Le Zèbre Type A 1910, scale 1:5

[Egon]

How cute, no problem with the fireing order there.

Looks very good!

A very interesting endeavor Marek, this is going to be fun to see progress. A very simple automobile yet just as Ken found with the buckboard, more complex then you can imagine at the onset. You should paint it red and call it speedy, LOL.

Today the crankcase was on the plan.

For this I just like the other part of this individual drums forming built then the two halves of the crankcase.
I started in which I marked the holes on 6 plates and is concomitant with a 5 mm drill drilled.
Furthermore, I have put 2 holes in the middle of the plates in order to prevent twisting behind pins by one.
Then from residual material followed the spacers and the wheels were covered.

Since I do not have a lathe, I screwed the drums on a mandrel and finished with my mini-drill and sandpaper.

Now I was able to cut the sheath to the appropriate areas and put it all together once provisionally.

Some motors have the crankcase stand by the name "ZEBRE" if I'll pose this letter with my noodles, I do not know.

[dpride]

Good idea with the 'noodles'. We built 3 large scale model train carriages for a TV commercial a while back and because there were so many rivets on the panels, we used split lentils and then painted over. When the model was put in storage the mice ate all the rivets.

[jfonticobal]

Perfect start Egon. What a good idea with the noodles, thanks.

Do you will use the parts you are making as a patern for future cast?

I have not used this terminology for years but it is so accurate in this situation, this is just plain nifty!

Hello,

Today I continue to face the crankcase. My first step was the reduction of the collar outside.



Now I put a thin leaf between the two halves and glued the continuous tubes.
Through the resulting gap I could after drying with a 0.2 mm saw cut apart the two halves.
In this way, I am now certain that later pass when mounting the threaded rods and straight.

Now I could finish the transition piece for the clutch, which had been as individually structured in layers as a cylinder.



Now came the braces, here I have a curious and Recorded with 3 other plates in a bracket and filed.



I have received 4 identical pursuit.



The crankcase is now almost complete

[spinellid82]

Very nice Marek, I am impressed.

[unipart]

Marek, I have a set of blueprints of "Le Zèbre" made by Christian H. Tavard.
If needed, just shout.

Hello,

I have already a lot but maybe yes what is it to me what's missing.
I would be very pleased about a copy.

Send them to check on my mail address keramh@wettringer-modellbauforum.de

To get information is the best, a big thank you in advance.

Hello,

the crankcase was as ready, now would be the side motor mount attached.
Since these, but slightly obliquely downward and I made ​​the documents available to me this angle can not correctly identify
I'm this problem from behind. The transmission has absolutely dare right supports to the frame so I can when this is done,
determine the height and slope of the motor mounts.

Now, to get to the gear I have to build in between the exposed clutch.



Unfortunately I have just returned from this little part real footage

I started again as I have transferred the dimensions from the drawing and transferred to a corresponding number of slices.
I glued these discs and screwed onto a mandrel.



According to this method I have been ready all parts of the clutch, now I have to make my only thought as I build this great spring.



Here is a picture where you can see the clutch begin to

[keramh]

Hello,

further we go ...

Today I started with the transmission. The first two pictures.




Then followed the usual steps; transfer degree mark cut, grind and glue.


Now I have to align myself a subframe built to attach the brackets.

Hi Marek,
staying close to your build. Maybe I can help with your spring problem...even in autumn. Just tell me dimensions like diameter and length needed.
Cheers
