Had a major stuff up yesterday. It will require some surgery but only after the tears dry up!

Now that's a great start buddy. No wonder you were very silent here.
Can't you give the tank a wash to get some definition on it?
For oil and grease I use this scalemates.com/colors/color.php?id=7668 Perhaps it could be used on your chain?

I've got some of that, ..... somewhere? Tank is unpainted as yet. Just glued, sanded and polished. I am not at all happy with the front of the fairing. More work to fix that! I might try filling with plastic again and letting it sit for a couple of days.

you can do some wash with some oil colors too, take for ever to dry, but you can have any shade you want. and one tube will last for many many mamny models.... be careful with aggressive white spirits (almost eat away my NXR750). For the radiator, you can drybrush in black, and keep the aluminium color in the details. paint in back and do a wash in white for example.
by the way, about washes, i tend to use flory model ones.... impossible to harm the plastic with them. and they can be removed with water if you do not like the result.

I'll 'fess up here, this is one of two to go into the same display case. One with and one without fairings. Both will be clean and polished as in a museum display. I will build and paint two fairings and use the best one. Won't be easy to do as the colours are reversed from what is on the decals.

In short...............Perfection. 👍
All I will say now is...............The decals will be brittle and possibly ready to shatter. Tons of sofftner and don't scrimp. Just load it on and WAIT for it to take effect. Remember your clear glue as a lubricant Peter.
👍 😉

This one is looking great, Peter. If I didn't have so damn many cars to build in my stash I'd run out and grab another bike tomorrow!

Peter. The 'naked' bike approach sounds good. 👍
Looking forward to the images. 🙂

Sometimes when the cover picture stays the same, I forget to browse the pictures. Just looked through these and I have to say I'm very impressed with the improvement of your skills.

Terriffic double build, Peter! How did I miss it?? Did you use real leather for the seat? Looks awesome! Going to follow intently, one of my next projects will be a motorcycle. I might pick up a tip or two 👍 👍

![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
looking really good like this... in pic 57, don't forget to sand the attachment points of the PE-parts... something you see all too often...
14 January 2019, 08:15
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Geeze Bart you had me floundering then! The PE parts are the handle end of glue applicators. The exhaust springs are a HIRO stock generic item and the loop brackets are scratched together.
Alex, the seat "leather" is a vinyl off the shelf self adhesive sheet. I will PM you as I need some help with something and you are the only person in the whole wide world who can assist!
14 January 2019, 08:28

"you are the only person in the whole wide world who can assist" I don't know if I can carry this burden, Peter 😄

Long way to go to sit comfortably under that title Lode. Kez has taught me so much but I have a long way to go. Still tearing up rice paper underfoot! I will make him proud one day though, I am determined to please my Master!

Settle Grasshopper. 😉
Your so far ahead of all of us in so many ways.
I felt it was just your choice of paint that failed you in the finishing department, not your skills. 👍
15 January 2019, 07:49
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
i am sure you are pleasing Kezza already. but there somebody a lot harder to please.... yourself😉
16 January 2019, 10:38
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Still got the hard part ahead. I can't use most of the decals as they are reversed colours. Wayne's bike had blue on top with red fairing panels. Decals are reversed! We will see if I can pull it off or bury it next to the Kawasaki. Time will tell ......
16 January 2019, 10:45
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
where's that like button when you actually could use it for once...
16 January 2019, 10:46
![](/profiles/img/14298-181-s.png)
Peter. PLEASE. Take extra care with these decals, because being as old as they are, they will just shatter if handled too much. Use all the softener you can and wait for it to take effect. I can't implore you enough on this matter.
OR, to protect them completly, spray a diluted coat of 'liquid Decal film' over the whole sheet and let dry.
Then cut the decal away when ready, cutting right up to the coloured edge.
Mine failed misserably, and that was years ago. 👍
16 January 2019, 14:56
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Thanks Kez. The kits are new, the decals are Cartograph but softening them sounds like an excellent idea. I'll give it a try and PM you with any questions. There will be hundreds!
16 January 2019, 18:41
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Thanks Lode! Not a Master anything yet, got some problems to solve but will admit to improving bit by bit. I have some cables on the way for the next bike but I have another "little" build and then back to the Bismarck!
21 January 2019, 10:42
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Thanks Kim, much appreciated. Not many Mates comment on bike builds so yours is appreciated!
21 January 2019, 10:44
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
you are right with the out of scale cables... but otherwise it is a gem.. nice paintwork too so far...
21 January 2019, 12:49
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
Amazing job on those bikes Peter. simply excellent. about the cabling, i can suggest to check finishing shops. they have certain amount of wires, and in colors and various diameters. but you probably know that already.
how did you do the metal binders in the centre of picture 82 (the ones that hold the black pipe going to radiator)? they look real good
21 January 2019, 15:43
![](/profiles/img/14298-181-s.png)
I echo all the mates compliments and comments Peter. 👍
Me lid I tip's. 🙂
As for the kit cables. I used the fine black vinyl tubing that fly fishing enthusiasts use to rig their fly's with. 🙂 As I have done here. 😉

