If you want the real thing my Bro's selling his at the moment! As for my name, my fun car is an Elise... so it was a no brainer

You drive a Lotus?

will do but having had a look around I dont think I am in the same league as you guys.....Yet

This is my last model but it was a bit rushed so the next few are going to be a lot more detailed.

Motard · #12 03-13-2004, 04:17 PM

Looks very nice, I am looking at getting a bike kit as I have not built one yet.

blueboost · #13 03-13-2004, 04:24 PM

everyone here has their own level of skill. dont feel as though you cant show your work because its not good enough! no one here is perfect (well, maybe a couple of these guys are LOL) your bike looks great you obviously have the necessary skills. theres lots of good helpers here to make it even greater!

Thanks for the comments guys
Cars are more my thing, this is the only bike I have done. Continuing on the Syclone tomorrow. Once I get it to a semi built stage I will put it on the work in progress area.

Verminator · #15 03-15-2004, 07:49 AM

Nice attempt looks ok to me, my only comment would be that as these bikes are a decent scale the brakediscs need drilling through or at least give a wash of black to pick out the detail. Other than that carry on
