Yep i'm still here / Tamiya YZF-R1

[Guest]

Yup i am still here guys, got a few kits on the go and have learnt quite a lot including the problem i had with the Challenger decal issue, turns out the Humbrol satin varnish i am using does not like to be shaken before i use it for spraying???? Comes out with a matt look and a whitish pwder type coat so i am experimenting with that. Here's a couple of pics of the m/bike i am doing, and again i used to do all the painting by brush so i started to do that and am not happy with the look of that on the bigger pieces of the bike so have prised off the underseat/ rear mudguard and stuck it in a jar with some dettol and will spray it with the other body parts whilst using a brush to do all the little pieces.

Nice so far Denise. I've never made a bike so I will follow the assembly/paint sequence and take mental notes. Looks like a good enjoyable build .

Hi Denise
What scale is this? I have only ever made a 1/35 motorbike to go on a dio. This will be interesting. Certainly looks as if the finish you have got so far is very good.

Something I've never tried.

We new members from a far away place know a man from the dark side that made his own spokes !

Hi Denise, great work on the 1/35 side car. Thought you might be interested with these shots I took at Shizuoka last year on 1/35 modifications to MiniArts Harley Davidsons by a Japanese modeler. It was mind blowing for me seeing it up close...
