If this picture the bike was sitting on concrete, it would be hard to tell if it was real or a model.

Yeah, that's cool and all, but NOW why don't you make a real, working model!!

Seriously, awesome job!

safety wire?

[Bullfrog]

actually, he does get out enough. trust me.

i still don't understand where he got the time to do it. maybe he just doesn't sleep.

[Statler]

Holy Shit!

[Spike]

Great job, magnificent!

Initially couldn't figure out what the little deals next to the Canadian cent were -- then scrolled down to the photo below and saw the dzus fastener detail. 

The whole thing is simply stunning!!!

[Monsterlover]

Un-make the beast with two backsing-believable!

Great job man!!!

[duc_fan]

That.

Is.

Awesome.




I had a buddy in college who did models to this level of detail, but he primarily did warbirds (mostly WWII).  He'd get photo-etched metal instrument panels, and aftermarket hardware kits (weapons, gun bay details, correct landing gear, engine details, etc).  He won a few awards for some of his, and had a few on display in air museums.

Anyway, the detail and quality of this 916 reminds me of Toby's work.  That requires lots more patience than I have... kudos Jason, that is one beautiful model of your bike!
