REMIX

[MplsCoaster]

Uber cool! Thanks for the process explanation too

This thing looks cool!
I figured it out... it's a steampunk chicken!

Darn, you found my inspiration!

Once it's rideable, you could rename it 'POULTRY IN MOTION'. :mrgreen:

No problem... I learned some time ago, it's hard to soar like an eagle when flying with a bunch of chickens. :wink:

I haven't done much the last few days...the grandkids are here visiting. However I managed to paint and distress the tank...the copper inserts are leather!

Watch Me Now!

I'm a happy camper today...I got my new computer!!! It's been a miserable 3 1/2 weeks without it. I've been working on a good-for-nothing piece of junk in the interim. Now I can finally get back to taking and submitting pics as I work on my build...I am so stoked!!!!

Great. I kept checking to see what you had done. Glad you are up and running at 100% again.
That's some great patination that you have been using on your builds. What would the chances be of your doing a tutorial in "How To" after the builds are over ?

No problem...today I painted Remix's frame with five colors and the end result has this unique bronze-copper tone. I'm using some new techniques this time around on how to age so it appears weathered and worn.

When I began this build, I didn't want to alter the bike's originality. So like always I pursued the footprint of Mofaux and Mofo; everything to be modular, to be removable and not permanent. Today I began mating the tank with the leather shroud. The shroud (one of two) is held onto the tank by a metal clasp ( a door handle) on the front and anchored to the frame by the flexible tubing.

Here's a preliminary mock up of Remix before I crashed my computer.

Wicked!!!
That tank armor has been reminding me of the Kronen character from Hellboy

Damn that is wicked looking!!!
We need to start having a RatRodBike Rally somewhere. I want to see a lot of these in person!!!!
