I took a Kevlar/Carbon fibre silencer from a 500cc Grand Prix bike, and turned it into an antenna.
And mounted it on the antenna mounts, would make sense, right
Added a Single bristle from a floor brush to make the transmitting filament (blue bit).
Added small assembly to hold additional Antenna points with Short and Long range Filaments.
Made this GPS module (Galaxy Positioning System), then fitted it, then made another.
Fitted a Stabilization Beam and Tail Alignment Fixture.
Made and fitted a Rear Piston Assembly
Turned a deoderant cap, some styrene shapes and a few other bits and bobs into a Micro/Expansive Long Range Sonar Array.
Included a few bike suspention parts in the mix and........Bingo.
Mounted together with main Navi/Com module.
Primer,
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer.
Assembled,
.
Thats as far as i have gotten right now, was to impatient i managed to put some fantastic finger prints on one of the assemblies?
But, anyhoo. Some people have said that it looks so functional, so i think ifinally figured how scratch building works for me, if i can give an assembly a 'Name', it gives me a direction to pursue as far as composition is concerned. Example , Rear Piston Assembly to me would indicate some aparatus that is mobile, adjustable and moveable. To me this is a cylinder, like a shock absorber with some kind of valve assembly, so i have a basic point to start from
.
Sorry to waffle, but that is how i design all my assemblies i make for the MK.1
, "Does it look like it would work?" That is the bottom line .
