    Chopper motorcycle build progress

    Yes, groves a bit to beat, but it depends, are you making a "Picasso" representation of a bike, more artistic, or a replica of what could be a real motorcycle, not the impression of one.' Both have their place, and are different objects. They are different, neither better than the other. I...

    Chopper motorcycle build progress

    If you know how to make wheels using conical semi circles strips, you an paint them with Liquid Electrical Tape, by adding very fine pieces of paper, imitate wheel treads, the tires end up looking real. ;)

    That was a long time ago, and by Federal law they are not allowed to contact me. :)

    Construction Matchbox Oblivion Bubble Ship

    I knew you would get that. Is there anything you don't know? A dumb question on my part, how would you know that! Your Oblivious ship is fantastic!! It's always a pleasure to read your build threads. I've learned so much from how you fabricate and repurpose objects to suit your needs...

    Chopper motorcycle build progress

    O.K., now that is the very first time I've seen tires done like that. They came out great! I can't wait to see the whole wheel. I worked for the Federal Bureau of Prisons for a couple of years. The "Jailhouse Art" produced there is amazing. Mostly what I've seen are motorcycles being...

    Elbit Hermes 450 (Zik) in 1:33 scale

    That's a nice model. I'd like to make a bigger one that glides and bomb my jerk neighbor with firecrackers. Best as I don''t though, that's how it all starts. Firecracker here, Zircon Hypersonic missile in response, (with no aiming), It would get out of hand in 15 minutes. Very nice model...

    Construction Matchbox Oblivion Bubble Ship

    Please post in English! I can read this, but many others can't. You post an excellent amount of photos, so words almost aren't necessary, but the same rules applies to everyone. Suppose I made a post like this(below), can you read it? (I wouldn't be surprised at all if you could), but it's...

    Chopper motorcycle build progress

    Your models remind me of some that I saw when I worked for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Some where made of nuts and pipe pieces, all metal, and others where made of whatever they could get. These were often given to their young ones at home, or bartered and used as currency. Prison life...

    Chopper motorcycle build progress

    I'd suggest trying some U.V Activated adhesives. You user very little, you can build it up, but on initial use, the "Glue" is applied to the piece, enough so you touch the mating piece. You hold them together and hit them with the U.V Light on the other end f the tube (it comes with the light)...

    Get a round file, to get the cross members ti fit the frame rails tight, less adhesive is needed. . Just out of curiosity, are you using 2 part epoxy or glue" Looking good! :)

    HMS Fearless

    Story wise, it's not that old of a story. I read a synopsis of it, it was very interesting. It would make a great movie franchise. :)

    HMS Fearless

    I've only seem this model built once before. It's a great looking ship. Great choice. This one is huge, some skinny person might be able to get inside!! :)

    I agree, A build thread on a bike made from scratch could teach all very much. ;)

    Is there a SeaQuest?

    Looks like Sequest has been sequester for active duty. There's a picture floating around of a recent ship sinking and a familiar shape below!! This is a real picture. It doesn't portray and actual event, but the picture is real, or you wouldn't be seeing it! :smoker::drinksmile::sticktongue:

    Modelismo en papel FRAMEWORK AIRCRAFT FREE!

    I posed this link on May 16, 2012 and I doubt anyone has seen it since then. Maybe we need a section with subcategories on links? That would be a good way to ind out what works or doesn't. It'd be hard to find all those links, probably take a lifetime. Maybe if with started with current...
