Very nice Gary,
The front Disc brakes look very effective, what colours did you use there?

Just awesome, Gary!! I'm not a 93 fan (at all, really) but you did this one right! Love it!

[Not sure if you noticed, but you got some gunk on your DSLR sensor, see pics 1-4. I have a Canon DSLR and you can actually clean it without damaging it. I was pretty nervous at first, but they make (flat) swabs and solution for it - or you can take it to a camera shop. They won't guarantee anything though. ]

I used X-10 gunmetal first, and then masked off and gave the inner part a very light dusting of XF-56 metallic grey. On the 1:1 bike, the whole disc is made out of carbon, so it's only where the rotor has been rubbing the brake pads where it changes colour.

Cheers! Subaru project is on hold for the moment though, I had a minor mishap with one of the wheels, so I'm coming up with a plan b for that, once again, I amaze myself at my own stupidity!

I do have a new project on the go now though, it's interesting!

Cheers Barry, yeah I see it now, it's a cheap (old) camera now, I still have no idea how to use it really, just playing about with different setting etc trying to get something I like the look of. I really want to improve my photography skills.

Can't believe I missed this. Beautiful finish mate!

[Twokidsnosleep]

I missed this too in my absence
SUPERB motorcycle build, very impressive

Thanks chaps, I appreciate the kind words.

I was happy with how the build turned out, but still can't take a decent photograph to save my life, very frustrating as my models look so much better in the flesh than I am able to capture in a photo.
