Great work so far Monica, I've only built ! bike before and it turned out to be a wreck.

Yes. But I seem to remember it was a damned good wreck as well Ian.

[monica]

well an update on this one,have the engine in the frame,so able to start the pluming,
have more paint on the fairing,will add white stripe later on,once dry,
I know the green may not be a perfect mach,but will do,I,m not over troubling myself with it,
to much as its an Italian green,
have also made a start on the figure,have all the base colors down,just need to detail,and neaten her up,
size wise,I,m a little,bit shy iin high of the bike,but once the fairing is one,will add to it,and maybe
able to force ,perspective a little as well,
so I can see the same thing happening with my fatboy and Arnold as well,so for a 1/12, the figure real
needs to be round,the 150mm mark,just that added 40mm ,is off pulling,or in scale whats the next,
size up for 1/12 ? 1/6 ?

and for the decals,I have given them a couple of coats of matt,there not that good,but may use any way,
and just touch up the green the best I can,ops:
well do hope you like my progress so far,

[monica]

well this is were I,m upto with this one,
have the bike,mostly all done,needs some,touchup work,
the size is ,to me,not so bad,as it stands at about 110mm ,and she is 205mm ,
not quite,happy as you can see I,did rise the bike up by 10mm,
I think I will getaway with it,

well hope you like the progress so far,

Coming along very nicely Monica, and the green looks ok to me.

That's looking great Monica, but where's all the weathering?
Hehe only kidding, I saw this kit in a store today & was tempted... but I restrained myself.
Having seen yours, I might take the plunge next time I'm in there

[Snowman]

There may be a small scaling issue here, but it looks cool none the less!

That is quite a funky figurine that have chosen....."out standing" and mega Anime!

I know,Patrick,strange for me ha,,but dose look nice as a clean build,
I do think you would enjoy the build,as I did,no fit problems,at all,very nice ,kit,the only think,
that I had a little problem with was ,some pluming as to were it should go,
very happy that you do like this one,

ta,Gavin,very happy that your liking this one,
very hard to match one to the other,as I,m real not sure what scale she is,at standing 205mm tall,
so by raising the bike up by 10 to 12mm,dose trick the eye a little,but think I should have her,infront,
with the bike on a bit of a plinth behind her,as I think a 1/6 bike would of been to big,
she was given to me by a friend about a year ago,as I do also like the mega,Anime figures,

That looks great Monica. The size / perspective thing works well. I like it.

ta Peter do real appreciate ,that,once done,on a base,and use slopes as well,will have the bike in the for ground,and her behind,
and use a death of about 200mm and have her as far back as I can,will work a little better,well I,m hoping,

[Pikeman]

Looks great Monica nice clean build

ta,Stuart,much appreciated,so glad that you like it,she,s all done,and with the figure,
