that guy's a fiend for these models

norton comando

on the second page, at the bottom, there's an RC166 too.


just keep changing the number in newPage_.htm, there's a bunch of them
on the agusta, HE BUILT THE FRICKIN CHAIN LINK BY FRICKIN LINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  (about halfway down the page)



I wish I could read Japanese, I wonder how long it takes him to put one together? He has got to the most chilled out person on the planet to be able to make those models...I could never do it!

GG photos and a progress report would be nice....looks like it's not something you could do in a couple of hours!   :o

WOW!  Ok, to me, that looks more realistic than the real thing!   :o :)

I love how the plastic spoke rims weren't up to spec, so he made his own with actual wire!  AMAZING!  I think it's a good thing I don't own one of these model kits- I'd end up butching the crap outta it!  I'm way too lazy to have that exacting of detail in a model- I never paint them either!  My model would be all one color, that molded plastic white, with the burrs not trimed off, excess glue and fingerprints on it, etc.

I can really appreaciate this guys work as a work of art!

Hey- if you look on this page:

About a quarter of the way down from the top- he's made both colors of CB750K0!

do stock pipes really sweep out THAT far from the bike?

I wish I could find a '79 cb650, but I'm probably one of the few.
Why worry about tomorrow for tomorrow has enough troubles of it's own.

Somehow I don't think that our bike would have rated being immortalised in a kit!

Mine sure don't.  They're about an inch away from the swingarm at their closes point, and I have to pull the top pipes off just to get the lower shock bolts out.
