    Here's my latest, hope you like it.
    It's loosly based on one of Billy Lane's choppers that I saw on his web site "choppers inc".

    I'm was in over my head on this one, the amount of detail in relationship to my talent didn't compute.

    I'm happy that it looks like the subject and that I took on this project.

    I know it could stand more detail and the engine is pretty weak. If I try something like this again, I'll approach it in a different way.

    anyway, as I said, hope you like it.

    Awe... but what did you learn from the attempt? That is the important part. Once you are good enough to make it look "real", then it is work and no longer play...

    I have been "playing" for years...

    mostly with myself...

    Hi Tim,

    If you are interested in bikes, then I can get you a shot or two to practice with... Come August, there are bikes all over the place...

    Tim,

    It is a good looking bike. You'll see that you have learned a lot from this one, when start your next one.

    Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing!

    Hey Tim,

    Nice!

    How about turning the front wheel more towards the viewer so we can see some of the detail of the handle bars. That would really spiff this piece up a bit.

    Just an idea!

    Ever go prarie dog hunting? I did a web site for one guy who outfits those hunts for a living. Sits about 1/2 mile away and shoots them witha high caliber rifle. Tries to get more than one with 1 bullet...

    Takes all kinds I guess.

    Hi Tim,

    I think it looks very good. My one attempt at something like that is still not completed, and doesn't even look like what it was meant to be.
