hehe... understood...

It will be cool, no matter what.

that is the second commandment of the book of coolness^^

Ok, offer still open for the next few minutes. PM sent.

Well, I hope you find this bike cool enough. It is still WIP, I want to smooth out some areas, and add a few things like a drive chain/belt and maybe even some clutch and brake levers if I feel like it. I have to tweak the handle bars a bit, the rider's arm moved before it dried, and now it doesn't line up right.

I am still torn on giving him a back rest though, i feel the danger of the giant tire would be a rush to the rider!








I also want to give his feet something to be resting on, so there is plenty more to do, but I like where it is going.

Oh, and before you ask, yes, there will be rivets.

One question though, does it look too Orky? A little Orky, I'm not worried about, it is Chaos after all.

Thanks for stopping by,
RSJake

I think that it's looking amazing Jake!
I must admit that when I saw the toy's I didn't have faith.
I should have known better.



I thought that this might help?

I think that they look similar.
Just your's is streched out and.. You know bad ass.

If you think photo's of differnt piece's would help you.
Close up's or another side.

Let me know and I'll take some other shots.

Yeah, that bike look WAY Orky. Like huge lots. IMO even the mighty Rattlesnake Jake isn't going to pull this one off. You really need to drop that tire size significantly. But keep the 'stripped down' look. Bobbers are awesome!





btw, I hate 'ape hanger' handlebars and 'chopper' forks IRL. It's almost as if someone said "Hey, riding a motorcycle just isn't dangerous enough! Let's make handlebars with the most unnatural posture possible, and then add forks that drastically compromise handling! Yeah, that's a great idea!"

This is what I ride:

Ah. A harley.
Looks pretty good there mate!

Thanks guys.

Not sure if I can find smaller tires.

But I bought the toy with those tires specifically with these bikes because I wanted the tires BIG!

I'll see what I can do to De-Orkify (it's a word, trust me) and make it swing back to the Chaosy side. (I think a nice paint job will help it too.)

I was going to add huge pipes, but that would definately be too Orky., so something modest, like your Sportster Skalk.

I'll add some spikey bits on the sides and maybe some saddle bags!

Yeah man, I think they are cool, but either the stock tire or the big tire need to go, you need something a bit more balanced between the front and rear IMHO.

Hmmm. I did have a couple of the tires from a standard Chaos Bike, but I used them to repair the one GW bike I have, and I don't think I have anyhting else that would work. I'll look though, I have bits containers all over the place.

You had to post this TODAY. Dude I have maybe 50 of those things. I'll mail you a few if you'd like.

..The -=]_,=- Provides

That would figure huh Skalk?

If you want to mail me some, I will not object. I'll even add an extra set of plates when I get them done up.

Well, as it turns out, my wife didn't mail any of my packages yesterday (no, I'm not being lazy and making her slog off to the PO for me, she can mail them from her workplace) so when I got home there we still on the counter. I've added 2 sets of wheels (on large, one small) and the will be enroute today.

i am with the crowd on the fron wheell... that needs to be biggerized! and the backrest is a needed thing too!!!

but i think that badass pose looks truly cool... and the choasy /undead shiled as a fender is an awesome idea!!!

of course...rivets goes without saying^^

Skalk, you are the man! Thank you.

Thanks Vik, I will have to re-do the front forks, as the current ones won't take a wider tire, but that will most likely make it look better anyway, I can get the "shock absorber" look to it that I like on bikes, and I can make the front hub look less like a toy.

Jake, I think you should cast up a universal bike tire! Even Zinge doesn't have one that size

Well I HAVE been making one in Blender....it's pretty plain right now though. Any suggestions on a tread type?

All-purpose.

OK, these are the ones I like best:

Option 2 gets my vote.

Hahaha! I like Option #1 !!

I guess there is nothing wrong with doing both huh?

Do both, 1 for dry, and 1 for wet weather

Option 1 would be best on off road due to the chunky tires while option 2 would be better for hard surface.

I like option#1 best as well.

You know, after thinking about it, I don't like either option. Chaos should be spikey:



...and should also get +1A w/ these tire upgrades.

..I'm not sure that Ceramite ass-armor would be enough to make that a smooth ride

Chaos cares not for smooth rides! Chaos only cares about spiky tires of death!

on that scale i think you should probably aim for an even simpler design... i think all that tiny details on a tire profil will get lost anyway ... i can´t see that being seen once it hits paint... tho if i have to judge... my vote would be on the second too...

Well, it seems like both are popular, and I liked them both anyway, so I will try to do both. nad maybe a super spikey one for Skalk, just to see how it turns out.

well... like an ice speeder...:



but that could take you ages...and i bet that casting this would render you insane sooner than you would want it
