I have bin stalking this site fore months and just bought me some kits and this is the first one i built. First lesson learned chrome parts are fragile and hard to keep then looking good.
It is all built and the base paint is on there but i want to weather it and make it look like its being ridden, I don't like shine bikes because i believe bikes should be ridden note stored in garages.
I was thinking about doing a diorama With this traveling Dude sleeping under a tree it is a bit too big and I don't have that much space where I live, I am doing this on the living room table because the wife is away
but I am working on an portable work bench that I can store under the bed.
I haven't decided if I am going to putt decals on it but there came some with the kit.
I am sort of lost in how i should continue and would be very thankful fore some tips.
I am thinking should i put clear gloss paint on it or maybe that future stuff, before I whether it (can anybody tell me where i buy that in the uk?).
Can I use my paint to weather it with dry brushing or highly thinned out paint, I use Revel enamel paints. I don't have an airbrush so I need to do all this with a brush.
Humm maybe I should put these questions in the painting topic...
This is a first build In many years an I did not do many of these when i was a kid so pleas be gentle hehehe
The number plate fell off
I have done some touch up on the paint work but this is pretty much how it is at the moment.
I haven't done any thing on it for a month I am working on another build at the moment that I will post later one.
Hope you like it
God bless

You really have the chrome down shiny but most riders keep there choppers shined up whether or not they keep it on the road or in the garage.
