Re: Chopper

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.

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!

Re: Chopper

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!

Re: Chopper

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