More excellent work Scottie. When you move up in scale the model really does deserve the extra effort

|While I am waiting for my paint to turn up my fault for not checking earlier I have started on some sub assemblies. To start with the rear mudguard. The guard is hinged to allow for wheel changing/ de-mudding? this was shown on the kit with a raised panel line and badly formed hinge. The joint was scribed in and a new hinge added. Then a nut and bolt were punched and added this was I suspect used to hold the hinged part down. The rear light was added along with the screw details and cable with clamps. Finally screw detail was added to the panier hanger.





I have also started on the pillion seat but that is clamped up and waiting to dry.

cheers

Your right It just has to be added, thanks for the kind comment.

Very tidy work Paul, the little extras like the hinge & the wrapping on the light cables are awesome.

Beautiful work Scottie. When you're getting results like this it's no wonder you're enjoying it.

Jim, Thanks mate it is fun at the moment and that's what this hobby should be about.

The work on the sub assemblies continues. one thing that is very clear is that the mouldings are very tired now. Even having removed the alignment pins the halves do not line up very well and need a lot of fettling. That said though I would rather build something like this than a modern over engineered kit any day.

The first item was the pillion seat. The solid moulded bump stops were removed and new ones made from brass and plastic. next various pins and bolt heads were added.





Next the silencer was detailed the cast clamp was removed and a new one fashioned from brass with a plastic punched nut. Four pewter screw heads were added to the heat shield. The shield is just dry fitted to allow for painting it still needs a final clean up. Finally the pipe was thinned right down.



Finally for now the fuel tank. The locker on the top was detailed the flange was removed as it was far to thick and a new one cut and added. the lip around the lid was the same so replaced then a lock was added it still needs a final clean up. Then lastly the fuel cap had the edge serrated.

Pete,
I'm never sure how much to say or post during a build before people get fed up with it.

OMG not at all -I'm loving it!

Thanks Neil, as I said to Pete I don't want to bore people.

[JayCee]

Paul, I could never get bored with a build of this calibre. Keep it coming, please.
John.
