discussion papa 695's Honda CB750

[Guest]

eh Colin. What is the talc technique ? Sure it is not the same as Pauline's throw it every where in the bedroom technique. Technique !!!

Nice engine Ian. Brings back memories of all the motor bickes I owned & the taking apart of said engines. The frusatration with gearboxes with out puller tools & kickstart spring retainers. Like the effect of wear & oil.

Well I have been busy on this but not all the time, with the weather we've been having it's been too nice to sit in the house building models. With me doing it as a scrap yard diorama, I've been having to build and weather each part before it goes together in the sub sections and over all build So heres a few pictures of what I've been doing still plenty of work before they go together

View attachment 65985 View attachment 65986 That's the engine with the talc treatment thanks to Colin I think it looks better

Nice work Ian that engine looks like youll need a block n tackle to lift it

I love what you have done to the seat...top marks.

 

[Guest]

Flippin' eck Ian .... I'm not giving you any more ideas if you manage that level of authenticity.

My attempts at talc didn't come out that good, nice one mate.

Got to agree with Aaron the seat looks brilliant.

 

[Guest]

Wow. I swear I've seen a dispatch rider in London on a bike which looked just like that.
