Hi all,


This is my entry for the bike GB


I will be putting my own stamp on this build with the paintwork, other wise the kit will be more or less box stock.


I hope you will enjoy my build although it will be a short build!

View attachment 119504



Ive have stripped of the chrome on the wheels as they were to false looking

Next ive given the tires a good sand round to give them a orn look but also they had a very broad seal line which had to be removed.

Wheel have been painted using chrome spray and tires now fitted with the end result :smiling3:

Hi all another quick update


View attachment 121264



Using some nail art beads i have tried to give a studded look to the side of the seat as it looked plain i have attached them with a dab of super glue and then used a silver sharpie for quickness.


Should have alot more done by this afternoon/evening so keep your eyes peeled!


Cheers,Ben

As you can see the the bike is all put together wired etc.. I replaced the rear carrier for the takegawa option part as this one looks more realistic and blends in better.The engine has has a black wash where necessary to knock back the chrome to give it a used look.


I will be making a base today for this so watch this space!


Cheers,Ben
