james f Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Ab Fab Gav . Are you going to put on the rubber skirts in front of the topper and along the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Cheers guys Ab Fab Gav . Are you going to put on the rubber skirts in front of the topper and along the side? Yes, I'll be painting it up then sorting out the skirts on it, probably out of an old inner tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Excellent Gav!!! Really coming together now. I see what you mean about the narrow wheel, what about a britains rear wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yes, I'll be painting it up then sorting out the skirts on it, probably out of an old inner tube Might I suggest you go for something a bit stiffer, like thin plasticard painted black. You may find that although the inner tube is to scale thickness-wise, it may be too floppy to correctly mimic the heavy rubber skirts on the real thing? Just a thought, you'll have to try it out and see anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Excellent Gav!!! Really coming together now. I see what you mean about the narrow wheel, what about a britains rear wheel? I had thought about them Jez, trouble is finding one the same size as a Cougar wheel in diameter, and keeping the cost down of course Might I suggest you go for something a bit stiffer, like thin plasticard painted black. You may find that although the inner tube is to scale thickness-wise, it may be too floppy to correctly mimic the heavy rubber skirts on the real thing? Just a thought, you'll have to try it out and see anyway I haven't quite decided on that myself yet James, I do have some thin card here as a back up if the tube doesn't go right though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 are you going to number them ha ha! how many are you making in total again? No I don't think I'll be numbering each one or issueing paperwork relating to it. I'm making 25 in this run and there will be another run of 25 in the autumn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
