Harley Samurai Chopper
Starting a new project before finishing the guzzi..
This time the model kit is the same of the FLH just posted (Academy 1/10 Harley). What is a Samurai Chopper? It's a strange bike: is a motorcycle with a strange long wheelbase, the height from the ground by fear and a line as low as a few.. You can see more at http://www.zeroengineeringeu.com/bikes/index.html So I started wih the frame which I modified making it rigid (without rear ammo) I scratchbuilt like the 70% of the frame using brass, plasticard and sprue parts. Then I would have the open primary belt, so I scratched a new clutch (using plasticard, a washer and the hub of a formula1 wheel) and the corrispective pulley (using a tube's cap of cream). |

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper
Hi, the built is looking great this far. Can you show me wath this kind of vinil is and how that you made the teeth on it? Did you place these one by one on it?
Thanx |

A lot of patience is needed especially for the correct distance between them but the work pays off.. As the last thing I cut the tape to the right width (7mm) and I brushed a drop of glue on the sides to make sure that the teeth were not moving on the body.. |

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper
Very nice work so far...especially on the clutch and primary belt - totally nuts!
For future reference for anyone else trying this, have a look out for old printer/scanners. I've got some rubber belts from them and they look great - not sure they have enough notches for 1/10th scale, but I've kept them for some 1/8th car projects and they are perfect for that. Will try to get a photo! |
