its gone all a bit pete tong



the forks have injection gate points half way down, so of course when you remove them from the sprue you remove some of the chrome.......so i decided to mask off the lowest bit to keep the chrome, sand off the chrome on the upper bits (gets rid of a parting line too) and respray with humbrol chrome.....worked a treat..........fitted the forks to the frame and damaged the yellow paint,....so i masked up and touched up the yellow......just got a tiny bit of overspray and whilst cleaning that up i damaged the humbrol chrome!!! aarrrghh!!

im just going to have to live with it





wheels on, zorst on, seat on

[takeslousyphotos]

It seems like everything I touch goes a bit pear shaped in one way or another Paul.......... But I'm getting really good at covering up my screw ups.

That is looking sweet ............. I guess I need to get a wriggle on with mine.

looking good so far, I like the colour, sometimes chrome and yellow lose each other but it doesn't seem the the case here.

[PaulTRose]
