Tamiya 1/6 Honda CB 750 F

Hi all made a start on the spray booth for the workshop, Dont look like much at the moment but I am going from memory and its been 20 plus years since i worked in a spray booth.

That's a good lookin' build so far.

Hi all well I've added some more water to the back of the spray booth and made a bit more progress on the bike

Hi all here is an update on this. My first of several problems I can forsee coming up The carb inlet openings are blanked off as they normally wouldn't normally be seen, as they are inside the airbox, os I've had to open them also since the cable are not connected I have to show the inner cables and the nipples on the ends of those, think I've opened a can of worms here, we will have to see what else crops up.

Hi all as I said opened a whole bag of worms, of course with no tank or seat on the wiring loom would be visible, advice please does this look convincing ( obviously there would be loads more wires really but I don't have any thinner wire to hand and I don't want the loom to get too thick)
I realise I need to add the copper connectors to the end of the wires, and I realise the wires should be wrapped in black insulating tape, also the loom would not be tied with string, this I purely to check if its worth using this method.

Nice work Ken! I love your Dios. :)

Hi all here is another update on this one

Hi all here is an update on this one.

Your attention to detail is out of this world!  Absolutely amazing.

Toshi

Thanks guys.

Hi all here is tonight's update

and this will end up being my bottle of WD40

Great idea; this is fun! 

It's not a mechanic's shop unless you have the WD-40! 

Hi all another update on this one.

I've weathered the tyres a bit

another little update on this one.

Hi all here is an update on this one, thanks to a friend  he sent me some networking wires which are half the thickness of telephone wires, I am now happy with the wiring loom, I dipped the ends in clear bathroom sealant for the plastic insulation over the ends of the copper connectors also I used flattened soldering wire for the cable ties to the frame.

Hi all here is the latest update on this kit, I had a couple of errors pointed out to me, one of them blindingly obvious the rear sprocket should be on the rear wheel so I've sorted that and of course the tank filler hole should be taped up to hide the bit you are supposed to attatch it to the bike with(not there on the real bike)

now I know the qverall size of the bike I am going to try and build one of those bike ramps you see in workshops nowadays.

Hi here is a small update on this

obviously these exhaust flanges would not have the lge locating flange on the back they would be a sliding fit over the down pipes and would pull the downpipes up by the flange on the downpipe, so they needed drilling out.

Made a rack for the exhausts

Hi all did some work on the bike ramp for the garage

Hi all on the last leg with this one, the bike itself is nearly finished, I am attempting to scratch a compressor, which of course would then involve trying to scratch a 1/6 spraygun, still trying to make convincing socket set(you may notice I've made the socket wrench) definitley on the last leg though (may have to make some shelving for the stuff that's laying around on the floor, it looks a very messy workshop which would fail any health and hygiene inspection.

Hi all well the bikes finished now, still some more to do on the dio but deffo on the last leg.

Hi all started on the compressor, and as you can see the mechanic is properly shod now.

Hi all well I'm calling this done . Will take some better pics in daylight tomorrow.

Waaaaaaaaaaay over the top this one is!!! Just outstanding!

That is a REALLY cool dio!!  Brings back lots of memories working on bikes! Great job!

Thanks Guys as promised better pics

Im so happy Im not the only one with OCD when it comes to this stuff.. I think my eyes just fell out of my head.. This is awesome

Thanks very much glad you like it.
