      Lovely metallic finishes again around the engine and framework. Absolutely superb looking model already.

      thanks Ian,Andy & Rich appreciate your kind words and yes Sarge thats Abe's old ride. I moved on to the tires while the paint was drying on some sub assemlies.
      here they are untouched

      then sanded with 80grit

      next to simulate heat blueing I inked them with these sharpie pens

      after applying

      then I blended the ink and 'toned' it down with a soft cloth

      That's a great trick with the tyres there! If ever I get up the gumption to try a bike, I will have to remember that one.
