yamaha m1 camel

[simontie]

Thought about building this a while ago but other projects kept getting in the way, so finally with a bit of free time and a new model room (my daughter moved out) that I have invaded, and now slowly converting in to MY space

This is where I am.

Been about a year since my last post, so it has taken awhile to get back into it but much better now I am not in a cold garage,

I should say I have tried one or two experiments with this, exhaust springs and some dodgy carbon decals along with spraying the carbon pattern not sure i like it see what you think open to constructive criticism So far I think it looks ok !

Let me know what you think I will update as and when I have all the bits together and more to show

Lovely engine, subtle differences in metallic finishes and slightly different shades, great job. I always like bike models, mainly as I love bikes but the differences between the engine finish and the bright gloss bodywork make for a very pleasing display. I always leave off the panels as well!

Absolute cracker.

[Guest]

Cracking model. Beautiful paint work. 5 stars mate.
