@gblair - Thanks George, there are a lot of metallics. I've been using Model Master Chrome Trim Enamel for the finer chrome parts. It's got a much finer metal flake than Tamiya's X-11.
That's a very cool idea... I may have to look into modeling Marc Marquez.

You impressed us once more, Brian @brithebuilder
The detailing on this Honda is superb, and those wire ties are indeed amazing.

Ah, but we know the details are there even if we cannot see them, that’s what makes a real iModeler, @brithebuilder.

After installing the muffler guard, the pipe was oddly out of alignment. I decided it was too much and it needed a bit of heat gun action to adjust it without putting too much strain on any glue joints. Definitely scary but it worked out quite well.

@johnb - Thanks John, I couldn't handle the way it was sticking out at the odd angle.

Looking superb, my friend @brithebuilder! Love the orange!
Excellent job on the exhaust angle, you are a brave man working with the heat gun to the model!

Your progress is great, Brian @brithebuilder
The orange looks indeed amazing on this bike, as a Dutch person I do have to love orange as well.

Wonderful work Brian @brithebuilder. Your attention to detail is fantastic!
