Modellers?

Post by Katman » Mon Aug 01, 2011 8:16 pm

Do we have any/many members who are into building the scale model kits of their bikes?

If yes, would anyone be interested in "extra" parts?
I'm currently in the process of trying to make some resin parts to convert the standard 1100 kit into the 1100SD & 750 S2.
If successful, these parts will be available in 1/12, 1/8 & possibly 1/6 scales.

I'm just wanting to suss out if there's any interest on here?? ;)

If memory serves me right I still have a 1/8 SZ model I fished out of the bay years ago. That seller ripped me - the tank was missing. I suppose you don't do these, do you?

I could be interested in the 1:6th version (I don't need a replica of the 1100SE in 1:12th as I've just bought a Wits die-cast model recently ;-). But if you miraculously manage to create a 1:12th 650 ED-1 you'll have to count me in for it also !!!
If you need help with the stickers I can make the vector files.
By the way, Nitto did its 1:8 Kat in SD version in 1983, which came with is correct wheels as well as cam covers and a trick exhaust. I Have pics of the box, spruces and decals if you're interested !

If your having trouble with Corel 12 try using Corel version 9. I used to ship this with the cnc machines I was building as it does all you really need but isnt too complicated. I have corel 12 here but still use version 9 for my vinyl cutter and everything else I do :D
