HONDA CB750 Four K0 by yvesvidal - TAMIYA 1/6 and MPC 1/8
kpnuts replied to yvesvidal's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
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.

Collingwood it's a gsx in the background one of 2 versions I built (like the honda I intend to post both builds on here at some point)

Thanks yves

Last update.

Hi all this is completely different to anything I've done before 2 yrs ago my son bought me 4 1/72 WW1 airfix kits for my birthday (which is in October) (never bought me this type of kit before as he knows it's not my genre) I thought it was strange but said thanks and tried to look excited with them (among them were 2 WW1 planes, planes are my nemesis I've never built one I've been happy with) My son is head of history at his school and casually dropped into the conversation it would be nice if I could put them in a diorama to commemorate the end of the war that he could display at his school. That gave me less than a month. After some research (which was more than my son did I realised I couldn't put all 4 kits on the same dio) I decided to do 4 dios at different times of the year and different places. I asked him how graphic I could get and he told me he had shown pics of the worst of the war to his students so nothing I could produce could be worse. Heres the start.

Omg that's detail I would never undertake (I replaced the spokes on a 1/12 Bentley and swore I would never do it again, admittedly that was 5 wheels) A great start. -
Thanks for the compliments

Hi all this will be built as the little known 617 squadron. I know in the film some bloke called Luke skiver or something like that was supposed to have been the hero but the real heroes were 617 squadron they didn't use the force they used something called the bouncing plasma bomb

I'm in. -
Another update.
-
Memory no pics of the actual bike unfortunately (come to think of it the only bike I ever had pictures of was my Triumph oh and the absolutely awful 500 Cagiva River what a complete dog of a bike dont know why I have pictures of a bike I would love to forget, i was once easily passed by a 250 MZ and i had the throttle wide open)( having said that the thing would have pulled a caravan)
-
I was basing it on my actual bike.

Heres another update.
-
I added a few to the engine.
-
The tamiya 1/6 and 1/12 bikes are incredible kits especially the 1/6 ones I've built the 1/4 pocher Ducati but the price is the biggest thing about that kit
-
Hi all here is the next WIP I decided to give it opening gull wing doors so that was my first task.
-
Thanks guys glad you're liking it spent most of my life on bikes so I got to know how they looked in various states from pristine to real dogs (I've owned all states at one time or another) my last and favourite bike was a triumph 900 trophy (made to get rid of it 2 yrs ago by my missus "you're getting to old to be playing with bikes" was an often repeated verse of hers however when one of her friends sons was killed on his she put her foot down)) Anyway here is another update.

When I lived at home my mum was great she even let me strip my honda cx500 engine in my bedroom, that is until I dropped it and made a hole in the floor.
