Parked in LADOT's Yard in Sylmar, CA. Note the extra pair of headlamps and turnsignals on the bike rack.
I built something!
Two years ago I was asked (as usual) if I have a SWAT van that could be used in a potential Arkham set. I didn’t have one then (or did I?) but 30 minutes later I did.
Back then I figured that if it won’t be used, then I can always sneak it into something else as a taco truck or a TV van, whatever, but it went thru.
The build is pretty straightforward except for the front, that utilizes an odd combo of plates and brackets built in every direction on a footprint of a 2x2 brick to create the distinctive Chevy Stepvan headlight assemblies with it’s eyebrow turnsignals. No doors, as these things usually drive open, and since the doors are of sliding type, I don’t think it’s feasible in this scale.
As usual, I built it in different colors, and different lenghts, but the final product is pretty close to my initial sketch.
This is also the set where I was allowed to wish for an element for the first time ever in my career here at LEGO, and I went for a tyre that I needed for years now.
It’s a real gamechanger for me, and you’ll find that tyre from September 12th in the 76300 Arkham set.
I spun out on the ice and clipped a pole. :( And then I was stuck in a ditch and things got somewhat surreal. But by now everything is back to normal, except I still need a new turn signal.
I could not add these photo's seperately this is a custom made Harley/Davidson as a tribute to those who have served in the Military the materials for this bike were provided by the U.S. military as far as the Shells used for the hand grips, the foot pegs and the hoses that you will see on the side of the motor. Right down to the hand grenades used as the turnsignals, the M-16 wheels were custom made about 30 miles from my hometown at a superb wheel shop this is a fitting tribute please see all of the photo's of this special bike www.flickr.com/photos/jmtilley/sets/72157616365758934/
I wish I could have done something on this bike in a studio.

The fourth-generation F-body continued the aerodynamic formula initiated by the previous generation, but saw declining sales. As before, the Camaro kept the exposed headlights and the Firebird its pop-up units, with some minor changes.
The 1996-97 347.8 cu in (5.7 litre) LT1 V8 with Ram Air produced 305bhp, giving the car an electronically limited top speed of 155mph and a 0-60mph time of 5.6 seconds
For 1998–2002 Pontiac used the same heavy duty brakes, steering ratios, fuel pumps and shocks (non-WS6) on both V6 and V8 models.
From 1998-02 the Firebird received a mild facelift, changes include a new hood and front fascia with dual intakes, retracting quad halogen headlights, circular turnsignal and fog lamps, a front license plate pocket, lower fender air vents, unified-style lower door raised lettering for each trim level, and a new honeycomb rear light panel, . The all-aluminum 5.7 L V8 engine was sourced from the Corvette C5, and produced 305 hp (227 kW) at 5,200 rpm; 335 ft·lbf (454 N·m) at 4,000 rpm, (310 after 2000) or 320 hp (325 after 2000) in the WS-6 Ram Air version. In 2001 and 2002, models equipped with a V8 received the high-flow LS6 intake manifold and a high-performance clutch. A Firehawk model, produced by SLP and sold through Pontiac dealerships, had 330 hp (335 after 2000, 345 in late 2002 models equipped with the optional Blackwing intake. The V6-equipped Firebirds were rated at 231.9 hp

Revell 1/24th Scale Routemaster Double Decker Bus Build / RML2294 CUV 294C. My model bus becomes RML2294, based on actual photos I sort of mixed up different versions of the bus. I seems to have run Route 73 through Victoria Station for the majority of its life. I forgot to add the white strip so I used auto pinstriping which another builder used. I am trying to decide if I want to place ads on it.
I like the turnsignals and how the mirrors turned out. After a year of building this I'm giving it a rest for a while.

