OK, I just finished up two builds. I had plans for four; one didn't pan out, one I didn't have time for, but I did get these done. First one is a bash, taking parts of a Tommy Ivo dragster and an MPC Trikes Wedge Chopper (Taco Trike). I cut up the "canopy" of the first, and cut the fenders off the second, and the fork section. I used the engine block and headers from the trike, intake from the Paddy Wagon. Narrowed the handlebars. Rear tires and wheels are resin cast. Paint is Deja Blue.        Next one up, is an idea I had of what I could do with existing cars or showrods. I took a Vending Machine, narrowed it by taking about a half inch out of the middle of the body. I took the interior panels and seat and narrowed them to fit the new body- which, BTW, took one helluva a lot of superglue and sanding to be smooth and proper. I cannibalized the MPC Trike, the T Trike (Milk Trike). I cut the rear axle supports off, used them; cut the front fork assembly section, cut and narrowed that and molded it in. Narrowed the handlebars. I used the rear tires and wheels from that kit; dropped the engine from the Red Baron into it. Paint is Classic White and Flame Red.        |

Rick: Great build but try it in 1/12 next time, it's much easier on your aging eyes!
Dave: Are those trike kits versatile or what? Love the mash up of parts on both of them.

Also with the 1/25 Jap bikes, it's easier to hide if my wife walks in . . . so I can't get caught with em! Never touched one in my entire life.  |
