| Honda CB1100R I bought this model in Calgary in 2012 and started some bodywork preparation. In 2014, the GPMG had a club challenge to finish as many WIP (Work in Progress) kits that you had started and never finished. This is the first in a number I hoped to complete in 2014. The kit was built out of the box, which I found very difficult, I kept wanting to: - replace the control wires and brake lines with more in scale diameter ones with correct connectors - replace the front fork with polished aluminum - replace the axles and swing arm nuts and bolts with accurate hex head metal versions - add additional details to bolt heads, etc. Base Kit(s): Tamiya (kit number 14008) Finished: Feb 2014 Modifications/Additions: - built out of the box - some bodywork fasteners replaced with Scale Hardware 1 mm rivets - red was painted on by photocopying decals, placing Tamiya masking tape over top, cutting out the red portion, removing the masking tape and transferring to the model. There were a few bleed through sections and misalignments of the masks. - Alclad II aluminum and pale gold used for metallics - Tamiya Pure White and Bright Red (with a touch of blue) used for bodywork - aftermarket decal used for "Honda" on front fairing.

These photos were run through a photo editing program to sharpen the image, which resulted in the orange peel becoming very prominent. Layout showing most of the painted parts before final assembly |
