    Morning, afternoon, evening to all wherever in the world you are. Isn't this a fantastic medium of sharing and correspondence! Finally I am able to start putting a few sub assemblies together. Thanks for looking and take care.

    Well, it’s early afternoon here in NE China, @rory, in fact it’s the same time everywhere in China, although it’s a huge country there’s only time zone. I really the work you’re doing, Rory, the colours are amazing, especially the wheels on the stand, it’s coming along very well.

    Morning all, I managed to get some work done this weekend and the exciting assembly stage is happening. Next is to assemble the Detail Up forks... the first time I have used detail parts and the product looks really good, so looking forward to putting them together A few bad photos of my progress are attached. Thanks for looking, take care and have a productive week.

    Thanks George, yes, I have mostly assembled the forks, and what a pleasure! Here she is finally on two wheels albeit the front assembly still needs the top yoke fitted. I need to remove a very small amount of material (probably paint) from the neck of the frame to install the forks properly. Then it is onto all the cables and brake lines etc. Nearly there... 🙂 Thanks for looking and happy modeling.
