Hi All,

I started a new build last night; something I've been trying to work up the courage to do for a while.  Anyone care to guess exactly what it might be?

[Luckyjoe]

Is it a WIP Groucho Marx mask?

I'll go out on a limb here and say some kind of bike...............

That doesn't really meet my "exactly" criterion.

It's gonna be one of the bikes from "Rollerball".  (The original)

That frame template is strangely-shaped. I'd guess either a Zündapp 800 or one of the BMW R series (interwar/WW2 era, for a change?).

I had to look that one up:



Interesting guess, but No.  Sort'a the right concept though.  Thanks for playing.

You're on the right track, although it's neither of these.  You're right that it's interwar though.

I was gonna say 'Tron', but I guess that's a no then

A 1930s Indian, then? Dare we hope for a 1937 Big Chief? Or, even better, an NSU 251-series krad?

[Mancha]

You should be thinking ease-of-construction as the rule for why I selected this particular bike. 

And I've actually already made something kind of like the Tron bike:



A little crude by current standards.

Something like that?

[kingpin]

well done moif reminds of the last vehicle I had to use whilst meeting the ex-wife

[Mancha]

Something like that?

No, but maybe next time.
