Thread: 2/3 scale Indian Straight Four.

Thanks Keith,
I'm really looking forward to your new build mate.
Your punning like a champion.
But remember that some people can find them a little on the nose.
That last one may have been a little obscure, sometimes their hard to pick.

Cheers mate
Trev.

I got the stand for the bike together enough for a test fit.
It's the first time I've been able to see the Indian free standing without it's work frame.
There's room for improvement in a few places but that can be done while it's striped down for paint.
Overall I'm really happy with it.



I've got some tyres on the way their the largest I could find to fit the wheels.
And the tread pattern is not to bad for a road tyre appearance.
When they get here I'll be able to mount the rear mudguard properly and add the support's to it.
In the meantime I'll make the small gear that runs off the speedo drive.

Cheers
Trev.

Awesome Trev...

But can you get a move along please.....i'm hanging to see it painted....

Seriously though, bloody good effort mate, she's looking fantastic.

Steven.

Looks like it's ready to ride........ better keep Dave away from it before it's full done.........

I couldn't agree more Steven it's time to get some colour on the bike.
The tyres arrived yesterday so I put them straight on.
I'll make the supports for the rear mudguard over the next few days, and then it will be time
to strip everything down for paint



With the new tyres on the length and height of the bike is set 1650 x 820mm.
The Coke can gives a good idea of the scale.



I made the small sprocket that runs off the speedo drive.
It runs the transfers that operates the speedo, or at least it would in the real world.

There's a hole lot of little things that I need to finish but they can be done as the bike is being painted.

Your right Crowie once the Indian is done I've got no hope of keeping Cowboy off it.
But what can you do
You've got your little smurf, I've got mine

Cheers
Trev.

I wonder if there is a little blue smurf in a cowboy getup????

Oh my there is a Cowboy Smurf!
Got to get me one.





I'm ordering one today it's just to good

...... Love it.....

You're right mate!
I'll need to get the it spot on.
I think the hat may need a little work.
It hasn't quite got Cowboys style.

Cheers

Reshape the knob on the crown and it will be spot on, with filler of cause!

A quick wardrobe change, and there you are Dave.

I think your right.
But just a little work on the hat!
