Some nice detail Paul.

, its only a matter of time before I give in and get one !!

Resistance is futile lol

Bike kits are fun to do...... Just a box of plastic like any kit.... It's how you build them that's a little different..... Just think in terms of how the real production line I would do it is my method

Maybe a GB for later next year sometime Tony? I've never tried one either.

Sounds like a plan

Good start Paul, the engine looks great

Lovely work Paul, great detail

 

[Hecky]

That's looking really good. I usually build race bikes because they look cool, but this kit looks like it's got plenty of detail to get involved in.

Motoring along Paul, looks very nice indeed

 

[Darian Frey]

That's an absolutely cracking build so far - loving all the sub-assembly work!

Had a little set back

I always put on a coat of humbrol clear so it's easier to get decals to lie down, and makes 'glass' look clear....... But it all went a bit milky in appearance so I think my bottle is contaminated some how

So the tank got remasked/lightly sanded/resprayed so it's not as neat as it was the first time

For the glass I'm not bothered about the indicators or tail light as they are going transparent orange or red, but the head light and screen needed sorting..... I found a bottle of Johnson's kleer that must be at least 12 years old...... Worked a treat....... So back on track

Zorst on, back wheel in, tank on
