Did some work on the engine, its been dropped this side, should I give the other side the same treatment or is that going to far, mine was only dropped on one side but I am sure they have been both sides.
Thanks yep these 1/6 bikes are down right awesome the detail is spot on, and they go together so easy a half blind bloke in handcuffs couldn't do a bad job of them.
Thanks Stray really peed off sprayed the tank, had it glued to piece of stick layed it on my table hanging over the end to dry came home dinner time and it had fell off the stick and onto the carpet, (insert swear words here)
hope a coat of varnish will hide it, what do you think.
Well I am gobsmacked went in to work today and I was expecting Rolf to offer about 50 quid for the Bentley well he must really like it because he asked how much I spent on it and I told him, with the figures and extras about 130 quid and he gave me,,, I can see it in my hand but still don't believe it 260 quid yes that's right 260 then asked was that enough
Well its out of the spares drawer and put together again. My missus told my boss it was finished and she told her husband so he insisted on seeing it, I told him I was not at all happy with it but he insisted so I fixed it up and showed him, he loved it as did my boss he wants to buy it, I don't know what to charge so have left it to him, he asked how much the kit was and said he will have a think and decide how much. That's fine by me as whatever he pays will go towards another kit.
Hi all I have decided to put this in the spares drawer as I can see lots of uses for the parts in other dios. Thanks for following along with the build and taking the time to look
It certainly is, another British icon I was hoping it would detract from the rubbish build, so it seems it had the desired effect, I was going to try a reflect a London bus or a taxi in the window too but I thought that would be to much.
Hi all, well finally I'm calling this finished.
I know it's a bit of a let down and a bit disappointing, but its not down to the kit, its down to my modeling, so there it is, I cant do any better so I should be happy with it but i'm not.
Hi all another update, not long left on this build.
The trouble with all the sprues being in one bag together is that when they knock against each other bits fall off the sprue and you end up with a box full of loose bits. I have discovered that one of the mud guard stays is missing so have had to make one, being a reverse of the one I have it was quite confusing to do but I have managed.
also don't like the mesh over the lights so put some real mesh on them
Ben I have to say no, I wish I had just used the kit wheels all that hard work and patience, I've seen the kit built with the kit wheels (admittedly he spent a while cleaning them up) but his wheels imho look better than mine.
