Craig saw this project by Steve Barba (Mig17) over on the MIG forum, and thought some here might enjoy it.

QUICK!  Take this down before Chuck decides to "start over" in 1:9 scale!  ;D

Meanwhile, wow, that's really cool.  Great "slice of life" design to the diorama ... loads of great details, textures, creative and amusing touches.

Thanks!

Hmmm... there are some good touches on this, but something just isn't ringing true for me. Can't quite put my finger on it, perhaps it's a little too lumpy and crusty in some areas even for a rat bike. Nevertheless a good concept and an interesting piece of work...

    and the new "out of the box" looking front tyre

    I agree with Paul.   

   This is a very good set up diorama.

I think the main problem is that the whole thing is very dusty, and I don't mean weathering. Everything is dusty, including the dog. Looks like it's been on the shelf for a while, unprotected, and wasn't dusted off prior to shooting the photo. If you look closely at the last photo, you can see cobwebs on the rear tire, down to the pavement.

It's hard to be critical of such a beautiful presentation. i have to say none of the things mentioned bother me but being in1/9th the cast in spokes call attention to themselves.
This criticism from a guy who models in paper with flat bricks in1/87th.

Beautiful model.
