  2. Nah he's talking bollocks.....everyone who knows anything about HRC knows they only ever used cocktail sticks on the factory bikes.

    The lady at a catering company told me and she should know.........

  3. The tooth picks really help to show the scale, much better pics as well.

  4. I'd straighten out that kink in the hose feeding the top of the radiator before you start it up though.

  8. Yeahhhhh I can see the pics

    I'm tempted now

    I had a 1275GT mini and bought a model years ago though it didn't have an engine

    Do you have to build from scratch
    If so thats a perfect way for me to learn

  9. heres a few updates. pics are a bit iffy as ive had to use the camera phone.

    View attachment 4072 View attachment 4073 View attachment 4074

    1. swingarm

    2. right side of frame

    3. left side of frame

    theres loads of little gold details but i dont how well these will show up. ive started on the body work so will upload pics if anyones interested when the cameras charged up ( i know this is a Ducati forum for real bikes after all!)
    will post some of the 916 pics when the cameras ready!

  10. Subtle ads for carpet cleaning, is this the new wheelie bin in the background feature?

  12. It's all looking very pro. What with the polystyrene and all.
    In fact, it doesn't look any easier than putting together a real bike.

  14. its about as reliable...the speedo and a fairing screw fell off the Duke when i was moving it around...amazing how the Japs capture every detail so fastidiously. (916 pics on the Doohan build thread)

  15. I think it needs a new chain before you do the shake down, there seemed to be a tight spot....

  20. Neat. You'd almost think it was the real thing but the paddock stand looks a little spindly.
