Oh my God Kerry, that is freaking AWESOME! I just went through the album four times, and, will go through it four more! Did you do that for a comp? Just sensational!!!!!!!

Hi guys. 🙂
I ended up feeling pretty happy with my effort, and as I had a couple of other kits of bikes I had built, I thought, 'Why not', and I got gold with all three. !!! Those being the Honda RC116 six cylinder I did all I could to with copper wire replicating all the 'tie ends' on all parts that usually fell of in a race unless they were wired in place, sitting on a 'work bench'. And a 'see through' NSR 500 with the pipes under the riders chest and the fuel tank slung on metal straps under the motor to lower the centre of gravity.
I can post them if you like. 🙂
I am. MOST grateful for you compliments and appreciation. Many thanks. 👍

Timothy. I am pleased you like it mate. But I tell you what. I am really impressed with your "Tamiya Figures" scalemates.com/profi..bums&album=35498 thinking that your work is part of a "Red Ball" convoy, heading for the front. 🙂

This is so good!!! Im a much bigger motorcyclist than modeler, and I honestly was more interested in going through this album analyzing every picture than I was when the Panigale press shots came out. Excellent work

Love to see the Honda six Kerry. I am squirrelling some pennies away for one as we speak. I had forgotten that the NR500 had the low CofG experiment. Honda had (here he goes with the trivia drivel again) reassigned some formula 1engineers to the bike development and they decided that if it works in formula 1 then it would be good for everything. Of course all you bike riders out there know that a perfect handling bike needs it's weight in the centre of it's vertical and longitudinal geometry to handle well. So the NR handled like a pig!
Konrad would like to see Daisy Duke on the Ducati, in the shorts!

The LCOG is why the BMW's are so good as a touring machine. All piston movement torque is dissipated sideways , and that huge fly wheel and wheels gyro effect helps with long curve cornering.

I am tickled pink with all the positive comments guys. It sure is fun having so many mates that like what you do. 🙂 👍

Well, I for one have yet to be convinced that you are not in fact simply a well-heeled inventor of a "Honey I Shrunk the Kits" ray with an extensive garage full of collector-grade cars and bikes that has some perverse need to troll those of us who work with plastic to realise our delusions of grandeur...

It's amazing all the tech that goes into things now! all the little details do add up to something. Kerry, I'm not sure when I'll get back to my convoy Dio, I've been smitten by 1/16th cars lately. Not to mention putting Daisy under the bonnet of the General Lee! Pics to come shortly, mainly for that other mate that lives near you! LOL

He doesn't use the stuff Greg. He rubs the parts until they are warm and pliable and then uses a mind meld with the parts to bond them. That's my theory anyway. Until he proves me wrong I reckon he's cheating!! On the other hand, your "Honey I shrunk the kids ray" theory has merit!

WOW. LOL. What can I say. You got me, and I have to confess. 🙂
I pre order the kits that have the glue already applied and I just lick the areas when ready and. BINGO. All done.
In truth, I use a liquid cement that all railroad modellers use that dries in seconds and bonds like steel, and, it's 'clean'.

So... licking the glue is the secret... I'll try that and see how it goes...😎

I'm sure Kerry is laughing now waiting to see how many window lickers try his glue theory!

LOL. I was sniffing it before then, and wow, didn't my builds look good, like looking through a thin slice of onion. hahahahaha 🙂 🙂 🙂

But strangely enough. The clear water soluble paper glue I use on my clear parts I have licked to remove any excess, only because cotton tips leave fluff behind that makes the join really look bad. 🙂 👍

So what you're saying is that glue licking does lead to window licking? LOL

Tim. 🙂 In a word. YES. LOL I must look the strangest person holding a model up to my mouth licking away bits of squeezed excess glue. hahahahahaha. "Quick fellas, lock him up for his own sanity." hehehehe 🙂

Peter. No Armourall' used on tyres or any other part mate. They have actually been cleand off with acetone to remove that shiny film of separation agent from when they were moulded.
Why. ?
Do they look different from what road tyres look like before being used on the roads. ? Mmmmmmm :-/

Hey no land mines here Mate! I've not built a bike before and why reinvent the wheel? If Kerry knows, then Kerry might give up the secret! Acetone eh? I'll have to see what I can find in this little country town.

Struth! Now I am nervous. Just got your PM. I will reply later today. The Woman Who MUST Be Obeyed is thumping at the door of the toilet. Reckons she isn't going to wait for the fallen tree to break down over millenia and I have to go to the dump.

Is that why you left the continent to avoid mowing Martin's metre square lawn?
