Two Wheeled Vehicle Group Build

Very nice build. The engine really stands out. Well done.

Wow, looks great!
If I didn't know better, the darkened background of your bench could be your garage

Thank you

Dude...just noticed you posted this... great minds and all that...did not mean to steal yer thunder bud. Have you made any progress on yours?

No, I haven't received it yet. I'm glad you got one going, enjoying the change up you're doing to yours. I have a scheme I'll try when and if I get to build it before everyone here finishes...lol.

This is the look I am kinda going after.

Are you going with a colour shift paint ?

Got to say these tamiya decals are nice but very thick and an absolute pain in the butt to wrap around some of the curves.

It's taken 4 nights to do the tank and most of Sunday to do half the seat....... and alot of micro sol. Pantherman

Also have decided to respray the bottom bodywork as just not as blue as the decals. Also noticed a slight seam line..... it will never be seen as it will be on the bottom underneath the bike but now I know it's there it will bug me. Pantherman

It won't be a color shift exactly. I have a little technique I use that kind of gives the illusion of a color shift, but adds a different kind of depth and effect. We'll see how it looks before I reveal it...lol

Looking awesome, and yes a dead give away. I smoked those damn things for over 30 years, but I'm so glad I've been quit for the last 14 years.
