Okay I posted this the other day but in the wrong place. so here it is in the correct place.
Okay I have something of a Love affair with 750s of Most Models of Major Manufacturers, I have owned a Honda CB750F which was custom Painted in a metallic Blue as well as the Kawasaki GPZ750F in its Natural environment of Kawasaki Green. Sadly I could not find a Tamiya Kawa GPZ750 Model kit so I am going for this one.
The CB 750F that I had one weekend took me 72Km in just a shade over 15 minutes. My god what a ride that was. I was off to pick up my girlfreind so we could go out that night. she claimed to hear me coming down the road for about 3 minutes which put me at about 10km away. Mind you I had the bike cranked open on a Nice quiet day with Little traffic on what could really be called a "major road" between towns in Zimbabwe. I was doing over 200KPH for most of the way. my arms felt like I was tugging on lead weights most of the time as I was having to make myself very streamlined. anyhow that Bike and I came to a rather un-amicable split after it dropped me on my ass a few weeks later on a dirt road as I was taking a curve at a fair old lick and it ripped itself to Bits. Lucky I was only about 800m from the girlfreinds House at the time.
Anyway here is My Build for the competition, I may do others but they will be in seperate threads.

I am Kinda cherry Picking for the Pics here so That I am not adding 24 of the bastards. This is What You getting so far. I have done other building today but I will have to edit the files so they are not too Big. thing only accepts 500Kb Files (or Less). I have also changed my phone from using only 9MP of its 15MP camera to only take them at 6MP. hopefully that will save them in a smaller KB size

Re: The Marvelous Build of a CB750F for the I heart Tamiya GB
well I have finished building my I heart Tamiya Bike. Due to pain though I was not able to always put up pictures. However for those of you that Have facebook I have made a Page on which I have shared every picture which would just be a Logistical Nightmare and would send the Storage space that Paul and Co use into orbit. I think in total I did over 50 Photographs over maybe the week or 2 that it took to build the Bike
Anyway head on over tohttps://www.facebook.com/Evilmuttscreations/ for the entire BUild process.
I have to admit that I loved doing this build as it is only the second time I have built a Bike. Maybe during the remaining time of the contest I might find another tamiya Kit to do, but I do not know Just yet.

Thanks for the comments. The Bike actually reflects when up close to it. I decided against gloss coating it after as I did not want to cover up this Accidental (but pleasing) effectminster wrote:Nice build, love the metallic blue
