This is my first photo on this site. I am not up to your guys standard but building makes life more bearable. I was not a big fan of this kit but I wanted to support round2 with the new show rods. I was hoping more sales more show rods. After starting it I grew to like it.   Some of the modifcations are. Gold trinket on top of the crown from a craft shop Beads on the crown Different headlight stalk I lost the headlight so I had to make a new one if anyone has a spare I will glady use it as I dont like my copy. Added a strip to base of the floor pan Used a chrome chain on the front forks Flocked the interior I used red cellophane on brake lights Rounded the frame under the chain Made a clear rear window Thanks for looking. |

Yeah - way to go - looks good without the side skirts. I felt the same way about this kit but bought one to help out.I like the idea of putting the Li'l 'Stogie on the Royal Rail frame that some one else on here has done - and I think I'll do mine that way.I also like the extra jewels on the crown.It helps alot.Thanks Keith

Not up to our standards, nothing.... that looks GREAT!!!
Building is what's important, and doing the best job you can. Heck, I don't wire anything and paint with cans....

Looks good from my house! You did a great job! You should feel proud! I had this kit when way back when it first came out and liked it alot. I remember thats when Amt had the price of the kit printed on the end pannel of the box and the price jumped from $1.75 to $2.25! This was an outrage to be and my friends! We still paid it because we had to have our latest digger kit. I wish the prices were still $2.25! Lol! ;D

Thanks for the compliments guys.
ShowRodFreak don v I hung the chains between two pins on the side of a cardboard box got the curve I wanted I then ran super glue over them.
atenzapower not sure what it is but the steering is not set up like a motorbike as the forks do not pivot.
Forgot to mention that the crown is not flocking but coloured sand i got from a cheap shop it glistens in the sun.
Now back to my April Fools entry.
