Hey guys, got this Chopper kit a few weeks ago.. good build, bikes are cool. Its not a perfect build, but I know a few things I'll do different if I do another one. I wasn't happy with the rear fender, so I trimmed it out in some flames. I was going to use the box decals, but the flames didn't look right, didn't match. So I drew some on the tank. Besides some minor brush painting, all the rest was done with Krylon spray cans, including the flames. The flame tips on the rear fender didn't turn out perfect, but hopefully next time I'll have an air brush. I plan to get another down the road, do something cool again. I liked this kit, was a fun, but quick build. Enjoy!

thanks for the comments guys... that rear fender almost turned out completely different.. I almost just cut about half of it off and rounded it out. If I had done that it woulda ended right under the rear seat, mainly because I was looking at it before I fitted it to the frame. Once I marked it all out and tested it I knew it wouldn't work, but box stock didn't look very good.. thats when the flame idea came to me! Generally I'm not into flames or flash of any kind, just plain and simple, but I guess with these lil rides we can let our inner freak out and do something off the norm. Glad you guys enjoy, cuz I know I sure do!
