Stone knocked a hole in the front of the chaincase of my T100 - when I opened it up the 'scab' was a perfect fit in the hole, so degreased & Araldite used to glue it back in ( I backed it up with some metal mesh ). Lasted a year or so before I wrote it off - It never leaked oil, unlike the rest of the bike !

Thats a funny story

Lovely finish on the tank and fairing.

I wanted to speed thing up, so I was going to put the case into the oven to heat it up! My father dissuaded me by saying that the heat would distort it - I took the point.............

Thank you, need to clear coat it next probably mess it up

 

[simontie]

Looking like last leg of this build, thought i better take a couple of shots before i cover it all up!!
painting all complete just the last bit of assembly to do, fairing details all but complete underside fairings and oil pipe work to install complicated assembly forks bolt on from the station tube after fitting the fairing and the infill panels have these little magnets to hold them in place
next lot will be the complted model or the remanance of it

That looks spectacular Simon. Literally like you are refurbishing a real one….

 

[simontie]

I've never built a larger scale motorbike but looking at your work it does make it very tempting. They really are top notch

 

[simontie]

Thank you for your kind words.

 

[tigersteve]

Very nice indeed, a great collection

 

[Mark1]

Superb job,

 

[simontie]

Well i managed to get the Mike Hailwood figure so here he is…
no decals supplied with this rather expensive little figure but i managed to make the one for the helmet the rest of the pictures i could find had no sponsorships on the leathers or bike.
Just tape on his boots..

 

[PaulTRose]

That is outstanding!

 

[Airborne01]

That is one beautiful Honda!
