60`s Revell "Evil Iron" Trike

[John Teresi]

Hello.......this post is a follow up from last weeks 60`s Revell "Dragon Fire" trike.........this Revell "Evil Iron" kit was a favorite of mine as a kid.......I bought 2 of these kits from Ebay.......and I thought I would make this practice one first and then make a better one at a latter time.......this was built 3 years ago.......I molded the body together......painted H.O.K. kandy red over gold base..... .airbrushed H.O.K. black fogging ........wired and plumbe.....thank`s for looking.

How does one man come up with so much talent.

Fantastic.

[bsoder]

That is a wicked lookin' trike John!..

[Railfreak78]

I love it! I like the fade on the paint and the way you did it around the frame and the gas tank. I like the engine detail and handlebars. The overall concept is creative and unique and nice work John.

? No disrespect John, but if this one is sub par, then, wow. I remember you posting your other dragon trike too, and you do some fine work. That paint is just outstanding.

When I saw the first pic, I thought it was a 1:1 reference! Excellent overall work, the paint is particularly well done!

Glenn........it`s factory chrome.......I was surprised how good the chrome was for being so old......thank`s for asking'

Oh man, that looks grogeous. The sun sparklin off that paint. Great work.

Fun to see some of these older posts be dragged forward. A very cool bike, that would have been posted before I joined the forum. I glad to see it. 

[skymnky721]

awsome!   Always dig the large scale 60's+70's trike+bike kits.

[dshue76]

Excellent build! I had this kit as a teenager and didn't do it any justice what so ever.

[Faust]

Wow. Just... Wow!

I can remember seeing stuff like that at car shows when I was little. Loved them! 

I CANNOT believe that's a kit! Fantastic work, man, just fantastic. 

I feel a bit motivated now... not that I can come up with something that good, but work like this gets my modelling mojo goin'!

[Chappy]

Amazing

Great kit and great build, I had one of those as a little kid, glad to see they re-released.

[Vettegasser]

That’s just sweet.  Very cool

Beautiful, looks like a real trike! Great paint work and lots of details, I really like the fade on the paint. I want to build one of these myself.
