Global Scale Modeller

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.

I have built one they are really good.

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.

I have a midnight special as well great build.

Dave

Oh you lucky so and so, do you want to sell it.

It has been made already.

Oh poo

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

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

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 here is the next update, I've lengthened the rear swingarm, quite pleased with it.

Also dechromed the engine and sprayed it black, lots of weathering to do on this one, going to be quite a challenge as I don't normally do desert weathering.

Sorry click on the link and it will display, my normal hosting site is down, I don't know how long for.

Looking good so far kpis

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.

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

Hi all here is the next update.

Hi all here is the next installment. 

Hi all here is the next update, I must say I'm quite enjoying this.

Hi all here is the next update.

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

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

I agree with Paul and the build looks great.

Hi all here's another update on this.

Anyhoo here is the next bit.

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

Looking super nice, or should that be super NASTY!

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

My goodness!!! That looks amazing, very realistic

Thats looking good like the tear on the seat good work

Spikes and barbed wire.

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.

Wow that's looking good. Top skills there.

Hi all well it's finished.

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

Brilliant work and some wonderful kitbashing!

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

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

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)

Look forward to seeing this build progress
