BMW K100 (8) - Your are not old, You are just Classic!

Now that I just realized I have not take some proper photos for my build last year. Here it goes.

BMW K100 (7) - Your are not old, You are just Classic!

I wasn't sure if it is going to work out, so I have actually keep the progress to myself before I have a better work done. So here is it. This is my first 1:12 "proper" diorama...

Mostly made from plastic sheets and rods and craft sticks. And by the end of the project, I have added some tool boxes and paper boxes to give more stuffs here and there.

Not 100% satisfied with this for now, but I do think I will be doing some more of this kind of work later. And I hope you are enjoy reading it. Appreciate if you can also give me some thoughts about it too. Thanks~ Ciao~

After some serious wiring work and fittings, the bike is now getting into shape.

It will takes a few weeks until I can polish the fairings. Then the bike will be final-fitted and will be done.

Got some wiring along the engine bay really now.

I have got the replicated decal last week. That's why I am able to progress further with the body work.

I have put up the chassis together now and it is getting there inch by inch~~

Got a slim bit of time to get something going over the long weekend for Mid Autumn, and I have got the body work painted in white, and the frame in black, and the engine a bit of details and weathering.

Really need to grab more time for this kit to meet the time for November event...

Today I've get rid of the gap along the fuel tank and prepared the leather seat.

I hope to have this really straight from the box so hopefully I can get this painted by the end of next week.

Today, it comes to a day when I really cannot delay the start of this kit anymore. I need to get this prepared as it jumped into September all in a sudden. I hope I can get this done right before November then I will manage to complete it for the competition for this year.

This is a BMW K100 kit, i pretty aged kit and properly discontinued for long. I got this from a yahoo auction as far as I can remember, probably over 3 years ago. You can tell how original this kit as I barely know there is such kit before placing the bid.

Opening the kit, it is a very simple kit. I can see from the design of the molding it has to be the same period like the Tamiya Mini Cooper. The instruction sheets are very brief but at usual Tamiya standard. And the plastics are really strong. When i cut the parts off, it is like as if it is new kit released a few weeks ago!

I quickly worked out some of the major body parts so I can mor on with the paint job asap.

The intake cover has to be opened up for a net replacement. So I drilled around the openings and put the openings in proper shape. 

Then the frame of the bike is setup and the body kit is pre-assembled.
This has to be a kit for of fun as I nolong need to take care of all the messy wiring and hosting.... yet... haha
