Last Sunday while I was mowing the lawn, I hat this weird idea… To have a lawn mower in 1/25… I searched on the internet, but nothing interesting… :-/So I started to build it like the “old” lawn mowers, with the opening part on the side instead of in the rear.
Odd little build…why not use a Harley motor? Maybe from a 1/35 kit . Of course the drive for the blade will be interesting , lay the v-twin on its side and run some velocity stack/injectors straight up and exhaust pipes up to the moon and then…Ahh I give up!
i put a little generator in the back of my model ute, which would make a fairly realistic engine for a mower, if that was the way you wanted to go. can’t remember where ii got it, but it was aftermarket model supply, its white metal.
The gas powered RC model airplane engine would get the most smiles, especially when you fire it up and it sounds like a lawnmower!!..now if it was drivable with a remote and had a cutting blade!!oOHOHOOooo look out!
Here a mock up with the engine. The engine could be build in 3 way, stock, custom and competition. The competition one has a blower.
So I though this is a crazy idea to put a V8 on a lawn mower, so why don’t make a good crazy job using a blower… And after, I remember that I saw a engine with two blowers, so two it is better than one, and I went in this directions…
Google Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, check the stuff he made and look at the way he proportioned the individual parts in his creations-especially the small vehicles…
