Hello to everyone in Auto's.............
I'm very new to the board, although I've spoken to a few of the guy's in Dioramas as it's an area I'm keen to explore.
I am however a "Car guy" when it comes to my modelling so thought I'd better stick my nose in and say hello here too!
My bench is pretty tied up with a lot of picky little projects at the moment so nothing very contempory or visual to post, so what I thought was I'd post my most recently completed Auto' build by way of introduction.
Ironically however it's a motorcycle, this is obviously the Ducati Monster but I kit bashed the far more detailed 916 engine into it - I wouldn't ever do - or recommend anyone else to do it ever again.
It turned a great idea into a miserable nightmare fraught with problems and angst - and largely to very little advantage too. Never the less a reasonable build did result and as proof here it is......................
I realise having spent some time exploring the threads on this board that my finish and rendering is a touch below par, but half the reason for arriving here was in order to extend my modelling horizons, and to learn how to express myself beyond the standard ex-works type finishes - which frustratingly I seem to have spent the last 30 odd years trying to perfect!!
Either myself or this hobby really can be quite fickle?............. Smilin' now.
Cheers............................. Longbow.
