        I'd really get bored with doing one genre, so yes, I do jump around a lot! Although, I've only ever made one SF model ( and that was for a mates' kid ), and never any fantasy stuff. I've made one Toon ( not likely to make any more ) but I'll generally have a go at anything!

          Doesn't look particularly metallic in the pictures, but it is! A couple of coats of gloss varnish & they'll be read for use.
          Assembly of the rear wheel & swing arm. Had to use flash, as it's getting dark earlier!

          Depending on how my hand is - I'll either prime & basecoat the frame, or assemble the forks & wheel.

              Might be a bit of a juggle, getting all the bits to fit between the frame halves!

                I used True Metal on the forks - it needs a bit more work to improve the finish...............

                  The tyre rubber is very soft & seems to scuff easily - I'll have to see if I can even the colour out somehow.
