Kevin,
Gorgeous work...I too would like to know how you got those perfect stripes on the wheels Like the rivets too!

He holds the paintbrush in one spot and spins the wheel.

Or he has a real steady hand and a lot of patience.

Many thanks.
The wheels have disks made from 1/16" plastic, and drilled out the holes with and disk in a drill, and while turning at slow speed touched a 00 pin stripe brush to it, same with fly wheel.
That big stack has got to go!

Nick

Is there anything on the front where the sticker goes?
|
Les
|
Now you have done all the improvements, are you going to steam it?

It was steamed up to test the joints after reassembly, but not with the wheels on, that will be next...naturaly.
Nick, I am hoping to find a small medalion of some kind to put on the front.
I will probably stop working on it for a while so I can get some other projects done. When its all compleatly finished I'll get som pictures posted.
