Presenting the Autobahn-Drive - standard and mini-size

[Thomas_H]

I am proud to present two of my babys that were born as pre-production units.

The Autobahn-Drive 

Those are actually based on the DOD 250 with a few gimmicks.
feel free to visit my site to find out more.
The small one is actually even smaller than a 1590A, its a 1550A !!!!



Here you can see what is inside:

Standard 1590B


Super Mini 1550A

Both look really great, I love the raw aluminum with black markings and white knobs. Is that black silkscreen, or just decals?

[Thomas_H]

None,
Its positive image toner transfer. I dont like waterslide decals or other adhesives.  As I also do custom acid etching with negative images it was a a short way to go.

I am glad you like the look. I spent months to try out things to find a look-and-feel that appeals to me.
The production units will be powdercoated and have the shiny aluminium top.

I am currently working on color graphics and laser etching to complete the offer.

Just having a deja'vu here... Didnt i just see this ? A small one and her big brother.

Well man, these looks just great too. You definately have a taste for good artwork.

Cheers

Very nice. Is the Kraftwerk reference intentional? Is the next one a Tour De Pedal?

[Thomas_H]

Yes, its intentional, but its not a reference to Kraftwerk. I thought about using Route66 or something like that but as a German Autobahn was much more appealing