While the exterior styling of the 997, the Carrera and Carrera 4S share only their roof panels with the previous 996 model but the most noticeable change is a return to the circular lights.
The Carrera 4S has a 3824 cc H6 engine delivering an output of 355 bhp as the name implies it is an all wheel drive car.
The 997 was revised in 2008 for the 2009 model year. The updated Porsche 911 (called 997 Gen II internally and 997.2 informally. Changes included a new ngine with direct fuel injection. The engine is mounted 0.4 inches (10 mm) lower in the tail section, revised suspenson, new front bumper with larger air intakes,, headlamps with newly optional dual HID projectors, a new LED taillamp design, and LED turnsignals, redesigned sports exhaust,
The Porsche 997 generation was replaced for 2012 by the 991

1996 Volkswagen Golf (Harlequin)
1 or 264 produced
(produced in two seperate production runs of 64 and 200.. this car is #7 of the 200 run)
I looked for 2+ years to find one of these cars. I finally located this one in Miami, FL in the late spring of 2006. It had only 39,000 miles on it. I summarily purchased her and drove her back Indiana.
They were produced by VW as a special color concept following in the footsteps of the European only VW Polo "Harlekin" produced from 1993 - 1995. The body panels are not a random pattern, there are 4 color combinations. VW produced them by making 4 solid color cars and then swapping around the body panels after the cars rolled off the assembly line. Therefore the color combos are identified based on the color the car originally started it's life. Mine is a base yellow. Aside from the special paint, Harlequins also got special "Joker" patterned interior which contains the 4 exterior colors in it's pattern, special silver faced gauges, and European tuned suspension.

This East German 4-door sedan is the first Wartburg I have ever seen. The 353S was the last 353 (Knight) model and was produced between 1985 and 1988. It has very simple 992cc 3-cylinder two-stroke engine and a 4-speed manual transmission.
The simple two-stroke engine does not have chance of passing US or California emissions requirements, and other components in the car probably do not meet DOT safety requirements. That is probably why this is the first one I have seen.

The Porsche 997 was launched in 2004 as an evolution of the 996, with revised exterior styling, the rear bodywork was a total of 88 mm (3.5 in) wider than its predecessor. However, the most notable aesthetic difference between the 997 and the 996 was the return to oval headlights like those of pre-996 Carreras, with separate indicator units and the interior was restyled.
.
The 997 Turbo debuted at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show it features new front bumpers with LED turning signal lights in a horizontal bar in the air intakes. fog lights are moved to the corners large air intakes each side of the rear wheel, the retractable wing feature of the 996 Turbo is carried over.
The engine is based on the 964/GT1 design and was rated at 470 bhp with the use of a turbocharger featuring a two stage resonance intake system. The Borg-Warner Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) is the first used on a Porsche road car. It uses guide vanes located in front of the turbine wheel that modulate inflow angle and speed. An optional Sports Chrono package allows the 911 Turbo to overboost for 10 seconds increasing peak torque over a narrow rev range. Both manual and Tiptronic transmission is available with respective 0-62mph times of 3.9 or 3.7 seconds, with an official top speed of 198mph.
A second generation 997 was launched for model years 2009-12 The updated Porsche 911 (called 997 Gen II internally at Porsche and 997.2 informally by enthusiasts) included following changes: new engines, revised suspension and front bumper, headlamps with newly optional dual HID projectors, a new LED taillamp shape, and LED turnsignals, redesigned sports exhaust and the Tiptronic option was replaced with PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
The facelifted 997 Turbo was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motorshow. It received a completely new 6-cylinder, 3.8 litre boxer engine delivering 500 hp with revised Borg-Warner variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbos. The 911 Turbo is now only available with a manual gearbox or the optional 7-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox,

I generally try not to add more than one edit of a particular shot to my photostream (the discipline of choosing the single, best image), but I kept coming back to this Coupe de Ville's amber turn signals and had to act on it.
My late father was a dual-Ph.D. professor of Anthropology and Sociology, and I wish that before he had passed that he and I could have discussed perceptions of American auto brands as they relate to racist attitudes in the United States.

