Hi all here is the next one.

Looking great.

Omg that is awesome in its incredibleness

I just found this post, what a lucky man you are to have 2 pocher kits the RR Sedanca would be my holy grail of kits. When my missus agreed to let me have the pocher ducati for my 60th birthday I was gobsmacked, unfortunately she would never allow such an expense on a kit again your missus must be an angel.

Great progress this far. Am I envious of course not, grrrrrr

Masking tape and adding a very small amount of black to whatever colour you're using (I use a pipette and add 2 to 3 drops to my airbrush reservoir then just blend upto the masking tape, heavier towards the edge of the masking tape) (I give the area around the masking tape a spray with the base colour first to prevent bleeding) if I'm doing black I add a few drops of blue to the paint and do the opposite I spray from furthest from the masking tape up to it. 

Omg that's incredible 

Well this one is finished now.

Heres another update.

And a comparison between 1/6 and 1/12 (both these bikes are similar size in cc and length)

I do like to do a bit of drawing and the occasional painting.

Next installment 

Hi all I built this twice (I really love the tamiya big bike kits) my second build of it was stolen and posted on Instagram as being theirs by someone called bright logic (not very bright or logical since I had all the original pics and the actual model, they were made to take the post down, full credit to instagram)

Anyway here is the first build of this amazing kit (before anyone says anything I know this was only available in the uk in silver but everyone who knows me by now knows I hardly ever do as per the box or true life)

This is the first dio finished.

Hi all here is the finished article 

I just checked on scalemates and the heller version is a rebox of the mpc one so it's the same kit.

I actually have the heller kit and started it (will have to dig it out maybe we could compare that one to the mpc one, I know it's still not in the same ball park as the tamiya kits)

Yes the tamiya kits are beautifully made I love them.

I was told (not on here) I was insulting the memory of the original dam busters.

Please accept my sincere apologies I would never belittle the achievements of such brave men. 

The bouncing plasma bomb was invented by the brilliant genius kpnuts specifically to destroy the death star (who's design was stolen from kpnuts and corrupted from a creative star to the death star)the original design was for creating planets to inhabit but unfortunately kpnuts added the ability to delete the planet if it was uninhabitable.

The bouncing plasma bomb went on to be refined and become called the smart bomb.

I was annoyed that was both of them for 3.50 I said when the bloke came to collect them I would rather have set fire to them. He did say sorry I didn't think I would get them for that.

Anyway I dont want to hijack Yves post I just thought I would show the size difference.

Another update.

Heres the next installment.

Looks great yves but still something I will never try again.

They are being used to teach NHS workers children (basically to allow NHS working parents to go to work) my son shares it with other teachers going in 1 day a week but he still Mark's students papers on the days hes not working at the school.

These dios were done 2 yrs ago.

That was actually the hardest thing to depict of the whole build. I tried several ways but had to remove them as they just didn't look right, in the end I used some blue nail varnish (my missus not mine honestly) i thinned it right down till it was transparent then used some reds and browns also thinned down to a transparent colour, when done i brushed it all with chrome powder.
