Joel Abery Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 bottom end of the forks out as I have some work to do on them but wanted to show lightning decal on the tank lol. This really is my favourite build and is testing my skills with everything new I try. Thanks for the support my friends. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonky Donkey Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Aw man, those welds on the exhaust are just sweet!! 👏 Now, as you've only gone and painted it in speed blocks, I'm going to have to go for a minute by myself.. W-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's an improvement on v1. 0 (though that was effective too, I thought). W-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Abery Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 keen eyed people will notice the bottom of the forks and how I've moded them(is in previous pics) getting so close to the finish line with what has to be my favourite build. Not hard work if you love what you are doing and you have good people giving nice advice (thanks my friends) I've really enjoyed looking into it and changed my mind mid way because all I've seen are the norm white ones. Bob hurricane Hanna didn't ride this year of bike cc wise but it wouldn't stop some body making a replica as ive seen in photos so I think that gives me license to do so in this build. Thanks again Joel 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Excellent model, so realistic, sometimes I think it must almost be harder to work in larger scales and replicate the original. You've nailed it though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Abery Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 just got myself a new project as well as the F15 restoration. Busy boy I will be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenko Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) I'm well impressed. If you ever get the chance to see the work of a guy called Peter Buckingham; he has the same sort of interests as you but does more vintage stuff you will not be disappointed. I think you can see his work on face book rather than on here. Dick Edited August 29, 2019 by jenko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Abery Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 so I finally got the Yamaha decals from Studio27, worth the wait because I feel it just makes it. Got lucky with my paint work "size wise". I am over the moon how it has turned out I must admit. Thanks again for tips and great support my friends. Will finish and post completed model as soon as possible cheers Joel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Abery Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 so only a couple more decals to make, sort the tires out(clean up mould split line) and make the plinth or diorama base and jobs a done. I've been scratching my head about the plinth or diorama setting so any ideas are very much appreciated and can you see anything I may have missed or can change my friends. Many thanks Joel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
