Heller 1/8 Honda cb 750 K1

[Guest]

Hi Ken, So sorry to here about the frame on your kit. It seems that the whole kit is now going to be more difficult than you imagined. Having said that, looking at your latest update, you have managed to make a decent job of it and the black paint has certainly improved the look of it. Well just to cheer you up a bit, I am going to make a start on my Honda CB750 1/4 scale kit within the next day or two. It's going to be a long slow build, as I have to wait for monthly parts to arrive before I can continue with each stage. I was going to wait until I received the third pack, but I think I will make a start as soon as pack two arrives in a few days time.

Can't wait to see that.

Hi all back on this again, decided not to engrave the engine as I cant find a way of doing it that I like, so here's an update of where I am now.

Very good so far Ken, but you will probably have finished it before I get the next parts for my model.

Hi all I've done a bit more to this and done a few mock up shots with the tank and side panels on.

Heh Ken I'm not being funny here but is there absolutely nothing your not good at. That bike looks so perfect. The paint job on the tank is awesome and so crisp, you've defo got the nack for detail.


I see the mustang in the background too ( which lets face it is getting better day by day!


How many kits you do at the same time again??


Great work and progress ( always a pleasure to see

I'm like you Ken I believe I'm not bad but I see some creations on here and think what am I doing on here at all


Any ways


1 you can call me whatever you like ( the wife does) Rob is what most call me


2 I get a lot of inspiration from this forum and I look at the builds that not only you but Si Alan Peter, Scott Monica ( and pussycats) etc and I look at the kits I've made and I'm ashamed to say it think they look very below average.


I think i have about 7 on the go at the mo, trying to finish my pair of Blackburn Roc and Skua off but I'm itching to start my 1/32 wildcat


All this car building too is making me look further a field and looking at something like a classic Jag mk2 or like ( any suggests

I agree there are some amazing builders on here (I will probably get shot for this but the most talented is IMHO roymatblack he builds exquisite model cars from scratch, I have no idea how he dose it) I get an enormous amount of inspiration from this site and learn a lot of tips, the thing with this forum is the variety (a lot of forums concentrate on specific thing) look at what moni does with figures or tiking with dios, I love this forum, I am on several forums but if forced to pick just one, this would be the one hands down, no contest.
