I am enjoying it a lot :)

Also, here is a pic of the custom paintbooth I ask my brother to build for me. It's 36" wide for ships hehehehe.

I tried it out on the motorcycle and it works great.

Thanks

Welcome also, Eric.  

Building a bike that well, you'll soon be teaching the rest of us a thing or two.  Nice work.

Welcome to the Forums Eric. Nice looking build for taking 20 years off. Just like good wine, it gets better with age. Wink Happy building.

Hey Eric. In the words of the T2000 in Terminator 2, "Say......that's a nice bike!". Welcome to the forum and looking forward to more great builds out of you. That's a good build for somebody who's been out for 20 years! See you around, Joe

Welcome to the forum Eric!! I have no doubt that you are going to enjoy yourself here. Outstanding lot of folks who are more than willing to share modeling with you and answer any single question you may have. And may I say that that is an absolutely stunning bike you built. I can see that you have  nicely honed skills to share with us. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Welcome to the forums Eric! Love the Virago! I built the same kit last year (as a change of pace from my usual WWI bipe) and enjoyed every minute of the build. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. You picked a great place to hang out and a great group to hang with. Yes

Hi,

My name is Eric. Like so many others I've seen, I have returned to a hobby I enjoyed as a youth. After spending time in the service and retiring, then starting a new career, it was hard to find time to build. Recently I acquired a 10x14 building and turned it into a model building shop which I hope to get a lot of use out of hehehe. Here is a photo of a Tamiya Yamaha Virago that I just completed. It felt great as this is the first model I have finished in over 20 years.

I enjoy building all types of models and look forward to being on the forums.

Thank you.
