Howdy Skimodo,

First, welcome to the forum, we are glad to have you here.

other than welcoming you i thought i might mention a website you or your partner might like to have a look at. It ios a page of free downloads of Card models. If you arent familiar with card models, they are models made from paper some, like the ones on this site, you download and print off on your home computer then build yourself. These arent "cereal box cut outs" either, they are actual models.

But, since a picture is worth a thousand words, let me let the site do the talking, here are a few of the models availible on the site:

anyway, the above model is made totally of paper, downloaded, printed out, cut out and assembled with glue. You can find this motorcycle model and many others as well as models of animals at the following link:

Paper Crafts (origami) | Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.

http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/entertainment/papercraft/index.html

Make your own paper models of motorcycles, rare animals and more.

Have a good day and again, welcome to the forum

Hi Pauline and welcome,

Best of luck with your model bike business. I use to have a nice collection of die-cast bikes made by Polistil, worth buying if you see any for sale as they're worth quite a bit.

Here's my latest "model", a 1:1 scale Suzuki 750!

Welcome Pauline and I wish you well selling the Kits....I am an ex Biker too and like your husband, I sorely regret selling my last bike which I had from Brand New in 1990...A Honda CBR1000-FK....What a bike !!

For real enthusiasm and dedication to Modelling I don't think anyone can beat this bike being built from scratch by ModelMan as posted on this very site, have a look at the link,

An excellent piece of work in progress !!

My 650 TR

I use to own the real thing. So I got a 1:10 white metal kit and built the model with a color scheme that matched. The only differences is, my real one was dirtier, had bailing wire holding the front fender on, and duck tape across the seat, but this is what I wanted it to look like :music_too

Hi Skimodo and a warm welcome to the forum. I think there are a number of motorcycle enthusiasts amongst us, myself included, so you are in good company. Have you had a look at my own motorcycle models in my gallery? Have a look here if you haven't:

http://www.scale-models.co.uk/gallery/browseimages.php?c=3&userid=762

I think I am a bit like your partner in so far as I haven't really grown out of bikes and I have always had them from my very first Raleigh Runabout moped on the stroke of my 16th Birthday, through British bikes such as my 250 Triumph single and BSA Lightning, then on to Ducati's, BMW's and a number of Japanese machines.

I currently have a 800 VFR, pre VVT, owned from new and, for me and the missis a Kawasaki VN900. I love them both but still hanker for another vintage machine such as a 750 Four Honda or one of the first Kawasaki 900's. Stuff my teenage dreams were made of!

Anyway enjoy your time with us, I look forward to seeing some of your bikes.
