Hi all
I'm Paul, from Kendal in Cumbria.
I'm a generalist modeller, I make all sorts of different stuff, but haven't done any plastic modelling for many decades.
So I'm about to get back into building plastic model motorcycles, having discovered I might be able to reproduce the best bike I ever had - a purple Kawasaki KH400-A4.
The revelation for me was a YouTube account in the name Kota Scale Model, with a great clip about spoking wheels to improve on out-of-the-box moulded ones:
(If you're a motorcycle modeller, his other videos are great, too.)
Once the Hasegawa kit arrives, I'll start a thread in the appropriate section on here.
In the meantime, here are some of my lockdown models, mainly card...
