Finished up my MPC Taco Trike. Final assembly went pretty well, and I’m happy with it! Just a fun, quick build that was something wacky and different. If you get in a rut with your usual subject matter builds, throw something like this in the mix for a fun break! There’s a few WIP pics in that section. As always, thanks for looking!70B7D01F-16F1-40C2-B883-916A51E701AC.thumb.jpeg.164430050ddba122d2e87aca1c8b90d3.jpeg208C0B00-CDF1-4511-A4A4-21D5A268E3A2.thumb.jpeg.4c4e2282d77b27e7de013aa49a8ba341.jpeg6DC6E6AD-ACB0-4FE5-B921-9ED79EECD286.thumb.jpeg.0947c7a322298630f30e794a5bc16fd9.jpeg256CE790-E038-491D-9E8C-47D5FC9982C7.thumb.jpeg.b59e46be167cd0ac57499f84d5571717.jpegD699F017-484F-47BB-B1B2-2CE7DFEDB03A.thumb.jpeg.de955c8504b8f8c42cfd4fa80ee58083.jpeg63E22B80-26A9-48D7-BEBA-1A3154AB52A5.thumb.jpeg.369cc8a0dc848b6b60aaa9522061ced9.jpeg9E37D2C6-0EF0-445B-9610-6BE9793CDDC8.thumb.jpeg.80018851d5c7759a43b028079a0a6362.jpegFEE42B8E-B2CF-45E6-91E6-66D9347B5836.thumb.jpeg.04ad0176058c459cbfaf98e062b6b38b.jpeg

Thank you guys, appreciate it! I happened to pick up the Milk Trike yesterday at the hobby shop myself! I’ll probably do all 6 at some point. Too much fun!

That is so awesome!

I can hardly wait for my local stores to open back up (everything's closed here due to Covid), and maybe I can get my hands on some of these!

Great work on this one - very inspiring! Gotta love the weirdness!

Thanks! Yes it’s fun! In fact, after finishing a super stock dodge the other day, I decided to build the Mailbox chopper! I’ll have the whole collection of them someday ?
