Tamiya 1/6th bikes.

[Stu_davros]

Well after starting these motorbike kits in February I've finally finished the last one.

I bought the kits from a seller at the Yeovilton show for £15 each, they were part started but the work carried out was outstanding and most were limited to assembly of the frames and engines sub-assemblies.

Honda CB1100R:

Yamaha XS1100LG midnight special:

Suzuki GSX100S Katana:

Honda CX500 Turbo:

Group shot:

Cheers,

Excellent stuff. Vroom vroom!

I especially like the close in shot of the CB 1100 R,

Nice metallics & subtle weathering.

Wot, No tax discs?

I shall 'ave to give you a ticket my lad.

Cheers

The bikes look lovely.

Only problem is I remember seeing the Honda CX500 Turbo and the CB1100R (and before that the CB1000R) as brand new 'State of the art' machines walking past the local Honda shop on the way to school, I also remember seeing the CB1000R and the Kat being raced round the UK by Ron Haslam, Wayne Gardner, Joey Dunlop, Reg Marshall......

Getting old...............

Lovely build. I wish i had these real ones especially Honda. I like the way Honda engines rev up.

You lucky man!!!

I have always had a soft spot for the XS1100.

All of them look good.

Nice job.

Lovely collection Stuart, very realistic finishes, they could pass as the real thing.

Good point though, it shouldn't be too difficult to scratch some licence disc holders.

Cheers,
