NEW 1/3 scale bike project!!! New update.... SEAT!!!
rakas17:
So I thought I'd have a go at freestyling the seat as it would be grief to try and draw in CAD.
I started off with one of the old kashi's from the ripper as I figured they would have a similar general shape and it was already semetrical and stuff.
Then I started just covering it in body filler until it looked more likem the WTB seat.
when I was happy with it I marked where the stitching is on the seat and stuck down some thin lines of masking tape (forgot to do photos at this stage, sorry) to represent the raised embroidery.
Then I painted it with 2pac primer to soften the whole thing off. So I gave it a clean up and moulded it in silicone so I could cast them in resin like before.
Heres a pic of the pattern (grey) and a couple of resin castings. Theres also a start of a rail in this pic.
Heres some pics of the model seat with the real seat, looking at these now I see more and more differences every time I look at them. It should be fine though when it's painted and stickered etc...

Exactly, my resources are getting drained so I'm trying to be productive and smash out as much of this as I can while I've got the chance. Should really be being productive looking for work but can't be arsed and wanna get this done ;D