Bart & Kerry, I just happen to be going into town this weekend and I know where a fishing tackle shop is so I will be exploring their stocks!
Laurent, If I can achieve something like you have with your NSR I will be very happy!!
Jimbo, I know you aren't a fan of bikes but you don't have to be to enjoy the visible complexity of building them. The joy is most of the detailing you put effort into stays visible. Thanks for the wrap, appreciate it.
Spanjaard, BMF supplied by KC. I have bought some since but haven't actually used it yet. Kez warned me that there is an 'art' to using it and unfortunately I am not there yet! I still approach with enthusiasm but still feel like a klutz!!! Thanks for the positive feedback, I will surprise you one day with a well built pair of KR 500s!!
21 January 2019, 22:22
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
I wonder what i was thinking when I typed finishing shops, instead of fishing shops 😛
I am sure your KR 500 will be much better than the one I have, no doubt about it.
21 January 2019, 22:32
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Kapow! This is a work of art Peter. Best one yet. More to come, so even more potential for improvement!
22 January 2019, 08:32
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
That's a big call Marty! Too many imperfections in the paint for that but a big step forward for me nonetheless. Should be finished in a couple of weeks if I have a win with painting the fairing!

Awful? Looks good. Maybe a small repair in the blue, but it's not An easy area, but otherwise great work with the tape

![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Chris and Bart, thank you for the positive comments. Getting a bit annoyed with myself with rushing to get a result I think. Welcome along Don, got a seat up here at the front mate, Marty will make a bit of room for you. Go get the Harley, but you'd better get some extra black gloss and chrome to cover your needs!
29 January 2019, 06:13
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Yeah, DD2 is here! Want some beer, nuts?
Pete, sit down and do your exercises. Breathe in, breathe out, puff puff puff! Calm down and fix this thing, we all know you can do it 👍
29 January 2019, 07:03
![](/profiles/img/14298-181-s.png)
Right now, With the extreme heat wave conditions we are experiencing here. Spraying ANYTHING with any sort of paint is dicing with the devil, as most of the atomized pint would be bone dry well before it gets to the model.
Great work so far Peter. 👍
29 January 2019, 08:03
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
I can get it right, that's why I am doing the testing. Been raining all day here and still not a puddle on the ground. The earth is parched! Kez, I'll put a few more pics up tomorrow morning with the Italian red on the seat unit. Lode? Stop pumping my tyres! They will explode soon! 😉
29 January 2019, 10:10
![](/profiles/img/14298-181-s.png)
I have been keeping my eye on the rain fall up there Peter and imagining just how green it will all look soon.👍
Looking forward to the pics mate. 😉
I am on the verge of building the Trumpeter 1/32 F-100D for the nationals in Melbourne. With all the bells and whistles too. 🙂
29 January 2019, 21:19
![](/profiles/img/42364-941-s.jpg)
Can you describe the process of how you did the colors on the pipes in pic #7. That is a very interesting look and great for the bike 🙂
29 January 2019, 21:25
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Kez, if you're going to go, GO BIG! Our "rain" in Moranbah has been a 3 day scotch mist. No puddles on the ground but things are getting green. It'll burn off when the sun comes out though. Back to the four year drought!
Chris, the pipes have been painted entirely with Alclad II lacquers.
ALC-414 Sepia with no black base. It would be too shiny with a base.
ALC-411 Red
ALC-413 Blue
ALC-417 Violet
Each colour must have time to harden or it will blend with what's already there. Not what you want so in short, patience is required.

