web and I was inspired to build it. I used a tube of brass, a sheet of plasticard and bits of wire. |

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper
I scratched exhaust using plasticard, brass and 2k putty.
It must already be well-finished.. Last edited by Disca92; 03-30-2012 at 03:54 PM. |

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper
I modified the exhaust manifolds lowering them, then covered with wraps simulated with a medical adhesive gauze. I also scratched the speedometer and the license plate support

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper
waiting for good weather to start painting I built the rear brake lever.
They then started with a paper clip and a few tubes of brass to get an E-link system connected to the piston of the disc brake. |

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper
Thanks sportracer!
These days I added some details to the engine and finally I started painting.. First layer of gloss black over every single part of engine, exhaust and gear. Then I used "metalizers colors" on cylinders and exhaust; engine block, heads and gear has been sprayed with alclad II "polished aluminium". |

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper
Waiting for the return of the sun to continue with the painting, I took the opportunity to prepare the frame by adding the last details and sanding any imperfections.
I then added all the welds, simulated by a thin copper wire. The wire was rolled on a 0.5 mm drill bit, obtaining a spring which was then slightly stretched and then flattened. The whole has been glued on the engine with a drop of glue and shaped with a toothpick, to look like a hand-made TIG weld. |
