hi all, found the site when searching for a model motorcycle, they all seem to be 1/9th or 1/12th nowadays but back in the day (mid to late 70's) i seem to remember being able to get 1/6th sizes. just cant seem to get them now. also the bikes that are on sale seem to be old classic racers or the racers of today. any help in pionting me in the right direction would be greatly recieved.

PS: saw that a few of you are bikers on here, so im in a good crowd ( ride a zrx1200r eddie lawson rep and a zx9, both of course in green lol)

Hi Rob and welcome to the forum. I used to enjoy making the 1/6th bikes especially the Heller ones with the engines built up of individual plates. They do seem to have lost thier popularity though nowadays.

I hope you enjoy your time here and post some of your own pictures sometime.

I did join the group with the purpose of gleening information as to which lathe to go for and avoid, but as I suspect as my skill levels develope I may be building scale models one day.

Best Regards
Geoff
There's a great buy on Ebay atm - but only three hours to go!

It has a typo in the description it's a Taig / Peatol lathe with some nice accesories too but listed as Petol Lathe so not many bids.

Hello everyone,
found this forum through a link in an answer to a post from Bunkerbarge on 'modelboatmayhem'. Main interests are RC steamship models. I'll post my most recent builds soon.

Cheers,
A!H

Google search that's it nothing else, although I was hunting for free cardstock models, especially cars & trucks and man do I have them now thanks to a very kind person who still remains a mystery to me but a very appreciated mysterious person.
