Smooth Bike

Hallo ,

Here an completly different Bike ,mentioned BAGGER .
This type of Bike is to be found frequently in the USA ,and has not only unloaded fenders ,but also in the body trained Suitcases .
As collecting main serves this Bike from ARLEN NESS , who build the Original .
I don`t want to make a exactly copy of the real Bike , howeveer in style .

As base for this building serves the ROBIN Bike from REVELL in scale 1:12 .

The rearfender in this Kit is cast on ,which is not advanced for my build.
Here to specify with seperated heckfender around the alignment .

The body was cut and the center sektion pulled downwards with tape and glued together .

I poured the fenders to the half in a Silicone form ,this range was sufficient off in each case .

Greets Lutz

Impressive work indeed, the shapes are dead-on!

Shaping the Rearfender
I cut the front of the fender to get a nice fit to the body .
After first try ,it was amazing , the fender fits to the body as well as possible .

Here is the original frame of REVELL Police Bike ,which I will use now ,
Are not content with the length of the framework and the angle of the downtubes and the steering head .
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/3865313665623435.jpg

Here you can see ,how I have stretched thr frame forwards around 0,43"
and the steering head put down ,as well as the steering head increased .

yes ,I need a lot of tape ,to hold the parts in correct position .

Greets Lutz

Wow thats some great building

Hi All ,

the fenders aren`t in the right heights to fits with the body ,so I had to fill 0.293" each .

Hi ,

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/6263613632373236.jpg

Someone out there ,how I can manage these parts ,my ears are open for any Information .
Greets Lutz

i'm thinking that the grills will look cool as photoetched parts. but requires a lot of work designing them, and finding someone to produce them after that.

Nice work Lutz.


BTW: If you need any pictures of this bike I may be able to help ya out. I live a couple miles away from Arlen's shop and I will use any excuse to go out there. I worked in a custom shop and a dealership for 13 years and watched this bike being built.

I can't say I like the 1:1 bike, but the work you put into creating it is nothing short of amazing.

Very, very, very cool work so far. I am just amazed at not only your vision but how well you're going about it. Keep it up!

Hi All.
Thanks for your positive comments
this projekt isen`t cancelt ,but in moment there is a lot other work to do...
So stay tuned ...
Regards Lutz
