G'day

[Repliconics]

G'day my names Trevor I'm in Australia.
I was looking at all the fantastic bikes on the forum and I've already got some great ideas that I can use in my work.
I guess you'd call me an Artist/Model maker.
I make a lot of different things but in amongst it all from time to time I build 2/3 scale motorcycle from recycled materials.
A lot of which is bicycle parts.
I'm not sure that my work quite fits in here, it's a bit left field.

But this is what I'm working on at the moment.
It's a 2/3 scale 1929 Indian Straight Four.

The wheels are from an old BMX bike, the steering throat is from the same bike.
I use the small rear sprocket from a bicycle on the gearbox of the motorcycle.
And the larger one on the back wheel.

All the rest is made from things like MDF, PVC pipe, old bits of scrap metal just about anything I can lay my hands on.
There's no pedals but not that I'd let it happen it could be used as a free coaster.

I've still got a lot of work to do on it.
But I'm hoping to have it pretty much done but Christmas.

Anyway like I say a little left field.
But I thought it maybe of interest to some of the forum members.

Cheers
Trevor.

Ah, long way from sunny QLD

Nice place Mildura.
Spent a bit of time down there when we were on the fruit picking trail.
Camped near Nangiloc on the river in the stinking heat.

Also have a few mates from there.

Welcome Trevor, your art is very cool but at 2/3 scale it could fill the space pretty quick. I use to dabble in
1/12th scale modeling some years back now my art is fly tying !

[Repliconics]

Yes it does Mark I build 2/3 scale cars as well.
By the way tying flies very KOOL! that is an art form.
I've made a couple of other motorcycle's.
An Ariel with sidecar and a Harley Boardracer.
Could someone give the tip as to which part of the forum to best show them?

Trevor.
