Jitter Bug Bycycle Boat

[Gordon Ferguson]

Bit difficult to decide where to post this , but as its got boat in the title we'll stick it here.

All started when I mucked up some PE spokes on a 1/35 scale bicycle and therefore was left with a frame with no wheels , then I remembered this buried in the "one day projects file"



Some plastic card and brass tubing got me to this stage





Things were going well until I got a bit too keen with the hair dryer to dry off the paint



Cut out the bent frames and replaced with some 30 thou rod, the wood finish done with the standard WW1 Modellers approach of light coloured acrylic undercoat, brushed out burnt umber oil paint and the a top glazed coat of Tamiya clear yellow





Once I have figured out how to display/use this piece I will add the rudder, which fits on front of bike.

Always something of interest to be found on this forum, a nice build there Gordon (and painted too  ).
Found a couple of photos that should be put in your "one day" file

I never much cared for scallops, but those look tasty.

Nice work Gordon. I like the simulated shellac finish on the wood.
