Global Scale Modeller

Hi guys! I'm Luke a 27 year old from South Wales. I love crafts and motor vehicles.

I used to glue airfix, brush paint unthinned enamel and lick and stick decals when I was a kid and grounded and loved every second of it!

I had a Tamiya 1/12 '98 R1 when I was 10 and a poster of the bike on my wall. Needless to say I made a mess of the kit.

Now I own an actual '98 R1, so I decided to try the kit again and I'm hooooked! Started watching Paul on YouTube and here I am!

I'm no stranger to arts, craft, making things and fiddly stuff, I've been a tattoo artist, painter, welder, fabricator, even a baker! I just love making things.

With lockdown upon us, I bought the Tamiya R1M (With blue stuff anniversary decals) and the Tamiya Castrol Tom's Supra, with some top studio bits to keep me occupied! May do a build thread for each, if that's okay!

Sorry to ramble, but, yeah, Hi!

to the forum and enjoy your builds and the odd build diary would be good too

Cool and welcome

You might want to spend some time watching Paul build a bike or car in his uTube tutorials
It will get you up to speed on materials and methods pretty quick

Welcome! Keep watching @Paul 's YT videos and you will learn a lot.

I almost bought an R6 back in 98 but got the SuperHawk instead.. sure wish I would have gotten the R6

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys!

I've already used a few tactics I seen Paul use first, and some by Darlen Models on YouTube.

I've always wanted the R1, came from GSXRs and haven't looked back, it's my daily seen as I don't have a car licence, but looking at an '04 R6 for the run around!

Luke, you'tr certainly amongst some very creative and down to earth chaps here,
No judgement and bags of experience and help on here.
GL in your builds.

Good to see a young un carry on the hobby

Hello and welcome to the group....

Model counseling is on every other Tuesday evening... (just kidding)

I hope you enjoy it here..

Welcome! I'd love to see your R1 from when you were a kid

I built the Castrol Tom's Supra recently as my second ever kit and had a blast. I'm a similar age to you so that's probably why we have similar tastes in vehicles. Looking to attempt a bike one of these days too.

Will be sure to keep an eye out!
