uniongoon Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) I am 44 yrs old, new to the site. My son builds alot of trucks, I ride bikes, and am trying to get through a long hard winter. I have not touched a model since I was about 13 and decided to give it a shot, here is my start. First time with an air brush too. Clear coat did not flow too well, should I be thinning it? I am using Tamiya paint products. Here is my full size bike Edited March 6, 2008 by uniongoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real bike doesn't look to shabby either. Keep us posted on your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniongoon Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thanks for all the reply's. Have not had time to touch it, work has been too busy. But will finish it off soon, then I have 1/72 Hobby Craft Avro Arrow that has been sitting unopened on a shelf for two years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
