Tim Moore Posted May 9 Author Share #37 Posted May 9 Inspired by the blackness and metallica of the wheels I seem to be heading towards a sort of black and white rendition, bereft of any actual historical fidelity. The tank, fenders and other body parts are in a dark iron lacquer, just because I happened to have it on the table and liked the finish. Looking forward to adding all the bits and pieces of this motorbike. Might seem a little boring colour wise, but I thought all the saddlebags, seat and other paraphernalia that is in this kit might provide a good opportunity for colour contrast with the overall black theme.

Tim Moore Posted May 12 Author Share #38 Posted May 12 Just a bit tricky installing the lines from the oil tank due to access, and there not being any positive connection point at either end. Thought about using some brass wire instead of the plastic parts but went with the kit part and paint at the end of the day, think it’s believable. Rear wheel and chain install is next. yvesvidal, GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and 10 others 13 Quote Tim Moore Perfect is the enemy of good In progress IJN Pre-Dreadnought Battleship Mikasa, 1:200, Hobby Boss On Deck DH.9a Ninak, 1/32, Wingnut Wings The Blue Sky Company, 1:48, Sierra West Models Completed Fiat 806 Grand Prix 1:12, Italeri; Fifie 1:32, Amati Victory Model; HMS Bounty 1:48, Artesania Latina; Endeavour 1:60; Corel; Miss Severn 1:8, Legend Model Boats; Calypso, Billing Boats; Carmen Fishing Trawler, A.L. ; Dallas Revenue Cutter, A.L., Bluenose, A.L.

Tim Moore Posted May 14 Author Share #40 Posted May 14 Thanks Patrick! Bit of a minor struggle getting the rear wheel and chain assembly in place since it is all connected and has to be shoehorned into the frame. Thankfully managed it without messing things up too badly. After cementing it all I realized I had missed a small internal lever assembly that was supposed to go in first. Will be an interesting exercise in surgery trying to get it in now but hopefully not impossible. Most of my detail painting and aging is being done with combinations of Vallejo steel, dark steel, aluminium, black and metallic black, and oil stain. I’m pleased with the way the hub looks with the respoked wheel, all looking very metallic.

Danstream Posted May 14 Share #41 Posted May 14 It is a beautiful model, everything looks so believable, the metallic parts are great. In connection with the spoked wheel, let me have a little digression that might be amusing for some. When I a was a fresh graduated engineer, during a job interview, I was asked to discuss the loading capabilities of thin rod loaded in axial compression. Clearly as intuition said and as confirmed by the maths behind, long and thin rods could not take meaningful loads when the radius is very, very smaller than the length. The next question was: "then, how a spoked wheel of a bike can carry your weight?". After a bit of thinking, I concluded that the weight is carried by the upper spokes that are loaded in tension, so, when riding a bike you are 'hanging' on the upper spokes and nor supported by the lower ones. This was a surprising fact for me that I never realized before. By the way, the interview was successful.

Egilman Posted May 14 Share #42 Posted May 14 It's also an application of the Lever in the round.... All wheels are... But that's an aside... Yes your suspended on the few spokes on the tops of the rims... The spokes at the rear of the front wheel drag the front wheel from the axle at the same time every where it goes as well, and the rear wheel is drug by the axle as well with a slight bit of differing physical forces acting on it... Structural strength is maintained by stressing the wire spokes in tension, Adjusting a wire spoked wheel is just about a lost art today... And if I remember correct the lacing of the spokes is just as important to power transmission as it is for structural strength.... There a lot of practical tech out there that's being left behind as engineering advances... chadwijm6, Old Collingwood, Danstream and 4 others 7 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, actually, on top of what I said (I simplified a bit the story), as you said, all the spokes must be pre-stressed in tension (the lost art), so the ones on top increase cyclically their tension load and the ones on the bottom decrease it without becoming compressed and so avoiding buckling. Torque (of the engine or the brakes) is transmitted from the hub to the rim thanks to the eccentric positioning of the spokes (if the spokes passed through the axle, no torque could be transmitted).

Tim Moore Posted Tuesday at 04:51 PM Author Share #46 Posted Tuesday at 04:51 PM Enjoyed the spoke discussion… I’ve been pre stressed and tense myself lately; our modeling hobby is good therapy. The seats in the kit are a black flexible plastic, good quality but looked a little plain. I wrinkled up some leftover tissue from my Guillows spitfire and applied it to them with a fluid mix of wood glue and water, then a few tries with various brown paints until it looked something like well worn leather. Finished it off with a few brass pin heads from my wooden ship box, and a bit of Vallejo gloss oil stain on the saddle to give the impression of wear and sheen. I cut off the shielding from the headlamp just because I felt like it, and because the kit has rather a nice lens I wanted to see. Added bumpers on the tank. Haven’t put in any tubing into the machinery yet, hoping I can do all that at the end.

Tim Moore Posted 18 hours ago Author Share #53 Posted 18 hours ago Thanks guys, I really appreciate you looking in, your interest and encouraging remarks. Starting to come together. The front fork assembly is fragile and a bit wonky in this kit, still have some adjustments to make. Cut some thin strips of medical glaze and wrapped it around the exhaust pipe before giving it a black wash and painting the muffler. Still have to fabricate something to stand off the exhaust so it doesn’t interfere with the kickstand; minor kit flaw or more likely I just screwed something up although I’ve been unable to fathom what.

Baker Posted 18 hours ago Share #56 Posted 18 hours ago 48 minutes ago, Tim Moore said: Still have to fabricate something to stand off the exhaust so it doesn’t interfere with the kickstand; minor kit flaw or more likely I just screwed something up although I’ve been unable to fathom what. You didn't screwed something up. I had the same problem in the 80's.

shipman Posted 12 hours ago Share #57 Posted 12 hours ago The kickstart/silencer clearance:- All the Brit bikes have clearance issues here, it is close. Even on a real bike, it's common to find the lever just brushes the silencer. More often than not, it's down to a washer just the right thickness where the exhaust mounts to the frame. A tedious and frustrating thing to get correct. Egilman, Baker, Old Collingwood and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
