2/3 scale 1916 Ariel outfit

This is another motorcycle I did
It's a 2/3 scale scratch build 1916 Ariel outfit
Without going into alot of blah blah, the horn on the bike is a great example of how I build
The bulb is two underarm rollon lids cut down to two half sphere's, making a ball
A small pvc pipe extension is added, and blended with body filler to form the shape of the bulb
The centre section is pvc pipe, softened over a candle flame to form the bends
again any imperfections are taken out with filler
The mouth of the horn is a mould taken from the top of a 2litre Coke bottle

Thats cool. So, is this a working model and how big would it actually be?

Hay Kane
The Ariel is 2/3 scale of the real thing
It's 1600mm at it's longest piont, 900mm at it's widest and 800mm high
It's not a working model, it's scratch built from stuff from the tip
The thing about my work is as a rule Artists say there models and modelmakers say there

Cool is an understatement,Trevor. Abso- friggin'- lutely amazing says it better for me. And,it damned sure is artistry too. Best to you. Bill

Did you weave the side car?

Hay Zenrat
When I was a kid, I'd reckon that a little old lady who could teach you to weave would be a dim a dozen.
Not so much nowdays, had to teach myself.

Cool. My mother has done a bit (lop sided laundry baskets mainly) but the lady next door to her when I grew up was always knocking out wicker creations.
