Tamiya 1/6 scale Harley Davidson Fat Boy LO

#1 Post by Alaneye »

In the absence of the proper Harley Davidson Fat Boy from Terminator 2, I picked up the new, slightly different, Fat Boy LO, eventually for display with my Hot Toys Terminator figure. Got it on Saturday... build up so far.

It's quite a complex, but fun build, with glue and also tiny nuts and bolts and screws.

Been looking at this kit myself but struggling to find it under £185.00 - pricey

I wonder if there would be any market to build and customize these for Harley lovers?

But with the base price so high, it seems like you'd have to sell it for $500 or so to make anything on it...

Yeah, they 15.000yen plus 5.000yen for the PE + metal parts but me off it.

Coming along nicely, keep going.

That is absolutely fabulous! Did you use a buffable paint on the chrome parts to get them to shine so nicely?
