I would say not for a mild steel system operating in very challenging conditions. I would expect some heat blueing on the outlet exhaust downpipes though.

Thanks Tim for the feedback, I will darken that area down a bit.

I agree with Tim, the exhaust is probably not over-rusted if the bike has been used for a fair while. Maybe a bit dark in colour — I remember the rusted parts of the exhaust of my moped 30+ years ago being more of a tan-grey, but other than that, IMHO it looks very convincing.

Jakko thanks for that I will grey it down a bit I will try some thinned down Valleyo smoke.

Tony welcome aboard mate. that is very kind of you to say.

Work continues on the forks and handlebars. The very basic brake and clutch levers were chopped up and modified to remove the solid look. they still need a bit of cleaning up.



Next some bolt details were added to the yoke< hopefully some of the bike builders riders will put me right on the correct term.

I've been doing a bit of work on my Land Rover's exhaust, which gets used off road & it is pretty similar. The look you have is about right for one that been in use in difficult conditions for a while. It's all looking good Paul.

well it's starting to look like a bike.

Front forks assembled and added but prior to that the decal with the manufacturers badge on it was added. this was first applied to a thin piece of evergreen to give the badge a bit of depth.



added a bit of heat staining to the exhaust could probably do with a bit more but will do this when the detailing takes place.

Going along great Paul. Detail is top drawer. Funny how the exhaust looks on a clean frame though…..like someone has used old parts on a new bike…

[Mark1]

Looking good.

Tim,

Your right it does look strange I think I need to tone down the exhaust a tad but, the frame will look older when I have finished.

Looking good.

Thanks Mark
