years ago i built a Italeri Truimph despatch bike and i thought at the time this would make a good civilian model ...well 8 years as later i thought i would give it a go .
This was 2016

I just need a successful build and for me , motorcycles is the thing i know all about, its like back to basics

I cut the rear frame up last night to remove the luggage rack and frame for the paniers and added a couple of mudguard stays.

Its not an option to just leave these parts off as they are part of the frame
I am going with Tamiya TS-11 maroon which is a sort of period colour for pre war i think

New Muppet Monster!

Well i spent ages perfecting my polished alloy finish just to find the cover in question was pressed steel so now its satin black...

 

[Impisi]

That bike looks great already!

on my bench or better leaving mine is the Ansaldo S.V.A 5 in 1/50 boxed by Smer made be Artiplast in 1975.

James printed a fireman's Halligan bar for me to finish for my niece's wedding next weekend. It isn't perfect yet, but it will be a fine gift!

 

[paddy]

Ahh yes that old wedding saying , something old ,something new, something borrowed .......and a fireman's Halligan bar.

Mmm. Quite so. Taylor and her Mom have had a long "fondness" for fire fighters. My original idea was a subscription to a nekkid Fireman calendar, but that seemed less than appropriate for her first wedding. lol:
Yes my friends, I am THAT Uncle.
