Hobby re-ignited

Having seen all of the excellent work on this forum I decided to take up this hobby again at the tender age of 53. I have done motorcycling modelling before many years ago but nothing to the standard posted on this forum, I cannot tell you how impressed I am with all work displayed. Anyway I have just finished 2 models which as you can see are more or less bog standard kits except from the CF. I am currenty working on the Tamiya Konica Minolta RC211V'06, this will be basiclly the same standard build as before but my next project will be the Tamiya Yamaha YZR-M1 Valencia Edition which will include the detail parts from Top Studio which I hope to post on this forum as WIP.

Thanks to everyone for re-igniting my enthusiasm.

Looks like very clean builds, and judging from these photos (nice ones by the way) you haven't lost any skills during your absence. Very much welcome to the forum too.

Keep the bikes coming

Welcome, your work looks really good, If you already have this experience, imagine what you can achieve by taking some techniques from the guys in this forum!

Welcome back! I'm trying to get back into the hang of things myself.:crying:

Thanks for all your comments. thats what I hope to achieve in my next build Alex by taking some of the techniques used from this forum - the power of the internet, something which was not available when I was younger.

Those two look great and I'm really looking forward to seeing more from you, especially the upcoming M1 Valencia :smile:

Two very, very nicely built bikes...!!! Welcome back to the hobby and also to the forum.Looking forward to seeing more from you. :)

First of all welcome to the site. Your models look very good and clean built . The pictures are also from a good standard. Up to the next model and thread.
Have fun building and sharing your models with us.

These are really great. Fabulous work and great photos, very colorful. There's some sort of squirrely pattern-distortion in the pics, if you could iron that out you'd have forum perfection all-round :)

Great looking models! Welcome back!
