Fazer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hi Guys, here is a few WIP of my Manx Norton, I have respoked the wheels with dress maker pins, made new front forks with ali tube, added weld detail to the frame, & detailed the engine with new drive shaft tube to cylinder head with stainless steel tube, added rocker springs, nuts & fasteners, and build my own rear shocks with new stainless shafts when I get some wire. Tank strap made with Stainless steel cable wire wrap & All Primed with matt black . further work to be done on the brakes, handle bars & cables... got a Yamaha VMax underway as well...Mark D 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiesolo Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Looking good so far Mark, great detailing the spokes look really good, sometimes the ones you get just seem so wrong. Si:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Looking good Mark, I think with the amount of work you have already put into this build a look at the rear shock springs (if you haven't already) might be worth your while. The kit items look too extended... For what it's worth, when I started building my kit a few years back (still incomplete) I worked up a set of drawing for PE cylinder fins. I also lost the rocker springs I so lovingly fashioned... One day, I'l get back to it. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastcat Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just came across this thread after seeing the finished article. Great to see the work that went into this project. Knowing the kit you stated with, it's made all the difference. You've turned a poor kit into a fine replica. Great modelling.  Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
