Oooh i am liking those Bobbers Richard
Here's an update on my R1 Taira, Much learnt esp with the airbrush. Will do the next bike a bit differently but have realised its a slow and methodical approach thats needed and maybe a bit more planning and forethought before even touching the sprues [ATTACH]301069[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301070[/ATTACH]

That looks great. And the frame couldn't be more metal like, without actually being metal....

I'm glad you liked the "Bobbers" is that what you call them. :smiling:
Seriously your R1 Taira progress looks good and neat. That's what's needed when dealing with automotive kits. Cleaning up the sprue attachments and not leaving any scratches from sanding seamlines is a challenge. Really good job. :thumb2:

Cheers,

Hi Kirstin, never been a big fan of bikes but love the finish you've got on that paint work, looks like a showroom 1:1 scale
(now I'm confused, did I get your name wrong :dizzy: )
