Back in the day (mid 70s) I always fancied myself on a Bonny or a Commando, but ended up with a Honda instead before being tempted by a beaten up old MGB Roadster!

Discovered to my cost that owning an MGB Roadster was a rich man’s hobby – something I wasn’t then and am still not!

Loving how this is progressing.

Ah, well, Mike, lots of fellas did turn to the "rice-burners", because they didn't leak for a hobby, and they had decent reliable performance. I went from a BSA 650 plunger to a Honda CB450 Black Bomber in 1966.....cracking machine, took my wife and I backwards and forwards to Aberystwyth from Epping several times without a squeak. Great times:D:p.

Managed to own one Japanese bike , like Alan, a CB450, which was ultra reliable. I had a Benelli 6 for a couple of months - awesome but complicated, and I'd have ended up broke (financially and physically) if I'd kept it. It went, and was replaced with an MGA 1600 Mk 2 roadster (should've kept that!):oops:

Hi Folks, just some pics of the figures being fleshed out. Both balance well, so on with the detailing....(y)

Yes, excellent. And a good show of what can be done with existing (diecasts) models, to make them into something much more interesting.
 
Good show, Steve - like your rendition of the loafers on the Mod, his parka looks excellent & the face looks slightly reminiscent of Phil Daniels in Quadrophenia (it's the hairstyle). Superb (y)
 
Thanks for the comments, guys. Just putting the finishing touches to the sculpts, then I need to wait for a decent day to get them all primed ready for paint......thats where the problem lies, as Ive not picked up a brush for almost 12 months!!(y)
