Revell Custom Chopper set

[crazyjim]

This is Revell's new chopper.  I finished it in Pearl Ex aztec gold over 3 different shades of grey primer and then shot everything with a couple clear coats.  It's all wired up and plumbed for gas and oil.

Very awesome bike I love the line that you used for the brakes, if you do not mind me asking what did you use for the brake lines? I really love how this one came out, very clean and the gold looks awesome.

Brake. clutch, and throttle are Beadalon 7 strand bead stringing wire, .018 (0.46mm) x 60' and I use a #1 or #2 Beadalon crimp bead at each end.  Part # JW03T and I get it at Michaels.

Thank you very much, it looks so real will have to get some of that... again very cool build.

Thanks Scott & Lloyd.

Yeah Darren.  That Beadalon wire is a pretty good interpretation of coated braided stainless steel lines used on 1:1 scooters.  You can probably get it on ebay or Amazon too.

Thank you so much Jim, just picked up mine at michaels for $4.10 they have a 50% off coupon on their smart phone app. This is gonna add greatly to my build, again thank you.

[crazyjim]

Did you get the crimp beads too?
