We've all had the same experience with this awful kit, although I have another on the shelf, only because I've wanted a real one since I don't know when! But you have made a great job of it, well done!

Nice Metro Van. I built one of those last year.

Awesome!

A few.. I apologise if they are a bit decal heavy!

Yes he said but as soon as spring appeared he had to get off of there as the ground became too soft to drive on!

Well great photo's Dan! Our eldest son lives in Calgary, I'll have to ask him if he was there, as he hasn't sent any photo's across the pond! The first white car was either a Lancia or an early Bristol. What was the odd shaped car in front of the dark blue Lancia? Did you get a photo of it at all?

Wow! Groovy! Our eldest son ran his 6 litre pick-up with a fifth wheel and extendable side camper trailer on the Canadian tundra, servicing 'Nodding Donkey's' some years ago.

Nice one! Really good. Being in the UK I'd never seen one of these before.

Wicked? Yes!

I've seen that over the Le Mans circuit when I've been there for the 24 hour race.

Thanks guys.

Thank you all for your input. Unfortunately I'm in the UK, so things to do with detailing any model is in very short supply. I've been able to mount two cables at present from the brake levers down to the brake calipers on the front forks. These were by using mini drills and brass/copper wire and the kit plastic tubing. I hope to add the rear brake caliper and various other small tubing on the frame today.

Hi Jim, the kit is 1/9th scale. I have opened out the plastic tubing with a cocktail stick and doing one front caliper, on the other side I opened out the tubing, it fitted the handlebar/brake lever end but at the caliper end the nib broke off straight away. I will try to drill drill though the caliper and add a piece of wire then attach the tubing over that. As per Daniel's suggestion.

Thanks Daniel, good idea. It's a shame that the kit is nearly finished but I can certainly use your idea for the next one, thanks very much.

Thanks Brian. The Lego kits certainly make us think!

Thanks guys. Yes I always look for something different, rather than the same old thing.

Superb work! How do you get the cables on and keep them on please?

Great builds! I'm still trying to wire up bikes. How do you get the cables on and keep them on please?

Superb! This was one of my first VW van builds, some 20 or so years ago!

How do you get the cables on and to stay on please?

How do we fit motorcycle cables? The tubing always seems to be far too small/and or the nibs on parts like the brake calipers are way too big. Do we heat the end of the tubing in hot water?

Superb build! Very impressed to see the carbon moulded finish, the first kit I've ever seen that used.

Brilliant stuff!

Another Bentley Bentayga this time in Arctic White, so that's three. White, Dark Green and Dark Grey.

Super pich-up kit! I wish we could find these in the UK, and the manufacturers produce some relating to the latest Craftman's trucks.
