Well back to the Bikes again,building this for a X-mas present so not much time left. Basic oob build with a few pe goodies sprinkled in.Here the basic parts and a few dry fitted components
thanks Graham , I used semi-gloss black followed by a light dusting of model master aluminum plate buffing metalizer,then I gave it a wash with promodeller black(thanks again for that tip) and finally a spray of dullcoat\ said:Stunning work Trey. can I ask what you used to paint the main engine block? It really does look good.
Thanks Ron ,I too was hooked by the Jap bike invasion but it was a Z1R that got me. I think our Dads were on to something! I got the 'you can have a f*%#$ motorcycle when you move out 'speech(I did both promptly) I hope you jump on a bike build far too few being built here!\ said:Trey, I was in my early teens when the first Japanese bike arrived in the U.K. It was the Honda Benley.I told my dad I was going to save up and buy one.
"Not bloody likely, you'll kill yourself, forget it!"
"Yes dad."
Judging by my behavior when I aquired my first car from a scrap yard, he was probably right!
Since then I have had little interest in bikes, nor the desire to have a go at building a kit of one. But, following this superb build, watching it grow and the tricks with the various finishes and effects you so cleverly employ, I can feel my resistance crumbling with great rapidity!
Great stuff.
Ron
