Cheers gents.

Great work Bob and a testament to your patience and something I would not even consider trying to do as it would drive me mad. :anguished:

Andy.

[Ian M]

Rather you than me Bob. It looks bloody amazing .

[Mickc1440]

Wow just doesn't seem enough Bob

[JR]

Bob, the Committee here at Race Towers were rightfully impressed with the work on the tyres that the rare awarding of the has been given well before the complection.

Engine looks spot on .



Congratulations.

[Mr Bowcat]

Thanks chaps.

[Mr Bowcat]

Morning all.

Did a bit over the weekend. Got the front wheel finished had a lot of trouble with the long tyre decals (they cracked and fell apart) and now don't have enough left for the back wheel. Will have to improvise might cut them in half and have shorter ones on the back.





Did some more CF decalling on the front and rear mudguards.



And just for fun put the pit stand together. The instructions would have this painted black but I decided to give the Zero paints Rosso V4 a test.

Morning to you as well Bob .
That's nice work again . Pity about the decals, was the angle they were on that caused the cracking !

[Mr Bowcat]

Not sure Jon, these are the tyre type where you have to apply them face down then wet the back to get them to release. It may have been the angle??

I was thinking about tyre shape and being circular might have been the cause?

[Mr Bowcat]

Oh I see. The decals were curved to match the profile of the tyre.

Thats a shame about the decal i have seen them on ebay for sale and hero boy as well i think but they are a bugger to peel once applied, rest of the work is stunning

Looking smart Bob and congratulations on the Dogs Award from the Race Towers

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers boys.

[Mr Bowcat]

Morning all.

Welcome to another episode of "Who else is really bored of CF". :tears-of-joy:

On that note, swing arm and engine cover. Both quite tricky, the swing arm has a cavity each side where the chain passes through that needed covering before the main flat(ish) sides. The engine cover is a mostly flat piece but had a lot of detail so took a while to get the decal to settle down everywhere.
