    a fine bike and a nice film. One has struck me.

    Great built out of the box. Me and my fellows love the song of your video so much.
    Could you do me a favour and tell the name of interpretor or song?

    Cheers

    Michael

    Itīs not my video too, but the song is Arlo Guthries Motorcycle Song.

    Is the model worth the price, or is it just a big diecast toy?

    I've made four of these kits, and while they have nothing like the level of detail that 1/6th Tamiya Testor 1/6 HD Ultra video bikes have, they can be made to look quite presentable with little extra effort. If you really went to town on the super-detailing they would be stunning.

    As to whether they are worth the money, that's entirely subjective. They are a lot more expensive here in the UK than in the USA, not surprising as Testors is a US company, but I think they were worth it.

    Here are a few shots of mine:

    They look great, especially the last one with the rider.

    Hi camwader. Nice bikes and good background to go with them. Can you tell me a bit about the biker fellow? Did he come dressed like that or did you get the sewing machine out? Where did you get him? Or did he just cruise into town one day?

    Dr. Dave,

    The biker is a kit bashed bbi (Blue Box Toys) action figure. I forget exactly which one, but he was a USSOCOM special forces guy that I got to go with a 1/6th scale 160th SOAR RC Little Bird. His biker gear was acquired in bits and pieces from ebay. The jacket and chaps are from a Mattel 'Harley Ken' (Never thought I'd be buying Barbie clothes!). There is a lot of good 1/6th biker stuff on ebay, for both male and female action figures.

    You've opened up a new door for me Jon. I had no idea all that stuff existed in 1/6th. Thanks mate. I think you only have to worry about buying barbie clothes if you start dressing GI Joe in pink frilly dresses
