Revell Evil Iron Trike

[Wolfangel]

This is my version of the Evil Iron Trike.  This model has special meaning.  When I was 5 or 6 years old....my mom helped me build this.  This is the model that got me started building models......47 years ago.  I had to get it when it was reissued.   I did change a few things.  I cut the exhaust apart.....reconfigured it to the way I wanted.....glued it all back together and smoothed all the cut seams and sprayed them with Revell chrome.  I also made the exhaust supports coming off of the frame.  I wanted a hot rod style vibe.  I then added a strip of plastic above the skull to bring it out further to be more like a cloak.  The rest is pretty much the way it should be with a few touches of clear red on some engine parts.  The black at the top is a combination of paint and modified kit decals.  I painted it Tamiya bright mica red with pearl clear then 4 coats of normal clear over that.   I really like how this came out.  And it looks really good sitting next to the Tom Daniels King Chopper trike.

This is very timely, Marcus, I just posted my WIP of this kit a little bit ago. I can only hope mine turns out half as nice as yours!  I really like the extra touches that you added to yours.  Very cool!

Really cool builds.   Can you imagine rolling down the road on one of these things??  That would be a wild ride.
