Hi, everyone! I have recently completed a pretty significant project and I'm really eager to show it off to everyone here.
First a quick little bit about myself. I am a long time lurker here, and I have posted just a couple of things, but this is one of my favorite forums to visit. Everyone here does such amazing work and I love seeing what people can do. Although I do some full scale props, such as the Baby Groot detonator that I posted here, I do almost all my work in miniature, 1/6 scale most specifically. In general I work on accessories for action figures to compliment peoples' collections, so things like weapons, iconic pieces from films such as a whole set of accessories for Forrest Gump (think briefcase, all the contents, bench, shoes), etc.
Around 2 years ago I was asked by a friend if I could do a replica of the Pee Wee Herman bike in 1/6 scale. Of course I thought it would be a wonderful challenge and over time I accumulated an immense amount of research information so I could recreate this iconic bike perfectly at scale. The long-standing thread for this bike here on this forum was my main source of screen-perfect information, and I did everything I could to replicate everything exactly as it was seen in the film.
I used a diecast Xonex Schwinn Phantom 1/6 scale bicycle produced in the 90's. It was heavily modified to match the underlying bike structure in the film. I then went about 3D modeling, printing, and fabricating every other item on the bike from the ground up, using all the knowledge I gained here and various other sources.
I will be trying to share as much of the process as I can, as I took many, many photos along the way. Until I can organize more of the process, please enjoy the photos of the completed bike. And I'm happy to discuss any part of the project that anyone is interested in.
