apollogary Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Well it sure did take a while to finish this, and almost as long to post some photos. Photos aren't great, so sorry for that. 1/6th scale Harley, based on the 75th anniversary model from 1978/9. Finished in Harley Davidson Black Cherry, with brown leather seat. Custom made logos. Thanks for looking Edited January 2, 2023 by apollogary 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 That looks really good, put it in a different photo setting and it will look just like the real thing 👍 Great colour too !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I know absolutely nothing about motor cycles, but your model made me go "wow!" It looks very realistic to my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Very nice work there, espcially given that it's in black which can be a real pain to get looking right. The dirt on the footrest is a nice touch too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 What an incredible model. The only thing realy giving it away as a model is your reflection in the tank in one of the photos; amazing. That Black Cherry is a great colour for a 'Glide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to claim very slight colour-blindness and then plead the 5th Amendment on that one😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Really nice, but you made an error - you posted pictures of the real bike. Come on, give us the model pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Crikey looks really, what a great work. I used to love reading the Tamiya catalogue as a youngster and used to be amazed at the large scale bikes. This has just taken me back.
