'HELP', I think im turning in to a techy, i'll explain, while building my KS750 i found Tamiya has left of what i consider (as a former machnic) a major engine component, the down pips from the cylinder head to the equalizing chamber, so a quick tinternet thingy & found what i was looking for (simples) so i set about making my own, but befor i new it i had made HT leads, clutch & brake cables and even the leavers for the handel bars where will it end, Ahhhh. LOL.

These look really great!

Love your chipped paint, is that done with a pencil? maskol? or some other way?
 
Thread owner
Thanks for the comments Fewzz,

I used a dark gray primer then painted dark yellow top coat then used brown wash, then used a craft knife to scrape off the dark yellow to show the primer.

The outlining is done with dry brushing with Dark gray.

I used my hobby table lamp to heat up the mudguard to put the dent in it.

Glad u like as im new to wethering and im still experimenting.

Well maneged to do it, a little tricky but it workes, was it worth it, not really there is very little turn before the tyres hit the inner wheel arch.

Hi John

Looking stunning mate. Are you going to be showing this little diorama anywhere in Plymouth. I would love to see it first hand.

I am only just getting back into doing models. My mrs old man does them all the time. He got another highly commended at Plymouth's Model Club last month. I told him I am going to get higher than him in the next show.

Looking forward to seeing the final piece.
