    Tamiya 1/12 CBR1000RR-R

    Thanks for the brilliant comments guys. Neil - I've never owned a bike myself but did ride a couple of my brother's when I was younger. The bug just never bit. Steven - go for it! I really enjoyed this, apart from the obvious bit, which was hopefully a once in a lifetime issue!

    That's the spirit Jim, a bit of artistic licence under the bonnet 😁 First bit of hairspray chipping done

    Post apocalypse Citroën HY

    A bit of a quick one before the next GB starts. This was a free .stl file that I printed out, using about a fivers worth of resin. It's a bit rough (what can you expect for free 😂) but it'll suit the final look. I changed the roof rack a bit as I'll be adding more stuff up there, plus I added...

    Thank you both so much. I wonder if Matron would be tempted to trade her sidecar combo for one of these John? 😆 More pictures in the completed thread: https://www.scalemodelling.co.uk/threads/tamiya-1-12-cbr1000rr-r.1276839/

    Tamiya 1/12 CBR1000RR-R

    For my first bike build I'm happy with how this has turned out. It takes quite a different approach to other genres, but one that I really enjoyed. No doubt I'll be making more of these, I'm just praying for more luck with the decals next time 😂

    Thanks, I might take a chance and see what the kit looks like.

    All done. Here's a couple of quick snaps but I'll try and remember to do a completed thread with some better ones

    I don't suppose you've ever built one have you? I keep looking at it but at over 40 years old I don't imagine it's the crispest mould ever.

    I wish Belkits would bring out a Mk2. And hurry up with the bloomin RS200 that's been "in progress" forever!

    Do you have a hobby mancave

    My shed has been used for various hobbies over the years, so when I started making models in 2019 it was rearranged a little and became my glue sniffing den for a few years. However, being freezing cold in the winter and boiling hot in the summer wasn't ideal so I was very lucky to be allowed...

    Tamiya Fireblade

    Thanks gents, it has certainly been trying my patience 😂 This is the worst decal, on the side under the fuel tank (excuse my grubby finger marks!) Maybe a bit of touching up will improve the appearance a bit

    Tamiya Fireblade

    Well, what a palaver that turned out to be 😂 I won't bore you with the full rigmarole but I can tell you that these decals have 4 layers of paper behind the blue backing. I know because I scraped them off, one by one, from each decal 🤦 Even then, some refused to soak through. This is one of...

    Forum going very slow?

    My wife's company, based in Sheffield, had a couple of days of crazy slow speeds on their intranet (all data is cloud based). Eventually it was traced to an accidentally unplugged fiber cable in a London data centre. They still don't know exactly how my wife's system was working at all, but...

    Definitely sluggish for me too. Mobile / Firefox

    Ford fiesta mk 1 1980 van as a stl file

    I found that one but it looks like a mk3, so even newer. If you have that one printed, simply paint the rear windows in body colour and you'll have the van version. To create your own Mk1 van stl you'll either need to be very good with CAD, or try using one of the AI programs that can create a...

    Ford fiesta mk 1 1980 van as a stl file

    I've looked on all of the sites I normally use and can't find anything, not even the car variant that would be a easy conversion. That image has definitely been misnamed then as it's a Mk2. If it helps your search, the Mk1 has a bonnet front edge that goes straight across above the headlights...

    Ford fiesta mk 1 1980 van as a stl file

    Sorry I can't help but isn't that a Mk2?

    Tamiya Fireblade

    Maybe I spoke too soon 🫪 I intended to do the side fairings this morning before leaving for work. One side behaved perfectly, the other is stuck fast, despite both having exactly the same treatment. It's a strange one but I'll persevere 🙂
