    G'Day & Welcome "to the Great South Land" & to a top forum "Skipper".
    There are quite a few members from the UE on the forum as well as across the rest of the world..
    You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
    Make sure you keep showing off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [work in progress] photos with build notes.
    The bike is great; hours of fun & play riding all over the place there...love the design!!
    Enjoy the forum.
    Enjoy your woodwork.
    Cheers from On Top DownUnder, crowie

    Hi and welcome to a the fun toymaking section of the forum. As already said some great people on here as well as some fantastic toy/model makers.

    Love the bike I have pictures of a balance bike that I was going to use as a basis of a build but nothing as classy as yours.

    Hope to see more of your work soon

    hello,
    here is a small Update for the balancer BikeIMG-20160517-WA0000.jpgIMG-20160517-WA0004.jpgIMG-20160517-WA0007.jpgIMG-20160517-WA0015.jpgIMG-20160517-WA0017.jpg20160404_211037.jpg20160406_205825.jpg20160407_190830.jpg20160419_210422.jpg20160420_210648.jpg

    You see the finished result and a bit of the making of a 1958 HD Panhead engine.

    What a great looking bike. I'm sure it will be treasured for years for this kid, and for the generations after him/her. I'm curious to see other toy projects from you.

    Some one is going to be a very happy person, I know if I was young enough I would love to own one of these. Well done on a great build so far
