Hi to all you modellers hers this weeks update. Iv have had problems this week I sprayed the tank in my shed as IV done with the rest of the bike. im using a box as a spray booth :smiling: anyway i sprayed the tank and i was very happy with the out come. i then left it for 2 days in the mean time i sprayed the rad and stand. now’s the time to lacquer the tank first coat looked good so left it when i went back yes my night mere was here the tank had gone spotty so i phoned my brother ho sprays real bikes as a hobby he said it might be to damp in the shed give it one more coat and use the lamp on my maglamp so i did and it worked so one more coat and back under the lamp. and here is the result with a matt lacquer.

That really does look the business. Lovely finish and very realistic detail. You could take a shot of that against an outdoor background and you would be hard pushed to not think of it as real.

Great job.

Wicked!

That has turned out very nicely indeed. As others have said if thats your first model I just got to see the next one.

Very well done!

Oh yes, that is the way to build bikes. Very nice paintwork and the chrome is very good. That looks one mean bike, great work at any level, for your first, absolutely superb Mark.
