Not rushing this one Paul, you'll just have to wait like everyone else. Little bits are getting done today the gloss black went on the frame, rear mudguard and back wheel things, you can see it when that lot is all together, maybe tomorrow Might go and start on my wheels tonight, it I do you can see them  |

The donk looks great Robbo!
As for primers, I use Tamiya Fine for items with fine details such as 1/48 instruments and Halfords for everything else.

Thank you fellas
Just given the seat a coat of Halfords satin black. The X1 on the mudguard is well good.
This bike building is really different but very enjoyable, making me want to try an old car and I mean a vintage car

I've just been putting the wheel halves together and the fella on you tube said
"there are some little bumps that you will have sand down to get rid of the gap between the two halves"
What a complete knob, they are small locating pins to get your spokes lined up, beggars belief

OK I've just primed everything on the sprue to quicken this build up a bit The bits that are going to be black will also get glossed on the sprue I'll just touch them up as I add them to the build I've managed to throw out a very small piece that was left on a sprue, I didn't see it  . I'll have to make something up, it should be dead easy |
