If your childhood resembled anything like ours, well at least mine, it means hours were spent constructing toys out of a pile of part.
Whether it was gluing together scale models, rummaging through a pile of Lego bricks, or even just building blocks into massive structures, motorcyclist seems to sprout from kids who worked with their hands and had to use a bit of their imagination.
Well, now you can get back to the roots of your childhood, and add a splash of your current two-wheeled passion to the process, as erector set creator Meccano has created a motorcycle kit, in partnership with Ducati, which features the Monster 1200 S.
The British company’s Ducati Monster 1200 S makes some deviations from its namesake, namely with the use of a girder fork styled front-end and other aesthetic choices, but more “authentic” details can be found in the shotgun exhaust, coil-spring suspension, and functioning kickstand.
Targeted for adults who operate on a 10-year-old’s level, the set includes 290 parts in total, and is said to be already available in stores that carry the Meccano line.
For those collectors reading, the Monster 1200 S model seems to be the first motorcycle in Ducati’s lineup to get the erector set treatment, likely with more Ducati models to come from Meccano at a later date. Like Pokémon, you can collect them all.
