Hi all here is an update on this. My first of several problems I can forsee coming up The carb inlet openings are blanked off as they normally wouldn't normally be seen, as they are inside the airbox, os I've had to open them also since the cable are not connected I have to show the inner cables and the nipples on the ends of those, think I've opened a can of worms here, we will have to see what else crops up.

It's called "UAMS" - Unintentional Advanced Modellers' Syndrome (that state in which every decision leads to an increase in detailing required until too much has been done to stop now).
Really beginning to look "WOW!" :icon_surprised:

Hi all as I said opened a whole bag of worms, of course with no tank or seat on the wiring loom would be visible, advice please does this look convincing ( obviously there would be loads more wires really but I don't have any thinner wire to hand and I don't want the loom to get too thick)
I realise I need to add the copper connectors to the end of the wires, and I realise the wires should be wrapped in black insulating tape, also the loom would not be tied with string, this I purely to check if its worth using this method.

It looks great! :)
But, if you want more wires, what sort of thickness is the copper in the wires you're using? If the strands are thick enough, you could bundle them up & paint them appropriately. ???

Tools and grease/oil rags! Come on, play fair!!

Hard to tell the frame is not real size in some of the pics, the weathering is spot on !! The wire harness looks convincing, just needs to be black IMO.

Thanks guys, these kits really are a joy to build.

That looks more real than most of the real bike bits in my dads shed, apparently there are the makings of four complete bike in there. This we can tell what it is and it looks great.

Hi all here is an update on this one, thanks to a friend he sent me some networking wires which are half the thickness of telephone wires, I am now happy with the wiring loom, I dipped the ends in clear bathroom sealant for the plastic insulation over the ends of the copper connectors also I used flattened soldering wire for the cable ties to the frame.

Toooooo darn good :o
Must be photoshop of 1/1 kit.

Hi all here is the latest update on this kit, I had a couple of errors pointed out to me, one of them blindingly obvious the rear sprocket should be on the rear wheel so I've sorted that and of course the tank filler hole should be taped up to hide the bit you are supposed to attatch it to the bike with(not there on the real bike)

now I know the qverall size of the bike I am going to try and build one of those bike ramps you see in workshops nowadays.

Hi here is a small update on this
obviously these exhaust flanges would not have the lge locating flange on the back they would be a sliding fit over the down pipes and would pull the downpipes up by the flange on the downpipe, so they needed drilling out.

Look here, enough is enough! If you are going to continue to take photos of real world, full size workshops and try to pass them off as scale models we will have to consider revoking your membership! ;)

Hi all on the last leg with this one, the bike itself is nearly finished, I am attempting to scratch a compressor, which of course would then involve trying to scratch a 1/6 spraygun, still trying to make convincing socket set(you may notice I've made the socket wrench) definitley on the last leg though (may have to make some shelving for the stuff that's laying around on the floor, it looks a very messy workshop which would fail any health and hygiene inspection.
