Massey...

(I'm a little out of sinc, but you guys are so quick on the draw!)

Uh oh...... @OddJob pushed it to the 4th page. Now I gotta do more work

 

[Captain Awesome]

Got a springer on the way for this one thanks to @RustyGold

 

[Captain Awesome]

Went to the garage

With burrito and beer

Got kinda bored

Now what do we have here

Not the final product, but I had this light in my mountains of motorcycle bits and I was thinking about incorporating it. Figured I could use it to trial some paint for the frame. Still one more "application" then we'll clear and see if it passes the test (Mrs Awesome and the proverbial Pinterest eye of power)

Also...........

Deep thought.......

Capt, I can't remember / calculate which demographic you fit into, so I'm not sure if you remember Erector Sets from BITD? That's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this just now.

Of course, yours look way cooler, and more 'life sized'. Can't wait to see what you do!

Lincoln Logs and Erector sets were big players for me growing up!

Whenever I drive past an open garage that is all neat and tidy I think, "That dude didn't have an Erector Set when he was a kid".

Set up the poor man's paint booth. Ez up and 3 tarps.

Finished sanding raw
Etching primer
Heat gun and barrel fan
Scotch Brite the primer
Base coat silver metallic

Popped the sides down to show the metallic goodness. Not a bad view from my booth

Then it was time to continue last night's experiment

Like the concept and colors. This was the final rendition of my childhood bike. Homage to BMX and lowrider culture.

That is CADboard (said with Boston Southie accent)

Urea crystal, or Saran Wrap?

Saran wrap. I coated the wrap instead of the part for less of the black coverage and hopefully less streaking

It came out looking more like the crystal effect. Nice job!
