supersavage Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Wheels are done....well almost. I knew I'd have trouble with the spokes luckily it's just the one I had trouble with so hoping that I'll be able to fix it as I can't move on until the wheels are done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Exhaust and radiators/cooling system done. This is probably as far as I can go for a while as I need to get more modelling materials, I also want to see if I can get a rotating display stand for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Annoyingly I couldn't find what I wanted or did find it and it's silly prices So I got started on the next batch of parts and the first of body panels. I'm going to paint it metallic red and came across this silver primer in my airbrush paint bundle box and thought it would perfect for the red. Though I think it may be a bit too light for what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post supersavage Posted April 20, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2020 Headlight cluster and dash is done. Had an argument with one of the dash decals and lost a tiny screw. I managed to save the decal, not sure how but glad I did but I think the screw is burried in the bowls of the bike somewhere I hope tamiya have put a couple of spares in the packets. I also wish I had some LEDs that I could've put in the lights. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisT Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Damn, I know that feeling. Aren't they waterslide? I've never had to remove any but surely you could soak it in water and lift it? Detail looks spot on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post supersavage Posted May 3, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2020 It's done though the decals were a bit of a nightmare and aren't great (whoever invented water slide decals needs shooting lol) I'll get more pictures of it when I can get the lighting a bit better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisT Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Definitely pulled that off nicely it looks almost real. Very good detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 The more I look at it the more I'm tempted to get another one to do the white version and hope that I can redeem myself with the decals. I don't think I will though it would probably depend on how much longer the lockdown goes on for as I'm already bored lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
