Just some bikes

[arcticwolf]

Just some 1/12th bikes I built a while back. I really should do another one sometime.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. That first bike just has a vibrant look to it with all of those colors and decals. Some gorgeous work going on with these. How long does a typical bike build take you to complete Pual (arcticwolf)?

That first bike ended up with about 6 coats of clear - I clearcoat between decal layers - and I think 2 topcoats of pearl. The Harley also got a pearl finish.

How long? Several months usually, at least twice as long as a 1/12th F1 car normally takes. Bikes I find tricky but rewarding and they take up less shelf space.

I agree 100% you should definitely build more bikes! These look stellar! Great detail on all of them

Thanks. Bike building is a different world, you can go crazy with aftermarket upgrades. Photo etch chains that you assemble each link. Yikes!

I have 3 or 4 in the closet, I might pick one and do it. I find if I build them a bit at a time while I'm building something else I don't go quite as squirrely, lol.

The other Paul is the master bike builder, I just do my best.

Great looking bikes! Nice work!

Nice! I do like the bikes - I've built a couple and have a few more in the stash. The 1/12 Tamiya kits are the bomb

Really nice work the bikes!
