Hi all here is todays little bit.
I decided to do an experiment  I've stuck a bit of foil on the tank and I'm hoping that when ive put the top coat on when I scratch through it it will look like the metal of the tank showing through.


also I'm trying to show the buleing effect on a chrome exhaust

These are great. I love the fact that you're doing them in a realistic "used" condition rather than showroom perfect. :)

I've been following this and I'm just amazed - they really do look like 1:1 scale motorcycles. Great work!

Hi all I know you were expecting this finished tonight but I am sitting here with such a stiff neck I can hardly move, it's been coming on the last couple of days, hopefully tomorrow but if it gets any worse I doubt I will get out of bed
