finished this today, "torch" chopper from Revell, and I used the wheels from the "Crusader" kit

I know you've heard this before, but it looks just like a real bike sitting there. Great way you handled the exhaust pipes, never seen that done before. Also that seat deserves some credit for the realism too. Fantastic job.

The heat wrap on the exhaust looks totally realistic!! Great job on this one James, the realism of the subject is spot on! :cool:

That exhaust is really realistic and cool looking. That seat is awsome too, it looks so real. Amazing bike man, the flames are perfect too. Great job!

I'm not into choppers myself, but that's a nice looking build. As is usually the case with your builds, it's the little details that just make them look like you could just walk up to them, get in (or on) and drive away. Great job!

Excellent stuff James

Outstanding! :eek2:

I'm so glad to see that someone finally hooked up some linkage to the pedals. this is a fanstastic build, Jim! the flames look like they should be decals they are so crisp and flowing! top notch there buddy!

I used some normal masking tape and colored it with pastels.

Perfect.

Very nice!
Mine (started fri,) is going to look rather like that.

Looks great! Your bikes are stunning. I love watching them from start to finish. Or, at least, the tidbits you show us. Thanks!
