Great work as always George! I always think it is a pity that all the detail work gets hidden away. Happy Christmas to everybody. I am on leave from tomorrow, so I am hoping to get some concerted modeling done over the next two weeks.

Great idea using the pins, George (@chinesegeorge). I think they look perfect on the motorcycle. I have used them for door knobs on 1/35 scale dioramas. Cheers

@chinesegeorge. That is a fantastic looking bike! Makes me want to smash all mine ;). Nice McLaren too! What treatment do you use on the chain, I like it

Merry Christmas to you as well.

This looks great, George (@chinesegeorge). Your non-painted technique provided some outstanding results. The trick to not painting is to make the plastic not look like plastic, which your finishes techniques have done well. I just noticed that the racing number decal goes overs some really tough areas. Great job getting everything to lay down. Well done.

Great progress, George @chinesegeorge
Leaving the side panels unpainted will do no harm. As you said, the decals will cover most of them and as seen on the McLaren, the outcome will be great.

great work George, and what a pretty bike. I am on leave now and should really be doing some modelimg, but I have taken a few days to catch up with myself after a hectic year. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to you all, George, George Blair, John Cricket and Ian.

Have a great holiday, my friend @rory!

Hi everyone, @fiveten, @johnb, @rory, @bikequeen, @gblair, @kalamazoo, with Christmas done, and we’re into the new year, time to finish off the Pepsi. I’ve added the bits and pieces, and applied the markings, and put it all together.

Just one problem, the windscreen again. No, I haven’t spilt cement on it this time, it’s disappeared. I’m sure I put it back in the box, but when I came to attach it it wasn’t there…….

I’ve searched everywhere and have come to the conclusion that it somehow ended up in the rubbish. I’ve contacted the Fujimi spare parts dept, they were very polite but explained that they no longer held spares for these old kits. The only answer is to buy another kit, use the windscreen, and build it without the “bodywork” so as to display the oily bits, I’ll look out for one at a good price. Or maybe my missing windscreen will appear one day and surprise me. Thanks again for looking. Happy modelling.
