Posted February 15, 201510 yr I have a big passion for customized cars and bikes. I especially love the Cali style lowriders, as featured by this model because of the awesome colors and extreme customation. This Harley Davidson Road King,scaled 1:10 is built out of genuine LEGO bricks, in sand and dark green color, completed with many chromed and gold plated bricks. Models like this and many others like cars, planes and trains will be featured in the forthcoming Nostarch book: The Art of Lego Scale Modeling, to be released this summer, written by myself and Dennis Bosman (Legotrucks). You can see a preview here: www.nostarch.com/legoscalemodeling For this Harley Davidson I teamed up with Auri from Bricklinks Chrome Block City (www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=Aurimax) to combine gold and chromed plated parts into something really customized.
February 15, 201510 yr That is the best looking lego bike, my eyes have ever had the pleasure of viewing. I'm not a big fan of bikes, but this one has won my heart.
February 15, 201510 yr Oh, that's just beautiful! I'm thinking the most challenging part of this build was getting rid of all the fingerprint smudges. Haha!
February 15, 201510 yr Splendid job. For some reason, common bricks that are plated look like completely different parts to me. I spent a few minutes identifying the shapes. Beautiful.
February 15, 201510 yr You did it again mate(WOW) . Your chrome, gold and copper plated bricks are the best in the world, and juse for mine last 2 designed sets your chromed bricks and mine customers loved it :thumbup: .
February 15, 201510 yr Amazing, in your "recognizable" Harley style ... those colours - green/chrome/gold makes from a set of bricks a masterpiece. A saw another WIP photo with engine (flicker) - is this frame stiff enough based on only one 32291 (cross block)?
February 15, 201510 yr Author Thnx all! About the frame, yes it is. This frame has one advantage: it is chromeplated which tightens tolerances and makes it a bit stiffer.
February 15, 201510 yr Just when you think that you cant put more chrome on the bike...you prove you can. Great build!
February 16, 201510 yr Just wow, what a beautiful model, the chrome parts are eye catching and make the whole motorbike !
February 17, 201510 yr This is one of the coolest models I have seen. I'm not normally a motorcycle fan but the perfect blend of chrome colours make this model really stand out. It only adds to the really nice details you added in making a realistic engine too. Incredible job. Edited February 17, 201510 yr by Geekphysique
