[Custom] BMW 1M Coupe with Bike Rack

Illustration for article titled [Custom] BMW 1M Coupe with Bike Rack

This is my first attempt at a bike rack, or roof rack in general, but I think so far it's looking pretty decent! What I'm missing now is, of course, the bicycle to go on top. Does anyone know where I can find a 1:64 bicycle to put on top, preferably of the racing variety? I hear sometimes that HO scale for model trains works, but I think that is 1:87, which would seem way too small.

My last resort is fabricating a bicycle myself out of the same brass rods as the rack itself, but I hope it doesn't have to come to that!

Also, should I attach it first, then paint the whole thing, or paint the car and rack seperately and then glue it on? I'm afraid of the glue ruining the paint finish by clouding, but painting is obviously easier when they whole thing is apart.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
