Many thanks CeeBee, I know it's not really your cup of tea so really appreciate the kind words.
Hi Keith, thank you, it means a great deal coming from who I consider to be one of the best Auto builders I have ever followed. As for what's next mate, not sure, might take a break until Tamiya's new 1/6 Harley drops on the doormat in December or I might do a 1/24 motor in the meantime.
I have a few of Tamiya's 1/12 cars that I want to have a go at but I think the Harley is my main focus, with all Tamiya's expertise, and 30 years since their last new tool release, it should be truly marvellous!
See how I feel in a few days...

Gotta love those Fishtails Prof. This is one sweet ride. Nice work with the decals, the ones on the tank really add to it.

Very much appreciate your kind words chaps.
Few days rest now while I ponder my next move as well as catch up with the great builds on the forum which I have neglected so badly.

Guys, very kind comments always gratefully received, thank you.
It's unfortunate that my favourite subjects, bikes in 1/6 are so costly, being realistic, one, maybe two is all you can afford to do a year. That said, December can't come quick enough, I'm so excited by the new 1/6 hog kit I go dizzy thinking about it! (Yes, I'm that sad)
Rest assured I will bore the pants off you all when it arrives!
I spent some time yesterday evening looking for a slightly less involved subject to fill in the time, probably something 1/24, I have a few to choose from. If I start it, assuming I don't finish it before the hog arrives, it will be unceremoniously 'parked' until the hog is done.
Back soon...

Sorry for the late reply Keith.
Yes I have, it's identical to the one I've just built bar the decal sheet, looks rather nice in black I must admit!
