Mumbly Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Hi all, final pictures on this one. I used this a way to try some ideas, and am happy with the result. The kit is showing its age, but is still really a typical Tamiya kit. Thanks Tony 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 On the positive side, that's a gorgeous model. On the constructive criticism side - you need to build and show more bikes because that one is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigeG Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Cracking job, I really like the fairing displayed like that. I don’t think I dare take a saw to one of mine for fear of messing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Aoshima Z1 that I have half done as a cafe racer that is getting it’s rear wheel spoked currently, I am going to do a WIP on my method. 22 minutes ago, NigeG said: Cracking job, I really like the fairing displayed like that.

I look forward to seeing the Z1, the Aoshima models are reather nice. Not quite Tamiya, but lovely models. I am sure there are many of us fellow bike builders who will enjoy your WiP on spoking wheels too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep seeing those spoke kits on eBay and still not clicked BUY. love to see how it’s done in miniature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmas is close Yes, it is the fine craft saws photo etched Tamiya 74094 They fit in their craft knife handle, and probably fit an x-acto type handle too. I wish I had these earlier as they are very thin, so take minimal material away with the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no expert, it is only the 2nd one that I have done this on (the first being the front wheel ). I have looked at the kits on ebay as well, they do save loads of time as the cutting of the spokes and nipples (ohh er) and bending takes the time. Once all the prep work is done the putting it together is quite easy. Also, compared to car spokes, they are in 2 halves and a repeated pattern. Car spokes are another level. 5 hours ago, Ian T said: Very nice indeed!! 🏍🏍 Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
