Hi, welcome, model looking good.
In order to see the image in this forum, when you make a new post, click the insert image icon
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/editor/insertimage.gif
a insert window will appear, and paste the URL that you copy from the IMAGESHACK page, and eliminate the "th." so we can see the image in big scale and no thumbnail, like this:
progress.
[img=http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8341/imgp2581.jpg] (http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8341/imgp2581.jpg])
Then eliminate the [img= (http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8341/imgp2581.jpg]) and ] text, like this:
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8341/imgp2581.jpg (http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8341/imgp2581.jpg)
When you click the submit button the image will appear.
When you upload images choose the 800x600 optio, and click the resize image window.
I hope It works for you.
There more ways to post images but this is what I know.

More on progress wheel and starting other details.

Sorry, I´ll go on your guide, thanks.

Interesting, especially the spokes,

however, lots of the spokes are bent?!?!?!

http://img23.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imgp2462ti5.jpg

Yes, the bent was caused of incorrect pattern used,as you can see, next will be better, i think.

All right I can see the thumbnails now, just erase the "th." and ready!

First the silver base.

Next the transparent tamiya blue. The overcoat with transparent colours gives a deep, changing with light colour, and depending of ligth, you´ll see green, purple...Best seen in finished bike.

Here you see the final colour in the gas tank.

One of the finished bike, you can see the rest of photos in the completed projects section.

Yes, the road map in gas tank is there because whe all finished, the paint job on the tank was ruined, I dindnt wanted to start again, and a rider girl figure is in progress to ride this bike, and she has no tomtom. The map ( a colour copy of armor map) covers the spot on paint.

Those wheels really bring the bike alive! The map is a good idea and if you didn't tell anyone they would not question it.
