I have bin stalking this site fore months and just bought me some kits and this is the first one i built. First lesson learned chrome parts are fragile and hard to keep then looking good.
It is all built and the base paint is on there but i want to weather it and make it look like its being ridden, I don't like shine bikes because i believe bikes should be ridden note stored in garages.
I was thinking about doing a diorama With this traveling Dude sleeping under a tree it is a bit too big and I don't have that much space where I live, I am doing this on the living room table because the wife is away
but I am working on an portable work bench that I can store under the bed.
I haven't decided if I am going to putt decals on it but there came some with the kit.
I am sort of lost in how i should continue and would be very thankful fore some tips.
I am thinking should i put clear gloss paint on it or maybe that future stuff, before I whether it (can anybody tell me where i buy that in the uk?).
Can I use my paint to weather it with dry brushing or highly thinned out paint, I use Revel enamel paints. I don't have an airbrush so I need to do all this with a brush.
Humm maybe I should put these questions in the painting topic...
This is a first build In many years an I did not do many of these when i was a kid so pleas be gentle hehehe

The number plate fell off


I have done some touch up on the paint work but this is pretty much how it is at the moment.
I haven't done any thing on it for a month I am working on another build at the moment that I will post later one.
Hope you like it
God bless
