Had a bit of fun with an 1/18th scale model TL

Stripped it down and repainted, binned the fairing, removed one exhaust and made a front number board to replicate my bike a bit better, plus next years number on it :laugh

And he machined the whole thing from a single block of aluminium using just a dentist's drill and a swiss army knife......... :)

I see you've gone for the OE rubber, I find Dunlop Sportsmarts to be a much better option:lol

Is that a stock engine, or is it a bored and stroked 1200:laugh

Now you just need to make a really big nut to go under the side stand on the full sized version. :thumbup :laugh

TL, Ducati and Gixer. That I can go with. Honda? That's just injecting an element of boredom. :laugh

With me still having a fair bit of time on my hands i've started to do some modeling.
Not a TL but and 1/8th scale RD250LC and i've painted it in Wrangler colours just like the one I had in the 80's
All I need to now is make the Wrangler decals then i'll make a start on my RD500 or the RGV500 GP bike
