This was a bit challenging to get the wheels and fenders to match,  plan was from cherry tree toys, but scaled smaller and my own details.  Hope your not bored with my posts but I can't walk for a while due to ankle replacement so ....  I'm working on a ship model that I can do just sitting.

Awesome Tim....really cool....if I may ask, what material are the handlebars and how did you bend them?

Mike

Handlebars are brass rod, used a small vice and pliers to bend. matalic paint on some parts. Same with exhaust pipes.  Mufflers are maple with foil wrap.  Mark bend locations with a marker. it's a trial and error process and hard to visualize sometimes.  Used a foil bonded to maple for "chrome" parts.  Used hobby wire for wheels and other trim.  Seat is ebony. Handle grips are dowel drilled to insert handlebar - precise process!!

Yes Tim, I thought the bike looked small using the pencil for the visual scale, but a stack of good detail sir, well done.
