Akira/Sci-Fi style Bike GB??
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, December 12, 2004 2:22 AM
Hey guys.

Tried to start a Trike GB in the auto forum but alas no interest there.
Anybody here interested in doing a Future/Sci-Fi Bike GB?

Can be a kit, kit-bash, scratch-build or a mix of those.
Any scale, any material.

How about it?

I don't understand the question. You are using too many acronyms. Try full words. ;)

Qquestion is simply:

Areyou interested in partaking in a Group-build for Akira-style or Sci-fi themed Motorbikes?

As for the acronyms those are commonly used on FSM. Wink [;)]

Never seen them before. I don't browse outside the Sci-fi forum. Group builds online sound almost impossible to me. Coordination would be a pain.

Group Builds are when forum members decide to build the same or similar kit at the same time and share their progress, ideas and tricks via the forum.
Lets say we are doing a Star Trek Group Build:
I would do a Bird of Prey, another guy does the DS9, another one the NX-01,etc.

To me a group build is several people build components for a single display.

This was what I call a group build;

You can always got for a 1/12 Mospeada Bike or similar too, there are a few kits out there. Or get ANY old roadbike kit and mod it.

Here are a few other ideas that pop into mind:
Tron Lightcycle
Judge Dredd "Law Master" biker
Mad Max style Bikes
Imperial Space marine Bike
etc.

Let your imagination run wild.

No timeframe set yet for this GB, just checking if anyone would be interested.

I am now leaning more and more towards dumping most of my Models into the spares box and do weird and unusual builds.
