I'm never too sure if we should put easier or harder challenges on for the model of the month but looking back not that many seem to attempt them so for this month I'm putting an easier model on that I think is very usable. If you do have a go then please post your efforts as it might encourage others to have a go as well  :)  Thanks.

For some reason I have my doubts that this is one that I came up with, if that is the case apologies to whoever.
It may also be a variation on a theme, not 100% sure.
I was looking through my picture files and found this one for May this year.

I think the two blue pinch twists above the front tyre may look better in black as it would add to the front tyre effect and complete the black circle, just a thought.

Wow.... this is great.... will it pass MOT?


as far as Graham's coment about the sizes.... maybe we should be putting something next to the model just for the size reference. like f.ex 2 littre coke/water bottle... that is pretty much in every house...

Had a go at this months challenge!
I added a front light, and missed some pinch twists i think. But I'm very pleased and will have another go with better colours and light!

My attempt.  Please excuse the lack of rear wheel it popped just as I was about to take the photo and I couldn't be bothered to remake it.

I have done many things wrong but am pleased it kinda looks like the picture but am looking forward to the SBS so I can see how it should be done  ;)

Hi Graham.

I am still waiting for broadband but had a bit of time on the wireless network today. Here's a bike i made a while ago it's definitely my favorite one.

I thought the idea was to copy exactly...OK, next time I will see what I can do differently.

For now, here is my "copy":

I like Tonya's. It looks like it is made of 260's and that you could get it out of two main balloons. Initially I thought I could make the larger/360 one out of one black and one blue, but, alas, no. I am quite frugal, so if I use this design, I think I would scale back to Tonya's size. They are both definitely more elaborate than the current motorcycle I make in restaurants. Thank you for sharing!
