Mint Sauce Bike - In Miniature

That’s really cool.

Question to the forum: has anyone actually built the mint sauce bike irl?
Funny you should ask as I’m doing that too! Got an RC200 hanging in the garage and most of the bits to make the bike in the picture. Grunge Guards I’m blue are hard to come by though!!

Hoping they will both be ready for Malverns next year.
 
as a rough idea, something like this could be possible in black TPU.
That’s brilliant!

My current idea is to carve a tyre from Jelutong and then cast that in resin to make a female mould then fill it with black silicone rubber.

I definitely think the 3D print would work too though so will see how things go.

Hugely appreciate the offer of help, amazing to know others are interested 👍🏼
 
Good luck with Mint’s legs :LOL:

I’m a master pattern maker by trade.. erm, craft.. crafty-trade... so I’m carving things out of wood, and making moulds on the daily, if you need any advice regarding moulding methods give me a hola, i’ll be happy to help... much easier printed as novo suggests, especially if you haven’t got a vacuum chamber to remove the air trapped around the tread pattern.

edit- if need be.. you can always make a vac chamber using a compressor and a tupaware tub.
