Hey nice work there DaPilot... looks neat...

Joz · 25th May 2006, 12:03

Awesome work there DaPilot and great collection the rest of you have.

Sometime soon i shall post my measly collection too. An Enzo, a Ford Torino Talladega and a Ducati monster. I am eyeing the red Stingray at ModelArt now.

hey Dapilot the bike looks neat man great work. by the try try using some more work place junk to make rest of the body like the fuel tank and the seat.

DaPilot · 25th May 2006, 18:06

@ Islero, Jay, and Jos: Thanks you guys for your word of appreciation

@ Sinner: Thanks dude... and a very good suggestion man!

Although I cant think of anything for the tank at the moment (anyone any suggestions?) but I will see what I can get my hands on to complete the bike.

Pre-Accident:

sorry to see such a beautiful beast to go wasted like this!!
hope you get it fix and rolling again man!!

I was suprised myself after seeing the pictures. The model is so good that I had to do something different. First time I ended up taking 15 pictures of just one model alone
