Someone mentioned Choppers?

Figured I'd help my introduction along by showing off my latest toy, a Panhead chopper. This one is based on a Maisto diecast '48 Panhead....with a number of mods. Oh yeah, it's 1/25th - even though I do have a 1/18 Maisto Panhead also.

Hope you like!

Wow! Very impressive! Add some leather stripes to the handles :wink:

Yep, just like that! Looks even better, Tim!

And I'm at it again. When I looked at the pics again, I noticed something was missing!

So, out came the black acrylic paint for a quick application of wash!

I touched the brake rotor, exhaust pipe shield, cylinder fins and springer springs to make them pop a bit. Looks more realistic too. Painted the valve stem while I was at it.
