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.

Hi all first steps, can you see where I'm going with this.

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.

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.

Hi all started the frame.
I really do love these kits.

Weathering is excellent, btw! :)

GREG, HE'S DOING IT AGAIN!!!

He needs to stop photo-shopping real bikes & pretending they're scale models!

Hi all here is the next bit, done the front forks, can't decide whether to use the headlight fairing or not, if I do i will add more spikes to it, what do you think fairing or not

Old Wombat · « **Reply #17 on:** November 18, 2016, 06:21:38 AM »

Yeah, go with the fairing, looks a bit odd without it. :)

CiTrus90 · « **Reply #18 on:** November 19, 2016, 12:40:51 AM »

+1 for the fairing :)

kpnuts · « **Reply #19 on:** November 19, 2016, 02:59:25 AM »

Hi all here's another update on this.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #20 on:** November 19, 2016, 10:44:33 PM »

Seriously, mate! When are you going to stop taking photo's of a real bike & passing them off as a scale model?

kpnuts · « **Reply #21 on:** November 20, 2016, 01:48:27 AM »

Anyhoo here is the next bit.

kpnuts · « **Reply #22 on:** November 25, 2016, 04:22:46 AM »

Hi all well I've got the forks round the right way and added the foot pegs and a few other ancillary devices on the last leg now.

kpnuts · « **Reply #23 on:** November 30, 2016, 04:09:51 AM »

Hi all well it's finished.

finsrin · « **Reply #24 on:** November 30, 2016, 12:47:42 PM »

Tricky tricky,,, started off with a good looking model build.
But now,,, for final pictures musta posted those of your nasty 1/1 real bike used as guide for the model.
