slusher Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Bike is looking killer Darren. Great idea on the seat but to see the underside of the seat you if its glued you would have to turn the bike sideways or upside down...
Darren B Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks Carl, on the idea for the bottom of the seat its just to cover the glue and material on the very bottom, for sure hard to see but if any one was to look under it just wanted to cover up some of the adhesive used to glue the material down. When they judge for our quarterly contest we have a member that brings in a large mirror and a clear shelve that we place the models on and there may be a chance at that angle to see the rough area.
Darren B Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 mocked up seat on bike, was worried the red would not work with the orange but I think its an ok match...
bobthehobbyguy Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Really coming together. Love the theme. The artwork on the tank is great. Nice job of painting the barb wire.
