SUMMARY
A short stop motion story of a little plastic guy who builds his own motorcycle in my man cave: The Vincent Black Shadow from Revell in scale 1/12. I had the chance to film his attempts of getting a cool bike. His girlfriend eventually took some pictures of the finished motorcycle. Apparently some magical invisible hands were involved… The figures are mannequins from Body Kun The colors are from Alclad II (black, chrome, alu, coatings) Some cylindrical details are replaced by rods and tubes from Albion Alloys (f.e. the exhaust system, the wheel spokes, suspension rods, brake linkage).

A boy dreams of riding a motorcycle.
That has to be one of the most clever well done animation/films I’ve seen in years . The fact that its about a Vincent ( even if it is a plastic model ) only adds to the appeal . Fact is this should be an award winning film in my never humble opinion
Too bad Revel relegated that kit to the dust bin of history though . I’ve been dying to build myself a custom ( ala Jeff Decker etc ) Vincent Black Shadow /Lightening for my bookshelf .. and the idea of tearing apart one of MiniChamps die cast Vincents is just too intimidating
Anyone have a clue who out there might still have a model or two still in the box ?

PS; Any clue what became of Simon Mills tasteful Vincent custom ?
I think the VoC had a small batch of metal ones made years ago, they must be worth a few “Bob” now?
Try Classic Bike Mags. 2 C if anyone has 1 in his shed, happy hunting!
