UN Spacy Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 That truely is a work of art. I'm amazed at the amount of detail he put into Kaneda's bike. From the glowing wheels, headlights, tachometer, leather seats, decals, etc. That's dedication for ya....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noriko Takaya Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Christ! I really wish I could build something like that that damned good, but I stink at model building. I think I'm going to crawl into a hole now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Sci-Fi Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 That is spectacular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 wow! i'll need to find a recast of this kit and someone to build it for me! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Wow... That's amazing. FYI, here's the kit he used. Very rare, and rather pricey. http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?VOL032 And here's a recast of it. Notice that it costs almost as much as the original http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php/c...roducts_id/1646 But it's out of stock.

Mechamaniac Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Yeesh, that is the bomb. But seeing as how the bike was really the only cool thing about Akira, it deserves some props. Wish I could afford to build, and had the skills to build something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 ho snap!!! I likes!! too bad the kit costs too much. It's about the price of two 1/48's. That sucks they didn't make enough of these kits to go around. I would've bought one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnollman Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 But seeing as how the bike was really the only cool thing about Akira, it deserves some props. Heh.. isn't that the truth.... I wish I had the cash to lay out and the skills to do something like this. My conversion skills are pretty rudimentary, and I don't have a lot of experience with resin either, for that matter....

Prowlus Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 i wonder if the bike is large enough to make a 1/60 yammie ride it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
