It is not quite motorcycle art, but a statue of one of the most memorable biker characters of all time, Jim Goose from "Mad Max"    It is 1/6 scale. The cat is normal size

  Thanks for liking it.  I had been looking for Jim Goose figure for long time. Although I saw many many many Max figures-good or bad-, I was unsuccessful finding Goose figure anywhere. So decided to make it by myself. If I could find 1/6 scale MFP Kwaka Z1000 to go with the figure, that would be awesome.

Looks like the (WRONG /mirrored?) side of a 1941 In-Line Four 4 441 Indian

I can sculpt you one (for the right price) will also consider trades in bike parts for my cb750 k5...lol

How much is the right price and where can I see your sample of works? I have done enough of scale models, clay bikes. I am not into making whole darn thing from scratch anymore.

Well... i started looking into it and JEezzzuzzz..you aren't kidding. There's NOThing out there?!
Wow...I have a big mouth.
Yes.. I can definitely do  it.
It would take a TON of time.
No idea what i would charge ...guessing 12" scale? 1/6?
I remember seeing the original cover art  guy being done up as a scale model...and it always seemed to me that that would have made  a better Goose than max, but I couldn't even find that!
Modifying an existing Figure (like the one you already own) would be a LOT easier... only real difficult part is getting his face right...even at that scale its a little tough...subtleties and all...
Hmmm...that might be an option

  I was asking for 1/6 scale Kwaka Goose bike, not the statue, Free Booter.  I don't have fancy machines to tool scale model parts.

 Those figures and statues I can sculpt fine just. In the toy industry, though it depends on details, 1/6 scale statue goes from $1000 to whatever.
