Title: The VAN :(
Post by: Borgy on January 31, 2006, 02:47:25 AM
here's some links to pics of the Van build, there large pics so I have put links to them rather then post the actual pics.

Nothing special yet but it will be in a few weeks, just trying to decide what colour to paint it.

I think I'll do it like this


It's hard to think of a good colour as the sides are so flat, nice curves wopuld have been better to give it some shape

I use Auto Aircolours from this place  http://www.custompaintshop.co.uk

Acrylic based so I can use them without all the masks and suits but I thern have someone else 2 pack it afterwards with clear. Small stuff I clear with cans here.

I'll be interested to see how the van turns out. I trust you'll be sending Yodie some snaps & a brief run down of the procedure for the Motors section when you're done?
Have you seen the fibreglass Sportster tanks they're advertising on that site? 30 quid for a fibreglass copy of a Harley Sportster tank. That's a bargain for anyone who wants a dummy tank for their trike ain't it.
