Okay, so here is the rundown on my Iron Rider custom bike. This thing was HELL, it's basically a kitbash of a Hot Wheels X- Blade & a Maisto Ducati Monster, w/ a whole s-load of bits & pieces in there. Took the engine & rear swingarm out of the X-Blade & swapped for the Ducati parts. Removed wheels/tires from X-Blade & swapped for the Ducati parts. Removed tailpiece from X-Blade & swapped for Ducati part. Added car model parts to fill a huge cavity @ the top of the motor (if you look close, I used the I'm2 MK2 head @ the very front of the induction system, directly above the radiator). Fuel tank - the large disks on either side - are fodder, as well as the rear suspension, front skidplate & kickstand. Exhaust pipes & radiator are car model parts. Front perimeter brake & large rear disk are from the Hot Wheels. Gauges & front/rear carbon fiber fenders are from the Ducati. Front & rear skull pieces & the saddle are from a Spawn Viking Age Skullsplitter. Flames are hot glue w/ acrylic gel paints. I had an awesome time building this bike, it took me back to my car modelling roots. I had a lot of frustrating moments along the way, but it was soooo worth it. I hope you guys enjoy viewing it as much as I enjoy seeing it on my shelf. As always, comments are welcome & greatly appreciated, bye, bye, BL4CK5H33P!