Do they get that hot inside????? This might be more appropriate. alclad2.com/finishes..alc-405-black-smoke/

![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Exhaust gasses for a modern diesel reach 600 Celsius. Not sure about the heat requirement for generating super heated steam. AND the resulting cool down up to the funnel.
Wouldn't the paint on the exterior peel off as well?
29 January 2019, 22:18
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Wikipedia'd this. Firebox temp is approximately 2500C Superheater is approximately 1300-1600C. Haven't found exhaust temperatures yet. Temps are a bit higher than I imagined!
29 January 2019, 22:28
![](/profiles/img/42364-941-s.jpg)
Cool... and must be a difficult technique.... I'm blown away 🙂
30 January 2019, 00:10
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Martin and Lode, I am pretty sure that the temp at the top of the funnel would be still hot but doubt it would be that hot to discolour the metal. If it was I doubt gunners would be manning gun mounts attached to the funnel.
Thomas, thanks for the encouragement mate. I have some issues as a builder which I am still to beat but some new skills are coming through. I hope I will one day be up there with you and KC!
DD II. If it isn't black it isn't a Harley. There aren't many Harley kits around so the choice is limited. I'm not a Harley fan but have a Road Train Driver here that wants me to build him one.

![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
My own worst critic maybe but so many many problems with what I thought would be simple reversal of colours! Too much handling of the model and too much damage with glues. But, .... 🙂

So true! Started cutting out the HONDA from the blue background tonight. Won't know how I went until the decal starts sliding off the backing paper.

After my extensive experience building Honda bikes (yes, the one), I can only say that I'm once more very impressed by your bike building skills Buddy. Sometimes a bit of stumbling improves the walking abilities. First walk, then run 🙂 You are running quite fast 👍

Looking good mate, looks like you got fuel in your fuel lines from the top of the tank in pic 107 or am I mistaken and my eyes deceive me.👍
15 February 2019, 06:04
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
No, your not being deceived. I have either been soaking clear tube in 2stroke mower fuel for 3 months or I bought some brown tube. Can't remember which! Lode, put your glasses on then look!

thumbs up for the Honda cutting... becoming a real masterpiece. Haven't seen it in the other pictures, but one of the coolers in front has a mold-line which is rather prominent, the other one seem to have it removed (pic 65/107/108)

![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Bart, yep you caught me! I decided not to redo it because it will be behind the fairing. It is prominent though. No one in this house will give it anymore than a casual glance and a cursory "Yes, very nice dear, will you take the rubbish out now please"? Why I live and die on things like his I dunno, unless you are a modeller you wouldn't actually notice! What I have struggled with on this build is excessive handling of the model and wearing the paint.
Thanks Kez, I'll google the brand and buy in some stocks! I also thought I'd look for some braided line. I did buy some Tamiya product but it was way oversized for bikes.

That's alright Pete, I was reading my online news articles this morning and there was one particular article I thought humorous, the headline read a tourist wanted to know the way to DRIVE from Sydney to New Zealand. You could read the article to get the directions and meet up with old Jimbo.😢
16 February 2019, 03:23
![](/profiles/img/33079-346-s.jpg)
Not a bad idea Mick. I'll take the company fourby just in case there is a water crossing along the way. Don't want to take the Patrol over there. It'd probably get stolen. Wanna come along and drink Jimbo's beer?
16 February 2019, 04:11
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Would be a nice trip. Can someone send me some directions as well? already have been to the Original zealand many times. The new one could be interesting😉

Yeah shore mate, why not, I'm always up for an adventure, besides the more of us Aussie's at his place the quicker we'll go through his beer. Hear that Jimbo, you'd better start stocking up we're on our way.😄

Martin, just go to the beach and turn left. I'll be down that way somewhere.
I was over there a year ago for my honeymoon. Watched a bloke pour a bottle of Alka Seltza down a hole in the ground and all this water came spewing out. He called it a geyser. Think I'd rather have just stayed in Auckland and had a beer with Jimbo.

You should be very happy with what you have done with these two beautiful kits. If you photoshoped these in the pits down at Phillip Island I'd swear they'd look the real deal. Well done mate, no more complaining from you how your not a top notch modeler, your up there with the best.👍👍👍

Thanks Jimbo!!
Kim, let me know how the Meng kit works out, it looks interesting. Did you get the pre painted or the unpainted kit? Happy to encourage someone to try building a bike. They are so visible! You can't hide a flaw!!
Oh stop it Kerry, I'm all embarrassed! I want two sets of hands, two brains and two workspaces so I can build MORE kits! I LOVE MY HOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how long it will be before we see his son, Remy Gardner's Moto2 bikes appear on the scene. !
The clones of Wayne's Honda's look spectacular Peter, even with the small incidents, they don't demean the result at all. 👍 😉
