Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hello, Thought I'd try something new for this post. Here's my Tamiya Africa Twin, finished apart from the Honda badges (which are still giving me grief!). Finished in Dark Mica Blue with Light Gun Metal on the rims. Painted with a mixture of Tamiya TS and acrylics, with a splash of Alclad II and Mr Metal Color. Only added extra was the Tamiya chain set. Hope you like it. My first big scale bike and an awesome kit! EDIT: Click on the image for the video - need to figure out how to embed the video directly!

stevehnz Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I like. It really does look as though you could throw a leg over it & the back of beyond is in your sights. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 15 hours ago, Caution Wake Turbulence said: Now with added YouTube: Andrew, Absolutely STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. It's a real beauty and very artistically and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. What better Eye Candy than this IMMACULATE Honda.. I can see one riding this thru the mountains of Stellenbosch with the scenery flying by. The video presentation is IMPECCABLE as your build. And it looks SO real that I forgot I was looking at a model. KUDOS .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Thanks Houston, really glad you like it! Now I just need to decide what to build next.... Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 WOW Andrew an absolutely stunning build with an amazing presentation using the video. That could almost be taken for an official Honda promo. I wonder if Tamiya will do the latest Adventure version, or parts for it. Great to see another bike build in this section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Looks good, but I really need to stop buying kits (for a while at least).... Made a start on something sort of wingy from the stash (although to be honest it's not been in the stash for very long!). Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Finally finished the badges and took some more photos.
