| Chevy Trike (1/24 scale) The 2005 Megacity Madness Car Contest in Toronto had a theme build "50 years of Chevy small block". I decided to build this model of a V8 powered trike for this theme. I built it as a fun idea over the summer and someday I may change some of the following: - better foot rests, brake and gear shift levers - better rear shocks - fuel lines and additional electrical wiring - a stronger and more realistic from steering system - rear fenders and enclosure for the engine Base Kit(s): Maisto diecast Harley-Davidson Monogram (?) Ferrari Testarossa Revell '57 Chevy - Maisto diecast Harley-Davidson provided the front wheel, forks, fender, gas tank and front frame, with an additional front brake disk taken from another similar diecast - The rear frame, suspension, transmission and fuel injection came from the Ferrari kit (a 'glue bomb' from a Toronto hobby shop) - An old '57 Chevy provided the small block engine (again, a glue bomb) - Wheels, tires, radiator, alternator, battery and other bits and pieces from my parts box. - paint is Tamiya Mica Red over a silver base Click on Thumbnail to see detailed image.
