Back after a few years away

Posted by Microbike on Tuesday, January 19, 2016 3:46 PM

Hello Everyone. I am Andrew from Oxford in the UK. I build mostly 1:6 scale motorcycles but with slightly different approach to bike building (to be revealed later when I start a thread on the 1:6 Yamaha Midnight Special). I also build 1:12 bikes and the odd plane every now and then. I can't quite figure out armour and figures terrify me. I airbrush 99% of any model I build as I am more comfortable with an airbrush than a brush. I collect Tamiya 1:12 motorcycle kits and have every Tamiya 1:12 bike kit from 14001 Kenny Roberts Yamaha YR500 to the latest 14129 Ducati 1199 Panigale, and a few duplicates in between

Welcome Andrew Welcome Sign

I'm interested in seeing your bikes. I think I built one once and I owned a Yamaha 1100 Midnight Special several years ago.
Don't worry, while armor is not a problem, figures scare me too.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Andrew, a hearty welcome. You'll have great fun here, lots of great chaps that share so much information. I'm in Oregon, lived in Andover, real bike lover, faves were the Norton Commando with Dunstall mods and a Matchless. Loved the British bikes, lovely machines with character.

Let's see some of your builds, Cheer-O.
