Hi to all you modellers hers this weeks update. Iv have had problems this week I sprayed the tank in my shed as IV done with the rest of the bike. im using a box as a spray booth :-) anyway i sprayed the tank and i was very happy with the out come. i then left it for 2 days in the mean time i sprayed the rad and stand. now’s the time to lacquer the tank first coat looked good so left it when i went back yes my night mere was here the tank had gone spotty so i phoned my brother ho sprays real bikes as a hobby he said it might be to damp in the shed give it one more coat and use the lamp on my maglamp so i did and it worked so one more coat and back under the lamp. and here is the result with a matt lacquer.

That really does look the business. Lovely finish and very realistic detail. You could take a shot of that against an outdoor background and you would be hard pushed to not think of it as real.

Great job.

[simontie]

nice finish mark did you say that was your first build cause if it is i am giving up lol

well done excelent job

That has turned out very nicely indeed. As others have said if thats your first model I just got to see the next one.

Very well done!
