Grim Reaper motorcycle

[cobraman]

Just finished this one up . Grim Reaper kit with a few mods . I removed some chrome , I removed the rank which was molded to the frame . I then molded the two tank halves . I shortened the fork about an inch . I cut down the seat from the king and queen and also shortened the sissy bar . I made and added the rear fender fin . Painted it purple and yellow . Did not turn out exactally what I had in mind but I think it is ok .

Nice job !!!!  I foggily remember building this kit wwwaaayyy back in the day. I had a terrible time getting the vinyl lines to curve around to where they were supposed to go. The whole thing turned out like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH...... so I shot it with an entire brick (144) bottle rocket's. Fast forward to now and I want to slap myself silly for destroying something worth way more than I paid for it.

I like you're version a lot better !!!!!

Thanks Tim. I would love to have back all the models I blew up when I was young and stupid. It was fun at the time.

Tim, I meant to tell you that if you insert a thin wire into the hose it will bend and hold bend better.

Very nice build from the guy who getting out of the hobby.  You've posting lots of builds lately, Ray, and I look forward to seeing many more.

[cobraman]

Thanks Jim. It is true I built a couple lately. A Cobra for me, a MGB for a friend and this bike my wife bought me. She felt I need something to do and that this is as good as anything. I may still do one from time to time but be more selective on what I do.
