1/4 scale Speeder bike scratch build (Lots of pics)

Firstly I love your work. I have one thought.....the front forks look short. Might be camera angle but it looks a little 'stuby'? Easy fix though as it would be easy to add on some length. Now mind you Im going off of the 1/6 scale speederbike on my shelf. And dirty up that thing hahaha, no dirt bike worth its salt is that clean.

Thanks Lear60man i scaled everything off a 1/12th Bandai, don't know if that model is known for being inaccurate though. Yeah I'm no pro at weathering however i might do it one day when I'm feeling brave.

Man - I just want to jump on that and ride around !
This was the vehicle of my childhood I wanted to become real so bad

Great Job

Thank you, my favourite growing up as well

Where did you get 1/4 biker scout figure? I am in need of a 1/4 helmet?

Yep peza is correct, its a Big Fig. Not fantastic quality (or articulation) but they look cool displayed on a shelf. The helmet itself looks reasonably detailed though, i guess you could just cut his head off, although that sounds a little like how psychopaths start out, haha.
