How about Pirelli instead of Dunlop on the chin. And where are the wheels on the stands? Looks pretty good to me. | ||
| Thefleshrocket |
Cool, how much? | ||
| Badlionsfan |
It has Dunlop on it cuz that's the tires used in AMA. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
my opinion is to get stickers made instead of writing the stuff yourself/your child that way it looks legit | ||
| Bearracing |
True decals would be better.. but way small.. Its still a work in progress. Ill post pics again of the final look. Im also working a Walt Sipp Buell 1125r Daytona sportbike #221 from the Daytona 200 this year. | ||

The start of the #221 Walt Sipp Buell 1125r Sportbike from the 2010 Daytona 200 version.. Not finished yet...  | ||

I want one that runs and will turn low 1:50s on a perfect scale model of Daytona please. :-)  | ||

Bear Now you need to make miniatures of you and Clint in the pits working on it! Maybe two snake eyes GI Joe figures! Sweet! | ||
| Bearracing |
In that case... i should add you and William as well! I do recall you being with us in Topeka being the umbrella person! | ||
| Coolice |
Don't forget your radio headsets  | ||
| Redponcho |
I was one sweet umbrella holder! | ||

Might be able to do figurines with the larger version - 1:12. Looks like these pictured are the smaller 1:16 scale. What scale is GI Joe? ...did I really say that? Do you have magnification? I might be able to set you up with a loaner B&L stereo microscope. You'd be amazed what you can do under a scope if you have the fine-motor skills. Looks like you pass that test... I bought several of the 1:16 with the intent of customizing one to look like Loretta. Been pretty chilly lately... Wish they made the 08 in 1:12. Z | ||

Sure was Eric! These bike are 1:12 scale i have about 8 or so of them.. I do also have the 2008 1:18 scale. Thanks for all the comments guys.. I get more pics up of them as i get more done to both bikes. | ||

Final version of the #70 James Gang Buell is done. Working on Walt Sipp's #221 Buell now. What do you think?          | ||
| Xb9er |
SWEET. how did you make the lower fairings? | ||
| Bearracing |
I molded them by hand out of a sheet of .25 thick aluminum. Cut a template,Then attached to the bottom pipe by some screws. I mailed the 1st #70 Bike off this morning as a Christmas present to Mike Kirkpatrick. He is the Crew Chief for Paul James on the #70 Bike. For those that may not know this. :-) I plan to make a 2009 Danny Eslick Buell next. Then another #70 again and Another #221 Bike. I didnt know the response would be so great! | ||

dude that is awesome. +1 for getting the yellow arrow on the tank for fueling tread pattern is wrong for the dunlop sportmax, should be sporting a vortex rear sprocket (chain drive), the rads were reverse flow, & TECHNICALLY the LH side bodywork was getting worn thru near the Buell sticker, wearing it 1/2 off  but I'm just giving u crap. pretty ridiculously impressed at the level of detail. you gonna make one of my bike this year then??

Oh come on Alex give me a break. This version is new LOL, But yes i know about the Buell decal being wore off on that one side. As well as the sprocket.. Vortex didnt make a 1:12 scale version yet.. ha ha ha ha.. Most of that detail came from being able to see the bike up close and in person...a few times.. Take care and see you soon some time.. maybe Daytona again? Later dude! And ya i'll make one like your bike.. But um im gonna need alot of bright yellow paint!
