Title: 1/6 tamiya gsx 1100, mad to the max
Post by: kpnuts on October 30, 2016, 03:05:40 AM: Hi all well as some light relief I'm going to build this, obviously me being me it will look nothing like the box art and will be built as relief from my other builds as and when I feel the need for a break, so build progress will be sporadic, trust me though I don't think it will be recognised as what it is when finished.

Post by: Volkodav on November 01, 2016, 11:11:24 PM: I knew a girl with a 1/1 version in her lounge room and a Yammy R1 in her garage. She was related to a former WSB champion so must have been a genetic factor to it.

Post by: kpnuts on November 05, 2016, 04:06:08 AM: Hi all here is the next update, I've lengthened the rear swingarm, quite pleased with it.

Also dechromed the engine and sprayed it black, lots of weathering to do on this one, going to be quite a challenge as I don't normally do desert weathering.

Post by: kpnuts on November 06, 2016, 04:55:33 AM: Hi all well I've weathered the engine and swing arm, I'm quite pleased with it as I've not done desert weathering before, needs a bit more depth but I think it's a good starting place.

Post by: Old Wombat on November 30, 2016, 11:39:57 PM: The bugger keeps doing that, posting photo's of real bikes & trying to pass them off as models. Cheeky sod! >:D

Great work, mate! As usual! :) :)

Post by: kpnuts on April 22, 2017, 02:44:24 AM: Well I'm well peed off someone called brightlogic has posted this build on YouTube, no mention of me so I assume they're passing it off as theirs, they didn't ask if I was OK with it or not just posted the whole build, there's no area to post comments or I would say something like "oh thanks for posting my build, yes I was very proud of it myself" or something like that, what really pees me off is just not asking.
Here's a link to it
