Harley Davidson Softail Springer 'Last of the Wilds', in Lego 1:10 by Bricksonwheels Via Flickr: Currently I am working on a new Lego project and while waiting for a few exotic parts I decided to update my small Harley Davidson collection with a model I have had in mind for a while; a custom softail with classic springer frontend. The colors and plated parts are inspired by the Chicano style lowriders I often admire in Magazines. I just love these wild rides with an extreme attention to detail. These types of bikes can be seen with fantastic artwork and completely engraved engines and accessories. This 1:10 model has many customized parts as well. All Lego ABS parts are plated with true chrome and gold, at an industrial ‘plating on plastics’ factory. Some Lego parts cannot be electro-plated (non-ABS) and are therefor sprayed, like the Technic connectors and 75 mm front wheel. Silicone cables are used for the front brake and clutch cable. I nicknamed it “last of the wilds” as it will probably take a while before I have time to build a new one.

Harley Davidson Softail Heritage Custom, in Lego 1:10 by Bricksonwheels Via Flickr: I love Harley Davidsons, and as such I like to built them as scale models as well. In fact, I am not really a motorcycle guy, except for Harley's, as a big exception! I have some plans for a new series of 1:10 scaled HD's and custom cars, and this is a nice kickoff. This 1:10 scaled Softail Heritage model is almost fully consisting of genuine Lego bricks, that are chromed in a special chroming factory that can actually chrome plastics, by 'plating on plastics'technology. Most parts therefor have a genuine metal layer. Looks good, and a lot of work to keep shiny :-) more crazy customs will come for sure!
