Sorry guys..............red mist came down and opened up a whole can of frustration!!!!!!!!!!, i`ve now got that out of my system (i think) and i`ve decided to carry this one on till the end.............i can assure each of you fellas that my frustration was not site/individual related just more my own doing.........as mentioned at the start of the blog personal issues are playing their part. Anyway i hope to resume this over the next few days although i have added some colour to the engine but like all things............i ferked that up as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............i`ll rectify that this evening hopefully. Thanks for understanding and if i go down this route again then somebody come round and give me a ferkin` good slap!! Cheers guys and apologies  |

Hang in there... you are one of people I really enjoy following. Its OK to vent frustration as we are here to help. But please don't dare to ask Gary to post some of his pictures in that tutu thing or it will send us home packing!
Build something else if it helps... that's what I had to do when I was working on my duck and my mojo just died on me TWICE. Let's hope the third attempt is a charm... LOL

Thanks very much indeed fellas........i`ll try again shall i!!!! Ok just too show i ain`t been slacking..........i`ve re-vamped me jig and done a bit of prime work and some trial run with some Candy Lime Green, this will also be on the bodywork but with another colour to break it up from too much Green.. The engine will need a bit of touch up due to handling......     Next up some primer on the bodywork, fender, lower cowl and tailcone.....   This has all been cut back smooth with 4thou and 8thou micro mesh.. This is a little device i`ve made up for keeping all the little bolts safe.............an old fridge magnet reversed and some 2mm sq rod.............you can turn it upside down, bash it about and they don`t move .......s`cuse the dust!!  Thank chaps |

Lordy, Lordy B-Man. That green looks stupendous. Did you put it over a ground coat or just the primer?

Hey Jeff........cheers fella, the green went straight out of a rattle can over a white primer bud.........once i`ve done detail picking i`ll give the green a couple of clear coats |

Cheers Dicky.... , had thought about some CF but now i`ve picked a scheme i don`t know whether it will go  , the paint will involve a lot of masking ready for the next paint stage.............the colour will flow thru the whole bike from fender to tail cone so the idea i have in mind is gonna be a pig to mask............and shape!!! Hey Joe ya snuck in there fella, thanks for the great compliment buddy |
