GTmike400 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Thanks a lot...now another project to consider. I'm never going to finish anything. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dag Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Got my tank pretty well fitted on my Torch bike. I nestled the tank down over the top tube far enough to make it appear as though it has a curved one, I didn't want to get into modifying the frame too much. I do plan on raking the head tube back a fair amount to stretch it out a bit. I hope to finish all 3 of mine in the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt T. Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Here's my entry for the build-off. If you'd like to see more of it, it's also in the 'Under Glass' forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H. Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I guess I should post mine here, as well as the "Under Glass" forum, also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Metallic Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Just a quick rifling thru the box produced these impressions. 1) Most of the parts are a mix and match of other parts offered in the previous 4 kits 2) Unique parts include sweet wheels, seat, flame motif primary cover and air cleaner. 3) Real Fire decals look great, hope they apply just as good as they look. That's all for now. I love these kits. I also saw the Gambler, #6 of 6 of the Revell Choppers, but didn't have enough cash to pick it up. Great kits, if you haven't gotten yourself one yet... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismaelg Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 OK, so I've joined the club. I hope to have it finished by the Feb. deadline. My idea is to keep the frame, wheels and engine, everything else is a toss up. I'm a total motorcycle ignorant, so I have no idea what the heck I'm doing I hold Jairus responsible for this. This is totally his fault. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajay Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Couldn't decide on what direction to go with my 2nd chopper (based on the Torch kit) - I recently completed an orange Nissan S15 Silvia with a c/f hood & liked the colour combination so I thought why not build a "tuner" chopper. The mudguards & tank have been cf'd using Scale Motorsport 1/12th carbon fibre twill weave (bit of a nightmare) & the frame is VW Brilliant Orange. Sorry the pics aren't the best quality.

Ajay Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Just a quick update - I've decided to have a go at detailing this one with plug/brake/fuel/oil lines etc. I've cleared the cf decal & added it to the chain cover, oil tank & handlebar grips. (CF sends my camera loopy !). The seat has been covered with self adhesive leather from Model Factory Hiro - shouldn't be too long before it's finished.
