While packing things up and going though the junk which seems to collect over time mysteriously , with out warming I might add !

I came across two Revell chopper kit's 1/12 scale . The wicked and Gambler . Both are just crying for more detail . So once I'm all settle into my new place , one will have to be built .

Your going to love those bikes Terri, they build up nice and look great finished. With a little work you can customize these babys into some wild hogs. Here's the last one I did in November.



The build up can be seen here

I hope to do another sometime soon. Looking forward to seeing yours.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Sounds great Terri, did you get different kits or doubles. I've thought of doing another myself, this time a bigger rear tire. I have an extra 1/12th car tire I'd like to use, something fat and low.

There are a few real bikes here in Buffalo that were converted using a 60 series tire. Also I like to cut of the swing arm and pin it with a shock.

You know what I just thought that would make a great project...a custom three wheel trike bike.



What do you say...you up to that!

I didn't grab doubles at all . Pick up the High Roller and Aces wild not very many options with the tanks or ex/pipes . Tins will get reshaped . Nice looking tri , it is different , just not for me .
I would like to place a rotary aircraft engine in one just not sure on the scale size needed for that . I did have a look on OCC web site and there is some really cool choppers giving me a few ideas .
