Really nice diorama.

Really nice build. I like building the Tamiya bike kits. I've done a few.

Cool. I was Tool Design Engineer at Grumman in the 80's when those were being made. I used to see them (and all the other Grumman planes) on the assembly lines.

Great build! That's a beast of a machine.

That's cool. I loved that show when I was a kid. You can watch it on Tubi TV.

That's a cool build. I love Heavy Metal. I was just listening to the sound track last week.

That's a really great build!

That's really good.

I really like it!?

That is a really cool (as in cold war too) build.

Cool build, but did you know that David Bowie's eyes were two different colors?

Awesome builds of totally impractical and really cool bikes!

Nice builds.?

Cables? You mean the rubber hoses that are used for the brake lines and stuff? Most just stay on. When they don't I use a little super glue.

Great build and one wild ride!

Really nice clean build.

Pretty cool build.

I like it!

Nice little build.

Sure, It's 1/32. The chassis and engine block halves are diecast metal. The spokes are photo etched, an inner and outer dished piece. The wheel rims are plastic as is everything else that isn't metal. It has nice rubber tires too. I stripped the chrome off the wheels and the valve cover. I painted the valve cover in AlClad polished alum. I used Molotow chrome on the strips on the running board and the wheel spinners. I painted the wheels because cars of that era had painted wheels. I didn't see any cars of that time period with nice chrome spoked wheels. I went through the trouble of "painting" the dashboard trim rings in Molotow but the decals covered them all up. I didn't want to individually cut out those tiny little circles. The kit also came with nice wire mesh for the radiator grill and headlights too.

Thanks for looking.

I like the way it's coming along.

It's coming along really well. I found this interesting video on YouTube about Heavy Metal: Remember, nobody messes with Harry Canyon.
