Psyches Custom Psycles - Bike Hauler

[badroadahead]

I started with a broken electric stapler I got from work. It had some nice lines and curves on it.

I cut off some of the bottom and used an old resin 1950 Ford truck cab. Scratch built the frame, exhausts, sign, cut a rear door and hinged it, used stained, sealed wooden coffee stirrers for the bed floor. I had an old parts pak Triumph and scratch built the entire front forks with handlebars. Scratch built the seat, oil tank, exhausts. On the Panhead I scratch built the gas and oil tanks, rear fender and handle bars.

I kept the theme of Psyches Custom Psycles from another build I did a few years ago. The truck was very challenging but no where near as difficult as the Triumph. The bikes are so small I needed 5x glasses.

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

This is what the stapler looked like.

Oh man!!

Often when people make something out of something that isn’t a model part it’s like “ok, it looks like they took a smoke detector and put wheels on it” or whatever...but this looks like it should’ve been a hauler all along. Kinda art-deco or something!

GREAT job!!!
