discussion Tamiya - 1/12 - BMW K100

[bluriusz]

Hi everyone.


Recently finished motorcycle, made on sort of comission. Sort of, as comissioned by my brother in law as he has this motorcycle and wanted it's minature on his shelf somewhere. Colour scheme is as on the real thing. Just some minor differences as he has slighlty newer version.


Anyways, the kit was quite old. Moulds were average, especially the chromed ones. Aluminium paint is Alclad2, Semi Gloss Black is Revell Acrylics.


I must say that working on the satin finish goes to the top 3 of my most hated paints..Every piece of dust is like a big flashing sign saying "You amateur, look what you've done!"..


Overall I'm happy with the result. Now it goes on some shows and then on the shelf

Very nice Bart, nice to see a BMW bike for a change, as most kits seem to be Japanese bikes. I just wish that you could get some of the old British bikes in kit form in 1/12 or 1/6 scale. Anyway, great model and very nicely done.
