Hear, hear !

At last we'll be able to get rid of those oversized matchbox bikes.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Look good to me.
Great ideas on the bikes.
Look forward to seeing the riders.
Will there be mounted and dismounted?

Moved it on a bit, managed to figure out how to do the exhaust downpipes  :)

Just a few more bits to do, and off to Fenris it goes

Most excellent!  8)

Will you eventually do Harley type bikes as well?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

That is some shit-hot good work. Nice to see such fidelity in the model.

I think the finished model will be metal, as Fenris can put bikes and riders into one mould. He may make it available as a short resin run too.

I expect somewhere along the way, there will be something Harley-esque, because you just have to have a rat bike low rider  :D

Once its all finished, I will pop up a set of pics, and add a few bits n bobs to show folks what you can do with the model.

Also making a selection of add on bits for diecast models, think hood mounted blowers, V8 engines, armour plate, pintle mounted weapons ( flamers and harpoons), and various other suitable gubbins, to customise your models. Gone down the 28mm route, as its the best scale for me to work in, not sure the old eyes are up to anything smaller these days

thanks for all the kind comments gents  :)

Finally - motorcycles I can use for my Rollerball game!

Beautiful work. Further down the line, any chance of a big 'cruiser' bike, like a Harley-Davidson ElectroGlide?

Not tried anything with a fairing yet, so once I know I can make something like that, we can see what Fenris wants
Big Harley is a possible, as its useful as a police bike
