Timeslip Creations' Tron lightcycle

[timeslip]

Hi All, I'd like to present Timeslip Creations' Tron Lightcycle. The kit is a joint effort with Cliff Erasmus, the original pattern maker. The finished cycle kit is 10 inches long. The kit consists of 5 high quality resin parts. The rear wheel has been extensively modified to match the movie. Other versions of this kit were extremely wrong. The kit is $65 plus shipping. I have them available now and ready to ship! Shipping in the US is $7.95.

Utter BS George. That Light Cycle was grown by Gentle Giant for me. Jim Key did a run of them and then Stephen Sekulic did a run while doing my Whitestar. Cliff got it from Stephen who got it from me. Don't give him any credit for his lies. He also has some other SLA patterns he never returned.

Now, it is a nice pattern but is a recreation made from renders off the real cg file.
It is a nice kit to have. My suggestion would be to do it in translucent resin tinted to the three different colors this time around.

Sorry for being so hard but I'm tired of people getting credit for something they did not do. I know you didn't know all the background on it George.

And, the ONLY things he modified were the back wheel for fit.

DOH! Um, Mark thanks for the info. I'll give you a buzz later. Oh, the back wheel is actually more screen acurate. The old one's wheel tire hieght was way off.

Jim Small built one of these several years ago. I assume they're one and the same.

Nope, the one I'm selling is a bit different. Correct rear wheel, thickened rear section, etc.

Both Cliff and Mark were strongly associated with AIM when this kit first came out. I'd be very surprised if it was a completely new kit. What other differences are there other than the altered rear wheel?

 

[timeslip]

Hi Chris, just ask Cliff. Or look at the pictures. Mark has a copy on the way to him. Ask Mark in a few days. Or buy one and ENJOY!

Looks exactly like the old AIM kit I picked up about 6 years ago...

It's the same thing, right?

 

[timeslip]

Nope, more accurate! And cheaper. :cool Mine was made from the "original" master pattern but modified.

Just to clear the air, George is not the bad guy here. Cliff lied to George. George and I have no problems with eachother. I was just clearing the air.
