Scorpion Spearhead

Post by DennisM »

New project -
I´ve tried to nail a caged Scorpion many times, allways with a disapointing outcome.
This time it better be right.

Going for simple but functional.

Interesting Dennis, did you use an old ruler for the chassis? :D

Thanks -
The cage ended up so low, because I thought it should double as a motor endbell and gear cover protection.
It´s a skinny thing.

Thanks Lars,
I´ve explained myself wrong - I removed the anodizing (Eloxering) with caustic soda and gave it a quick rub over with autosol to shut the porres again. I like it in natural too :D

Hoping to fit the wheels from Rouge - these ones are on loan.
