1/6 tamiya gsx 1100, mad to the max

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sat Oct 29, 2016 7:58 pm

Hi all well as some light relief I'm going to build this, obviously me being me it will look nothing like the box art and will be built as relief from my other builds as and when I feel the need for a break, so build progress will be sporadic, trust me though I don't think it will be recognised as what it is when finished.

Post by **Davethepitch** » Sat Oct 29, 2016 8:29 pm

I have built one they are really good.

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sat Oct 29, 2016 8:42 pm

Yep built it a while ago (again not like box art) all these 1/6 kits are amazing, my favourite was the midnight special, my mate had one and let me ride it, I felt like king of the road, personally I think the ,osteoporosis beautiful bike ever made.

Hi all first steps, can you see where I'm going with this.

Post by **Davethepitch** » Sun Oct 30, 2016 6:19 pm

Are you going to build it like the box or have you got a mad Max theme in mind.

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sun Oct 30, 2016 8:27 pm

Well, it's silver on the box and has no spikes, I intend far more drastic alterations than those though.

I shall watch this thread with interest now

Hi all well I've weathered the engine and swing arm, I'm quite pleased with it as I've not done desert weathering before, needs a bit more depth but I think it's a good starting place.

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sun Nov 06, 2016 7:17 pm

Hi all started the frame.
I really do love these kits.

Hi all here is the next update.

Post by **kpisnuts** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 7:34 pm

Hi all here is the next bit, done the front forks, can't decide whether to use the headlight fairing or not, if I do i will add more spikes to it, what do you think fairing or not

Post by **exmoor** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 8:03 pm

I love the look of this bike i think with out fairing it migth give it more of a street fighter look

Post by **Davethepitch** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 9:17 pm

I agree with Paul and the build looks great.

Post by **kpisnuts** » Fri Nov 18, 2016 6:42 pm

You are THE master of beat up and worn out weathering
Can absolutely see one of those mohawked maniacs on this chasing after Max

Post by **Plopper** » Sat Nov 19, 2016 8:16 pm

Looking super nice, or should that be super NASTY!

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sun Nov 20, 2016 9:34 am

Thanks Scott and Dave glad you like it, not much left to do on this one now.

Post by **SergioSolo** » Sun Nov 20, 2016 11:08 am

Post by **exmoor** » Sun Nov 20, 2016 11:43 am

Post by **Davethepitch** » Tue Nov 22, 2016 7:13 pm

Spikes and barbed wire.

Post by **kpisnuts** » Thu Nov 24, 2016 8:13 pm

Hi all well I've got the forks round the right way and added the foot pegs and a few other ancillary devices on the last leg now.

Post by **Avgas** » Thu Nov 24, 2016 8:39 pm

Wow that's looking good. Top skills there.

Post by **kpisnuts** » Tue Nov 29, 2016 8:03 pm

Hi all well it's finished.

Post by **Plopper** » Tue Nov 29, 2016 10:30 pm

In the words of the film, that's proper Chrome that is!

Brilliant work and some wonderful kitbashing!

Post by **kpisnuts** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:08 pm

Well I'm well peed off someone called brightlogic has posted this build on YouTube, no mention of me so I assume they're passing it off as theirs, they didn't ask if I was OK with it or not just posted the whole build, there's no area to post comments or I would say something like "oh thanks for posting my build, yes I was very proud of it myself" or something like that, what really pees me off is just not asking.
Here's a link to it

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:03 pm

Oh that is brutal for someone to do that
Might need to watermark you photos with your name so can't happen again
You can post comments as two guys have and called him out for it already

Post by **kpisnuts** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 10:23 pm

Hi mate I'm rubbish at this social media stuff I only found it by mistake (looking for a another cheap one of these kits as I have another idea) on my tab s2 I can't see any comments or any way to add one, I'm glad some people have said that though (even though I can't see what they've said)

Post by **exmoor** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 10:50 pm

Look forward to seeing this build progress
