CR250MX'r *UPDATE*_4-6_ WIP
Posted by Dr. Faust on Sunday, April 6, 2008 4:36 AM

I was able to get some work done on the Honda this week. I took Doogs' adviceThumbs Up [tup] and tried a new technique(at least for me) and used stretched sprue to simulate welds on the exhaust pipe. Once I figured out you need to glue it first, then soften it with liquid cement it went pretty good. I used a shaped toothpick that I dipped in wax to form the "welds". I tried to keep them as small as I could.(It's just a wantabe FMF fatty pipe, not a Tank hullSmile [:)]Wink [;)])

Some other details and parts have been added also. Here are a few pics.

Thanks for looking, all comments, critiques and tips welcome!.......

It looks like the red got messed up in the editing process, I try to fix that next time.Confused [%-)]

Fantastic Job ! The only thing that makes this Bike not look 1/1 it is too clean. Thumbs Up [tup] It looks like it's still in the Showroom. Needs the plastic bag of paperwork zip tied to the bars..Wink [;)] I can not find anything that needs improvement. You have done a Great job on this.Bow [bow] Thanks for sharing...
