Ah, so it was produced? Interesting. 7 years on Ebay and countless memorabilia shows / stores I've never seen one yet. I'm still slightly dubious on that one actually. I think it is a case of "never released" myself. I can only hope I'm wrong and one of us finds one so we can make it!

Yea I don't think there is one out there, I've been searching online for over 10 years for one and looked in a number of vintage toy stores in NY, but then again I never thought I would find the helmet or the DVD's so I guess there is still hope. I was going to make a toy myself eventually. I have a toy honda dirt bike that I bought a couple of years ago that I want to use. My friend used to work for McFarlane toys and he suggested using modeling clay to fabricate the pieces. I know its going to take some time and a lot of patience.

You'll be interested in following 2fastforyou 's new project then, the thread of which you'll find on the main list. He's about to do just that. Hopefully, it might inspire you to do the same?!

No Ducati, plasticard is not only printer paper... Here you could find a lot of plasticard: every type have heights different. www.modellismobaracca.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=21_150Plasticard is a plastic paper that you can cut with a cutter to create particular models. It's a material used only by modellers: for example, these 2 objects was created with plasticard (then painted)

If you want to see some of my jobs, see that I create an air filter with simple plasticard and paperboard. BEFORE AFTER This car is the "Traveller", the '69 Dodge Charger used by John Schneider (Bo Duke) in the "Collier & Co." movie (the movie with Rex Smith!!!!) Yesterday, a picture of my model (not yet finished) was apperead on the official site of "Collier and Co.". www.collierandcomovie.com

Hi!
Awesome. You've quite a talent there. I've never heard of plasticard, but it's number of different applications and durability makes it very good to work with. I look forward to seeing what you can do with Street Hawk. Have you received your Honda model yet? Keep us posted.

Can Plasticard be bent into a certain shape?

Ducati, it depend by the thickness of the plasticard paper. Logically, with 0.25mm paper there is the possibility to bent it. With 0.75mm or 1.00mm it's impossibile to obtain a good bent. For this reason I will use 0.25mm and 0.50mm for my Street Hawk.
