Glad my misery has cheered you up
, not a bad idea with the leaving the side off have thought about something similiar before but if I was doing that I would like to do it as a "Stripped" model so that the panels where still beside the model!If that makes sense.
Ah might getaround to stripping it on Wednesday and sanding it before the weekend. Might be heading up to Belfast at the weekend so will drop into the model shop hopefully the UK issue with Tamyia sprays has been sorted and they have them back in stock.0 -

Cheers lads yeah i am quite happy with it. Like I said at the start its been a whilesince i built a model so am happy I havent completely lost any of the few skills i had!
Doktor the valves are done
I did them gold for the stem as withthe wheels and used chrome for the valve covers,you just cant see it in the pic. The one thing I have forgotten to do is the black trim on top of the windscreen. 0 -
Ok so after a few delays the paint finally arrived at the same time my baby daughter arrived a week early (Everybody AWWWWWWW!) anyway got the paint done.
Now a couple of things for the eagle eyed amongst you (Dok I am looking in your direction) you will notice a couple of things. One I had a slight mishap with the left mirror and I destroyed the paint a little, I have brushed paint it for the moment but I will get around to fixing it properly with the airbrush. Nowfor the second issue dippy here painted the indicators clear red instead of clear orange!! What a grade a muppet I am! but other then that it all went together fine. Happy enough with the build and will definately be doing another bike again.
So the final pics
So hope u all enjoyed following the build. I think me and Dok will have to keep the plastic model building end of the hobby up!! The reason for the bike build was to reignite my passion in the hobby and I think I have done that. I will keep doing build threads if everyone enjoys them. My next build is an Revell AC Cobra so keep an eye out for the thread.0 -

As for the mirror... tell everyone its a "stone chip":D
Ill say nothin about the red indicators:p
Ive started into a diorama, for the tree I made a few weeks ago, see "shakin that tree" thread...
Still dunno what to put on it.
Sorry did I not mention that it was a "custom" build!! decidedto change the lights!!!
Hmm the diorama not really sure about that one to be honest. Tryingone myself for the infamous DeLorean I keep speaking off. I have the base done to the point where I need to find appropriate groundwork for a desert scene.0 -

Desert is easy...
Just build up the base in the shape you want with polyfilla. Paint it with "sand " paint.
Then spray on photo mount (glue) and sprinkle on somtimg like Mig pigments "sand". Or, you can just use actual fine sand.0 -
