I am still here.
Good day everyone. Just a short missive to inform you that I am still alive and on the forum. Firstly I would like to apologise to all you good folks, as I have not commented on any builds for months now. The reasons are many and varied, but suffice to say, life has got in the way. Hopefully... -

Clearing a glue bottle "needle".
I recently purchased a bottle of Revell Contacta Professional. On going to use it I found that the needle had been slightly bent in transit. This is no problem but the needle appears to have been leaking and is blocked. How can I clear this blockage ?. I believe I have read somewhere of...- JayCee

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
A bit more done to the bike. I am now going to address the frame. I really should have done this at the beginning, but better late than never. Firstly the steering head. This has a flange right down the front complete with a lump that you are supposed to put a supplied screw through. As per...- JayCee

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
AS can be seen in the above photo, I have fitted the oil tank and associated pipes. When I found the tank in the box of bits I cringed in horror that I had actually shown a photo of it here. It looked as though it had been built by a retarded chimp. Pretty apt considering I have been referred...- JayCee

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
Hooray ! I am back. At least for the moment. The chemo is finished for now and the crappy side effects are dissipating. Anyway enough of me, there are, unfortunately, members of the forum who are far worse off than me. On to the build. Carry on from where I left off last time ( last year...- JayCee

Latest Acquisitions (2024)
On my recent visit to the UK I decided to make some use of it and purchase a few items I needed. Whilst I have always loved living here in Cyprus I am the first to admit that for purchasing modelling supplies it is a complete desert. This actually surprises me as there is an IPMS branch here... -

Happy New Year.
As I am away and out of contact over the new Year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone on the Forum a Happy, Healthy end Prosperous New Year. As we say here in Cyprus, "XRONIA POLLA," which basically translates to" Many More Years" or as Mr Spock would say, Live Long and... -

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
Well now that the engine/gearbox is mounted in the frame I can progress with the drive side of the engine. The first thing I did was to install the HT lead to the spark plug. This is where I found out that, as is common with most of these kind of kits, the tubing supplied is actually too small...- JayCee

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
Finally a miniscule amount more done to the Manx. Continuing from my last post I have finished the carburettor. This first picture is of the real thing and is for information purposes only. The next picture is my attempt at the same thing. Blown up like this it looks absolutely abysmal, but...- JayCee

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
Hello folks. Yes, I am still here. I haven't departed for pastures new. After an exceptionally long summer hiatus brought on by my love of Sun, Sea and Sand, caused by spending the first 26 years of my life in these sunny climes, compounded by a complete lack of mojo, I have finally got my 2...- JayCee

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
So, after a short hiatus while I took my wife away for a few days R&R, I have managed to get a modicum of progress done. Carrying on from the last instalment I primed all the engine and gearbox pieces and lo and behold more seam work was definitely needed. These were attended to and re...- JayCee

Hi John, that is a lovely tranquil space you have there. We don't have much of a flower garden, they are mostly in pots, but this is the wife's current favourite. The Honeysuckle is in full bloom. John.- JayCee

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
Hi Simon, glad to have you along. This could well be a masterclass in how not to build a bike. I have got a small amount of work done, as per photo. Some parts getting ready to go together for a whole. The piece on the left is the camshaft housing. The white "fungus" will be the retaining...- JayCee

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
I have made a start on the engine. Beginning with the nice shiny gold sprue! Why this sprue is gold I have no idea, because unless I am mistaken all the parts on it were cast in Magnesium, machined to final spec and then given a protective chromate coating, which was a dull black colour. The...- JayCee

Italeri 1/9 Manx Norton.
I have actually started to work on his bike. I decided to start with a simple piece like the oil tank. Possibly a mistake as it turns out that it needs as much altering and cleaning up as any other part. Most of the week spent on it to get to the stage it is at now. The weekend brought a...- JayCee
