Chuck Most Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This should be good- I still haven't ripped into any of the 1:12 Revell chopper kits I have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmartin Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 That should be a very cool project but...can you use any parts from the Revell chopper in it?? Aside from the wheels and maybe a headlight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfreak78 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Cool project John. Someday I plan on making a Yamaha XJ out of a Virago kit. The inline 4 on this looks pretty good. Do you have a suggestion for a Yamaha inline or would a Honda be ok for a start? I'm watching this unique bike you have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railfreak78 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Wow, now that you have posted a pic of the rear of that bike, you can really grasp the crazy angles that you have to capture. Your off to a great start and that rear end picture will surely make everyone realise the true extent of this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romell R Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 John you know this is an uncurable sickness that only gets worst as it progresses. And i can already see signs of the advanced stages of the illness, ie. super detailing, superfine airbrushing, winning awards, etc. Ive been looking for a cure but i havent found one as of yet. Looks like were both doomed to be modelers in our old age. LOL! well done my friend superb work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Simply amazing John, I hope to be able to make it to the show to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
