Ricksha
Here's my first and last time building the Ricksha.. I enjoy building thses
1/20th scale kits they are a good challenger in detailing. I know the Ricksha
has to be the ugliest duck of all Showrods.? But I just wanted a shot at these
colorful headers, well the whole colorful rod..
After days of figuring what colors would go with the Decals I settled on Orange
for the frame and cab, Purple for the front and rear fenders. Interior seat
was done in a drybrushed 2 tone of leathers then rubbed with oil from my
skin to make it look like it was used leather.. I added a pint `o rice on the
seat.. I didn't like the samurai sword steering set up so I made a Handle bar
steering and used the sword for the shifter.
The Roof is a flat Tan and I added a mesh curtain to keep the (funnybugs)
TiTi Flys out.. Budda is detailed in Gold and the motor is Green
with colorful fanblades and headers.
I didn't like the dragon air scoop so I used this one. I also opened the sides
of the front fenders to show the Cool spoked wheels with Yellow sun caps..
All in All a pain to build but it's over..