The fourth generation Firebird built on the aerodynamic styling of the 3rd Generation, While the live rear axle and floorpan aft of the front seats remained largely the same, ninety percent of the Firebird's parts were all-new. Major mechanical improvements included standard dual airbags, four wheel anti lock brakes , 16-inch wheels, rack-and-pinion power steering, short/long-arm front suspension, and several non-rusting composite body panels. Throughout its fourth generation, trim levels included V6-powered Firebird, and V8-powered Formula and Trans Am. The T5 five-speed manual transmission was standard with the V6s, as was the Borg-Warner T56 six-speed manual for the V8s. A four-speed automatic was optional for both, featuring built-in electronic controls beginning in 1994.
The Firebird 4th Generation received a mid life facelift for the 1998 model year. Major changes included a new hood and front fascia with dual intakes, retracting quad halogen headlights, circular turnsignal and fog lamps, a front license plate pocket, lower fender air vents, unified-style lower door raised lettering for each trim level, and a new "honeycomb" rear light panel, with circular reverse lamps. In the dashboard, "Next Generation" reduced-force dual airbags became standard. As before, the Formula and Trans Am again received a close derivative of the Corvette's 5.7 L V8, the LS1 of the C5 Corvette

The Borg-Warner Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) is the first used on a Porsche road car. It uses guide vanes located in front of the turbine wheel that modulate inflow angle and speed. An optional Sports Chrono package allows the 911 Turbo to overboost for 10 seconds increasing peak torque over a narrow rev range. Both manual and Tiptronic transmission is available with respective 0-62mph times of 3.9 or 3.7 seconds, with an official top speed of 198mph.
A second generation 997 was launched for model years 2009-12 The updated Porsche 911 (called 997 Gen II internally at Porsche and 997.2 informally by enthusiasts) included following changes: new engines, revised suspension and front bumper, headlamps with newly optional dual HID projectors, a new LED taillamp shape, and LED turnsignals, redesigned sports exhaust and the Tiptronic option was replaced with PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
The facelifted 997 Turbo was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motorshow. It received a completely new 6-cylinder, 3.8 litre boxer engine delivering 500 hp with revised Borg-Warner variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbos. The 911 Turbo is now only available with a manual gearbox or the optional 7-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox,

http://www.CruiserCustomizing.com/coyote7864 My bike is a 2003 Honda VTX1800C model. Yes, you read that right,
this bike is actually a C model!
You can tell by the exhaust system, the footpegs, the 18 inch
front rim with skinny tire, and the speedometer attached to the
handlebar clamps.
I couldn't decide whether I wanted to purchase a VTX1800C or
a Retro, so I put Retro fenders on a C model bike. I had to
purchase the fenders and install them myself.
The Retro fenders are nicely enhanced by the Rivco Indian Head
front fender ornament, available from Cruiser Customizing.
That ornament is much larger than the HondaLine ornament for
the front fender. It is hard to ignore!
The LeatherLyke saddlebags give me the look of an antique bike,
but the locking capability of hard saddlebags, and they cost less than
the Corbin or Patriot bags for the VTX.
Note the chrome radiator grill and the MC Enterprises engine crash guard
which I also purchased from Cruiser Customizing. Nice Folks!
I purchased the Big Bike/Show Chrome Accessories Contour
Lightbar and spot lights from Cruiser Customizing as well. It came
with a nice wiring harness and solid state relay.
The chrome vinyl trim around the edges of the windshield and the bottom
of the gastank really help to set the bike off.
I also like the looks of the Swing Arm Pivot covers, they make the transmission
case look a lot larger.
On the left side of the bike, there is a custom switch panel installed under my seat, which was originally a chrome sparkplug wiring protector from my old 1975 GL1000 GoldWing.
In the rear, I converted the stock turnsignals to auxiliary brake and taillights,
using Clear Alternatives(TM) lenses and red LED light units.
The new turnsignals, mounted on the rear of the saddlebags, are
Radiantz (TM) 128 LED taillight units for the VTX taillight, housed inside
Custom Chrome (TM) Layback taillight lenses for 1973-2003 Harley- Davidsons.
They are nice big bright lights, and following traffic has to be blind to miss them.
I needed a big lens to house the big LED taillight assemblies.
The bag on the back is an Igloo $20 ice cooler
with extra snaps installed on the top flap, until i can convince myself to pay
over $100 for a leather bag that will get weathered and worn from
sun, wind, and rain.
All said, I am very pleased with the results of the project. I'm not Jesse James
or Arlen Ness, but I sure think my bike combines the best parts of the C model and the Retro model, with a little nod to some of the older motorcycles on the road.
Have been motorcycling every year since 1972.
Have owned a Honda CB750K2, a Honda CB360,
a1975 GL1000 GoldWing and a 1989 PC800 Pacific Coast.
