spidey bike + figure

[slightfan]

Hi everyone just starting this bike ,that have had for a while now will also be doing rider figure to go along with it

[joelwideqvist]

Great, hope this one turns out well. I'd like lots of comments on the figure decals as I have them myself. I think MSM has done a great job but some decals (read helmet ones) looks really tricky. Same on the Rossi rider decals from the same company.
Best of luck and I'm hoping for lots of progress pics.
By the way, are you using any other after market parts? PE, renaissance M1 parts, Tamiya front forks etc?

I'm looking forward to the progress and information on the figure/decals as well.

I hope to see soon updates but what figure you will use? maybe El oso kit? or a Heller rider?

[slightfan]

Hi ya Joel ,
Apart from decals will be using the front fork set,st27 pe and some c/f hopefully
will try some scratch building on some pieces.Wife complained about what I spent on this kit already without getting the renaissance M1 parts.

For the rider figure I have 3-4 Tamyia figures that I may use ,then again I also have a fogerty figure that I have had for a while that is more up to date.



posting pic's soon of engine ,and frame which has been filled in to make a solid frame

This is cool! It's going to look great with the figure on the back. Are you going to pose the bike in mid ride? How do you intend to hold it up, if so?

[slightfan]

Well finally made here ,Have been a bit busy only get a ccouple hours building 1 day a week at moment(work is interferring now if I give up work and send the misses out to work I might get a couple of bikes built
I had taken about 5-6 pic's but this is only one that turned out any good for this one will take some more like about 50 might get at least 2 or 3 out of that

Hi Shayne. This will look cool when done. I have the same bike to do minus rider but keep putting it off because of the decals - bit scary!
Cheers

Very nice .... are you using the Renaissace decals or SMS?

[joelwideqvist]

Wait a bloody second here!!! Are you already done with the decal job?? And you call yourself slow ;-) Just kidding. Looks great. Seat and muffler is very good. Have you or any one else reading this had the chance to have at look at the SMS rider figure for this sheet? Better or worse than Heller and El OSo?

looking good, Shayne!

What red did you opt for in the end?

[rrutherford]

its a MSM Creation set of rider decals, not SMSport. I still have some if anyone feels inspired lol

Yes of coarse, my bad. But the question still stands, how is their figure compared to the others?
