Looking good Jim I like the gold detailing on the nut (a little wash over that nut will really make it stand out and make it more realistic

[james pithouse]

update. Is this to much wash ken. It's gun metal tamiya x-10 with x-1 mix or not enough wash for the nuts

Looks ok Jim (If you used enamels as I do the sludge in the bottom of your brush cleaning bottle makes for an amazing wash for this sort of thing )

[james pithouse]

i'll remeber that, update mud guard

Considering how small that must be Jim that looks great

[james pithouse]

I was debating to put it on or not Ken. I'm glad I did, I think it sets it off nicely. all I got to do now, is lacquer it. And then scrape off the lacquer, where the seat goes, and put it on the bike. When all the other bits are on. and it will be finished. not rushing it.

Just don't over do it Jim, don't forget these choppers were well loved and well kept.
