I recently met The guys from American Chopper,Paul Sr. ,Paulie,Miley and Vinnie and after seeing there bikes,it gave me inspiration to try my hand at modeling one of theirr choppers. This is the first time i`m trying to model like this.I`m trying to get as close as i can to the real modelOnce i`m done i will try the motorcycle tutorial on this site and se how it differs from the way i made mine.Bring on the tips and comments.Ralph

Commanche Chopper update

I havent had the time to really finish this model ,but any time i have had even if its 5 minutes to add to the model i have.Some parts of the model have been giving me some difficulty,basically trying to figure the easiest way to model them.I hope to finish this soon so i can move on to my next model.
