Build thread

[Elrod4u3]

Okay guys, as promised I'm going to start a series of threads showing my progress on my new chopper motorcycle model built from scratch. This photo is showing the first materials I will use to build the frame. I hope you guys have a lot of patience because it usually takes me at least 3 weeks or more, depending on how complex the model is to complete it. As you can see, I'm starting with small wooden dowel rods and a sturdy piece of wire.

I've started the frame for my chopper motorcycle model. You can see that I've glued the dowel rods to form a frame and the heavy guage wire is curved to hold the custom gas tank I plan to make. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Great stuff! I've been looking for such a thread for a long time. Thank you very much for posting. Don't worry about the time. There are several builds here which take years till completion, so a few weeks are short compared to them. This hobby should mainly be fun, it's no race.

Get a round file, to get the cross members ti fit the frame rails tight, less adhesive is needed. . Just out of curiosity, are you using 2 part epoxy or glue" Looking good!
