Scotties big Zundapp

[Tim Marlow]

Tim,

Your right it does look strange I think I need to tone down the exhaust a tad but, the frame will look older when I have finished.

Thanks Mark

Tone down the frame first :thumb2: The bike probably just needs a bit of dust to tie them together once you have…..

I agree mate the weathering will make the frame darker as well as loads of dust.

I have continued detailing some of the smaller parts. I am waiting for some brass rod before I can start on the linkages.

The riders foot rest has been cleaned up and a bolt head added.


The pillion passenger footrest has also been detailed with bolt head detail plus the pivot pin and finally the foot peg was drilled out and a piece of tube added.



Finally for today the fuel tap and pipe work was tweaked. the plastic replaced with wire and plastic tube and the fuel tap made from copper wire.



cheers

Luckily for you there is only one picture tonight. The prop shaft and hydraulic pipe for the rear brakes were appalling, moulded so far off centre that they would have been so thin when cleaned up. So it was easier to make them the prop shat is some ally tube with ally collars cut to size and the pipe work a mixture of the kit part punched nuts and wire.

Knit one, Perl two. Knit one, Perl two. Knit one......Don't care if this damn scarf takes 6 months to make with thread!!!

Seriously Bro, this is so, so good and soooo you!!! The pic of this on the bench, says it all. Love it!!! BTW, what wire are you using to do the linkage and fuel lines? It looks like it takes bends really well and smoothly too.

Prost

Quite simply superb. I like what you did with the decal - very good idea.

Allen, Thanks mate if your knitting is anything like mine it will take a year to do a row. The wire is just normal copper wire I have a selection of diameters and some with a coating and some plain, I have a pair of pliers that form a radius but tend to favour just bending round a suitable diameter.

Quite simply superb. I like what you did with the decal - very good idea.

Jim, Thank you matey really appreciate it.

Beautiful work, this just keeps getting better!

Paul, you are to kind thank you.

Nice thing about copper is it's malleability,so there isn't much, if any, "spring back" when forming or bending it.

Rick,
Very true I collect wire from all sources old flex etc I also have some steel wire of various gauges but I can't remember where I got it.
