Harley Next Project 1/8

A couple of weeks ago I started my new work.. Why "next project"?
I don't know why.. but i like it.. it looks so aggressive!

The bike is based on the shovelhead engine stolen from a revell 1/8 Electra Glide kit wich i'd like to modify until it would looks like a knucklehead..

I started with the frame: I folded hand, filling the tubes with a steel wire and then were soldered to a stable seal.

At the same time I started wheels improving them with steel wire and a lot of holes on hub and rim.. I made only a raw of spokes to see the effect and to study the spoken method..

Frame looks excellent. I would be interested to know more about how did u bent them.

Ciao utzelu, the frame tubes were initially filled with a stell wire to prevent the material deforms, then to maintain the symmetries I welded two parallel tubes together in a couple of points just to keep them attached.

Then I bent them into desired shapes and at the end I removed the welds between the two tubes. Once put back into position, the two main tubes, were welded to the joists and to the upper curved central beam.

And slowly all the other parts .. then a good roughing the welds and voilà ..

In these days I dedicated back to the engine .. did not satisfy me so I changed further ..

The motor is left only the base and the initial part of the cylinders ..
The cylinder heads have been studied to a computer and, after viewing tons of photos, I designed the templates that, after being glued onto plasticard, I have helped cut in the right shape.

Once pasted on top of each other all the layers, I recorded the new fins ..

Another flaw were the vertical blades on the cylinder head ..

Initially thought to play them as horizontal tabs but it would have created a thick and surreal surely I would have had difficulty in giving a shape.

So I aligned many rectangles of plasticard alternating thicknesses of 0.5mm and 1mm.

I also mounted two pieces of brass tubing from 4mm to simulate the valve seats.

My dear friend this is fantastic ;)
I have the benefit of the spoiler due the last updates on ita forums and.... amazing, what really amaze me most are the basic techniques: you uses the old school modeling tech., incredible.

Now I understood better when you said about big scale models: yes I agree, for this kind of level 1/8 or even 1/6 models are quite better!

Thanks a lot Gio,your compliments give me a lot of enthusiasm and desire to continue with this project.

I've always preferred the "sustainable" modeling to the vanguard technologies, using things easily available at home, although at times that are more modern tecnique necessary like photo-etching or cnc lathe-mill..

I often prefer to do things by hand avoiding drills and burs to sculpt and shape the pieces, in order to have more manual control and a unique feeling once the piece is finished ..

is a unique satisfaction to see a unique component that comes out of nowhere slowly piece by piece

Grazie "friend" Gio.. mi dai un sacco di carica!...

See you soon!

...I often prefer to do things by hand avoiding drills and burs to sculpt and shape the pieces, in order to have more manual control and a unique feeling once the piece is finished ..

Golden words. I like hand work too.

Thanks a lot Stratos!


The matter is getting harder .. but I knew it .. and whoever takes the win .. but it is also required so much patience, I assure you .. For the work I did in those days at least it is so ..

I dedicated my time to the heads (just the first to tell the truth ..).
I started by removing the vertical fins that I showed a few days ago because a millimeter in thickness between one and the other was too much, not a lot, but excessive. I then folded up to a thickness of 0.7 and 0.5 by fins and the whole is more commensurate and in appropriate scale.

And then the first thing you notice in a knuckle can't not be the rocker (the head itself), so.. project at hand, I designed the PC mirror masks to get the parts from solid.

I glued 10 rectangles of plasticard from 1 mm to form a solid on whose faces I glued the templates ..

... The result is a pile of rubble and a brand new rocker .. Lacking only the bolts front and rear cam cover.

The cam cover in particular were starting to play some brass tubes that hold the structure intenramente and, using the plate of a tube of glue (do not know .. maybe it's aluminum ..), I shaped it directly on the cylinder creating a couple of carter, then glued and finished ..

I know a lot of work .. but it is a unique satisfaction I guarantee ..

Now that I've done a little 'practice on the front cylinder I will dedicate myself more to the rear ..

see you soon!

In these days, I started working on the front fork.

Of all the technical solutions that I thought I chose the springer fork with leaf springs, which ultimately has a very vintage look.

As usual, I started to work from brass tubes 2 and 3 mm, which I folded in pairs to maintain symmetry between the parties.
Once calculated the dimensions and angles I soldered everything and I put the fork on the rest of the frame.

Finally I added the leaf spring with some real self-made from 0.5mm plasticard strips of different lengths between 15 and 30mm.

Great progress! Love the brake discs as well. Not only they look cool but it is easier as there's no need for a bulky wheel hub.

nothing to do, that tank is not inspired me a lot of confidence, so redesigning the shape I rebuilt from scratch with plasticard ..
In the meantime I also tweaked the handlebar in its main forms, following the advice of a friend and making it more attractive

The seat was instead obtained from a sheet of aluminum, shaped and hand hammered a bit 'as the true builders do it with tanks and fenders ..
To simulate the padding instead I used two-component putty and lots of elbow grease

I finally manage to take up this work ..
I had left open the pulley-clutch to which I added a myriad of teeth made ​​in plasticard, cut and glued one by one.
Same procedure on a new pulley (smaller than the first) and of a multilayer black vinyl tape cut to size.

Once you have finished editing the teeth I closed the belt on the pulleys and just cutting it shorter than necessary I made sure that it remained pretty tight without bellies of any kind ..

In the meantime I had a hand in the carburetor (built from scratch with brass and copper), which I coupled an air intake very special ..
The idea came from a photo I found on the net and played the pipe using a light waste and a bit 'of plasticard.

Good progress so far. Thanks for updating us.

Are you going to nickel plate any of the brass parts?

Thanks Utzelu..
I've got a lot of idea in my mind about the painting step, but I haven't already choose one of them.. Nickel plate is not a bad idea but it isn't in my ideas..
I believe that some parts will be painted with airbrush and some other will be paintless

Excellent work. Fantastic project. I look forward to seeing more!

Excellent work. Fantastic project. I look forward to seeing more!

Thanks Mike!
It's a honor to receive your compliments!

Nothing to do .. the headlight was'n good enough, so I replaced it with a more simple and spartan parabolic headlight ..

I also added the tank caps, ignition key and the tail light..

Fantastic job, buddy.

Fantastic job, buddy.

Thanks a lot my friend...


These days I started the dio..
The idea came looking some photos on the net, and doing some hand drawings, I'd like to make the inner section of an old wooden barn used as a mechanical workshop, so I started working with a 30x40 sheet of hardboard, and a lot of birch and walnut strips of different dimensions..

That is an amazing build and diorama!!! Shame you have to paint all that styrene on the bike but I am sure you will make it look real. The raw-ness of the bike looks so cool.
