discussion Honda CB750F, Tamiya 1/12

Lovely job, neat and crisp with some good metallic finishes. Tamiya have always made some superb motorcycle kits and they are always a joy to build. This just looks so realistic! If you can find a 1/12th scale figure to stand next to it such as dolls house resin stuff it will bring it to life. Putting them both on a very simple base of tarmac made from wet and dry abrasive paper glued to the glass of a picture frame and you have an instant realistic setting with a ready made neat frame.

You made a great job of that. It's nice to see a real bike and not the usual racers or super bike.

Great build.

That is beautiful Paul, lovely work to make it look so real, as others have commented on. Just one question, is it light or has the CB750 decal ripped near the CB? Whatever, on a dio this will look just awesome.

well spotted, it has indeed got a tiny bit missing. had a few of the decals break up as i put them on, managed to piece the others together but that one had a tiny bit disintegrate

lovely, did you rechrome the exhaust cans, if not how did you manage to get them together without a seam showing? I'm sitting here looking at the exhaust of my Moto Guzzi Centauro trying to work out how to do just that bit.

 

[PaulTRose]

they are not rechromed, i was just very careful when i put the together not to get glue everywhere. i also touched up any missing chrome with a silver paint pen, dosnt work for big areas but for touching up little bits it works well

 

[Guest]

Great, thanks. They look fine, I didn't want to make a mess nor start learning to use alclad.

Lovely work Paul. Not a bike person, but I know a great build when I see one and this is definitely a fabulous finish.
