morty_3333 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Hi There! I would like to post up this build, done by my Wife Lisa,this is Her third Tamiya 'Big Bike', and the first one on which She has done all the work Herself (incuding Airbrushing), with just a little sideline 'chirping in' from Me, Paint used were Tamiya acrylics and de-canted Halfords cans for the coulour and lacquer:- ...and Her two other buils, a Honda Monkey Bike and a Harley Lowboy:- ......She's now got Her eye on My Pocher Alfa Spider......... Thanks for looking in! Cheers, Pete and Lisa P.S. Pete was very patient and sometimes a little frustrated but a brilliant tutor!!

BeastieBoy73 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Amazing looking build! How did you paint the wheels? I have a IMAI Harley to build and that too has black wheels with silver detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa x Dear Lisa... Your Peter has been a frequent and kind visitor to my Rolls-Royce. But I am here because your work stands on its own merit. Tremendous and meticulous build of a lovely bike - several in fact. Great work for one who claims to need tutoring. Of greater interest to me is the hint that you have aspirations to pilfer 'his' Alfa and have a go. PLEASE DO SO; there are many of we big-scale builders here for help, tips and advice. You don't have to rely on just one local tutor... Looking forward.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you paint the wheels? I have a IMAI Harley to build and that too has black wheels with silver detail. Dear Beastieboy73, Lisa used a paint marker,in this instance a Pilot Super Color:- http://www.tigerpens.co.uk/pilot-super-color-silver-metallic-marker-pen-sc-ef-f-m-b?utm_source=google_shopping&156=528&168=388&aid=11520&gclid=CNTvzrOK5dQCFWix7Qodd6cM5g A range of tip sizes are to be found in the drop-down. Used to use Tamiya paint markers, but they seem harder to get hold of now..... Cheers, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
