Love it! Fantastic imagineering.

Good start, I'll be following this one.

Great build and detail! Nice snout on the blower. Did you lay down the graphics?

Gorgeous, the wheels really look great.

This was started 7-8yrs ago. I had heavy modified the chassis, I had used the engine set up from the Matt and Debbie Hays Thunder Bird. Over the years I revisited it a couple of times, I ended up getting too picky on what and how I was going about the mods, somewhere along the build I lost my way. Upon my final attempt to finish it I decided it was going to take WAY too much work to get it where I wanted it. So out came the motor and tranny. The body will need lots of filling and sanding before the painting imagination starts to take hold. This is how it started life. The last pic is the paint colours that will be used, still working out the layout. I will be using some type of fabric media as a stencil pattern.

Thanks DB.

Ah, I did misunderstand, thanks for clarifying that. ??.

Thanks Mike, that is what I did, less the separate blue masking. I will definately try the suggestions you guys have put up here and work towards a method that works for my style. I use a mix of latex and tape when building. Thanks guys for input on this.

Cool, I dig the bomb gas tank, those exhaust pipes sure would be loud, nice weathering over all.

Thanks Jon. I used .4mm masking tape from Hiroboy. I can post up some WIP photos here if you'd like.

Thanks very much Dale, Richard. I did think about that Richard, thought it might have been too much.

Another great build.

Top notch all the way through.

Beautiful! Really dig the engine detail.

Great looking build, that paint is fantastic. The wheels are awesome, and yup the tire's look much better.

Thanks for the compliment. Yup that is paint, done with .4mm masking tape. Thanks, it does kinda look like snake skin doesn't it. Just lace fabric that happened to turn out that way, not my intention. Thanks to all of you for the kind words.

Absolulty beautiful build.

Thanks Jesus and Bob.

Thanks Mark for taking the time to read and respond to my question. The breakage you see is not from pulling up the tape, it started breaking off as I was wet sanding. I will try your suggestion.

Thanks Greg, I will post more. Doug, totally miss it.

Thanks Doug, good old Coquitlam. I used to spend a lot of time in North Van/Whistler riding.

Thanks fellas.

Thanks John. Thanks Mike, the clear is used to seal the edges of the mask to prevent bleeding.

Nice, I like the dio too.
