That's a very clever solution to a problem we all have. Nicely done.
I have a pair of those Detolf glass cabinets and they're holding up pretty well. I do need to add more shelves at some stage, but that's a battle for later...

Very well done, indeed!

Splendid result from an old kit.
I built one of these back in the 70s, although it got painted a shiny aluminium instead of OD. I remember the Shep Payne leaflet, too. Sadly both kit and leaflet are long lost to the dusts of history...

Yep, what Andy said. That be the one.

Very, very cool.
Having done a stop-motion animation movie, I know exactly how much work is required. Hat's off to you, sir!!

Stunning work - and a faithful replication of Shep's original diorama.
I had that same kit as a youngster, and remember the 4-page booklet very well. All long since lost over the years, of course.

That's quite the wall hanging! Any other memorabilia knocking about?
It did look good, for sure. No other memorabilia kicking around, aside from my own bike & gear. Not certain where the screen is now, sadly.

That's a work of art.

There used to be an airshow in NZ called 'Warbirds over Wanaka' (or something similar), no idea about when it's scheduled - or if it's even running anytime soon.
Can't speak for Avalon, but I've heard it's a pretty big event. Seems to be every two years (well, pre-CV19, anyway), but again, no idea if/when it will be back.
I will point out that Oz is big. Perth to Sydney is a 4 hour flight, and NZ is a further 4 hours again.

Fantastic work. The painting & detailing is excellent.
FWIW, we used to have a windscreen from Sete's bike hanging on the lounge-room wall. (Donated by the pit-crew to my partner at the time, who was part of the medical team for the Oz GP that year. It was autographed by Sete, too.)

Looks fantastic!
One very small nit-pick - where's the battery retaining strap? Looks to me like a hard right-hand turn and the battery will slide out of the tray...

Amazing work! Well done, indeed.

Space:1999? I was thinking 'Discovery' from 2001 and either a Viper from Battlestar Galactica or the Liberator from Blake's 7.

Excellent work!!
As someone else noticed - the chain tensioner adjuster lock-nuts are in the wrong spot, and aside from the over-sized screw heads here and there you'd be hard pushed to realise it was a kit.

As everyone else has said, that's a stunning piece of work.

What everyone else has said - a magnificent piece of work!

The weathering is subtle and not "over the top" like you sometimes see.
Excellent work!

What a ripper!
Certainly a lot more interesting than the red Ducatis that you see everywhere!
-
"Average modeler"??? Nope, you are most certainly not that!!
Hot damn, that looks the business.

Lovely work - simple and understated markings. Well done!

Absolutely stunning....

Damn, that looks good. Very well done, sir!
(Anyway, what's wrong with a Dunkelgelb Ducati??? 😜🙃🙂)

Japan model shops
in Travel
Posted
Just got back from 4 weeks in Japan with the GF (our long-delayed trip that was supposed to happen in 2020). We spent about 45 minutes in Akihabara - I dashed into the Yellow Submarine shop to get some Gaia Notes paint that I can't get down here in Oz (and in hind-sight, should have bought a lot more of them) and picked up a cool Godzilla figure kit from the small shop on the 4th or 5th floor that sells stuff movie-related items such as Godzilla / Ultraman / Evangelion robots.
Andy - still haven't forgotten your list of hobby shops, but I think CV19 put a stop to a lot of the smaller family-run places. The one in Kofu (Royal Model) closed down after the owner's wife died and Yodobashi moved into town.
Cheers,
