I was thinking of using spokes! I reckon using them means I can swap them out easily as I want a few different poses.Good luck with Mint’s legs
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.
Yeah it seems Mint didn't care too much for his chainrings...or his chain for that matter!Quite cool, looks good but the chainrings teeths are a bit worn out, needs a new one
Thanks so much! Almost done with a little video about brake lever so will post that here.Bloody hell this is awesome!!! Looking forward to seeing more.
yep @stevet1 your right, it was pretty straighforward. Just took some time to get the shape of the chain rings. I've made a jig to cut the brakes out and have filed down some aluminium bar but need to modify the jig to get the holes straight.I like your ambition BUT can't help thinking the crankset looks just about the easiest thing on the Mint bike to make.
Good luck with those Onza brakes...
Thanks so much @mattpayne! There's some challenges ahead for sure, attempted machining a test piece for the shallow channels in the Pace tubes...that will be fun!flipping heck! thats some effort for the chainring!! kudos for the patience!
good luck with the rest for the build! both model and IRL
