Hey guys,

Been a while since I've posted on here but I'm pretty regular at checking out the funny stuff that goes on.

Anyway, thought I'd post up some pics of a toy a just finished building for my daughter. It's a half scale 2001 Honda SP1. Took me a very long time but am pretty happy with the results. My daughter is stoked and at 19 months she is still a little small for it, but thats ok. Hope you enjoy!

Ash

Cheers guys!!

Yep, it'll being staying around for a long long time.

I am going to look at stepping it up and doing a few more. Now that I've finished this one I can used it to get the word out there.

At 200 hours to make this one, the next one shouldn't take as long but they wont be cheap. But considering you can pay 5-40 grand for a top end rocking horse, I can't see why I couldn't get good dollars for one.

Thanks mate! There will be more to come. But the next one will be a different bike. I need to get a better set-up at home or elsewhere first as I used some of the larger machinery at uni to build this one as it was for an assignment. But I'll get there.
