So I just did a video about Layout details Part 1 & Part 2.  In it I talk about these Motorcycles that are available from Faller.  They come as a kit and need to be easily assembled but I decided to custom paint each one.  The generic colors didnt work for me.  I painted the frames, wheels and the gas tank.  They are all individually customized and was fun to do.  I layered each one with gloss coat to make them shine too.  I can say that these are the nicest MODERN motorcyles avaiable even if you do not customize each one as I did.  I have made 10 of them so far and I love these!  i just need to get figures to be in the seats so that I can model a group of 4 or 5 bikers going down Main St. in Palm Springs, CA.  Check out the pictures I took today.

UP and Bikes.....

You need a small Jappe standing there.  You'll never get him off the layout

It looks good

I like em!

I just watched the video the other day and saw the bikes there.  They look pretty good close up too.  I really like the black and red one with custom flames, third from the left.

Make sure you do some custom ink on the bikers!

The details video was a good watch, but I have to say I really enjoyed your review of the MRC decoder.  Sad to see not much has changed in that regard, but a great video!
