    Britten Model for sale on eBay

    Anyone got a spare 700 euro?

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BRITTEN-...IAAOSwaOpblq6M

    I'd love one of these.. Rare as hens teeth and jolly expensive! Can't afford this one though.

    Has anybody on here owned/made one?

    Tyres would have 'gone off' by now.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    there's a few change hands as quite a few still aren't made up, mine included, kind of like it better in bits.
    have thought about copying it to say four times the size in a 3d printer for a laugh but got real bikes that need the time at the moment, that's for a broken leg in a cast month i reckon

    Now THAT is a grand idea.. Scan all the parts, scale them up, 3D print a 1:1 scale Britten..

    I was coming back in to town from a pointless meeting a couple weeks back and was driving through industrial Hornby to get on the m'way to civilisation and out the corner of my eye spotted what I thought was a Britten (in the CRS livery) parked randomly in the window of a shop.

    So I did what any of us would do and pulled into the shop. Turns out it was a print and signage place and they had printed out a life size picture onto either glass or perspex. and had lit it from underneath. It looked fucking awesome. I took a photo of it but not the name of the business because I reckon one of those on the wall in my mancave would be the absolute tits.

    Just wanted to share whilst we were on the subject.

    We're not talking about the same thing. You clearly do not understand art.

    We were talking about the physical representation as art. You were merely subject to La Trahison des images. Or The Treachery of Images for you Heathens.
    Its the whole This is not a Pipe thing.

    You should have known but not everyone can be as well bred as us conisiurs, conesewers, cona. . .
    ahh smeg! I've cheesed it.

    I think I have left my cellphone at home or in the car (or at the gym). I bought the motorbike to work

    you'd be far better to photgraph the real bike and with the right program its easy to do a file, lot of cost in printing though

    Fair enough, I know very little about 3D printing and it's associated tech.. Maybe a world I need to finally delve into

    I remember those models being released - can't remember the cost but expensive at the time but clearly I missed yet another investment purchase. I really should not be given money.

    Shit, I have one of those. Built it, had it in a display case, then had two children. It now sits broken, wrapped in an old New World bag at the bottom of the cupboard. Might have to get the old Tamiya pink paint out again and fix it.
