Hey I'll watch along just because what a fun little kit.

Peter Hardy
Please do Kyle. Pick one up yourself. You need something a bit relaxing after that Shackleton!

Kyle DeHart
Peter, I may just. And I agreed with you...great minds they say. Which is why I started Tamiya's curbside 934 kit while finishing up the Shackleton. Talk about stress free. Waiting for the orange to dry for my Jäegermeister livery As I sit here fiddling with photo etch on a B-25 build. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Time zones are a b***h! You got an eight hour head start!

Kyle go and pick a kit up. Only Marty, Peter Muldoon, and me in on time. No rules other than a non standard colour.

This car of Kyle's has a 4 part bonnet, which got glued very well. 66 Chevy Fleetside | Album by kyledehart5 (1:25)

That hood on that kit is absurd Martin. 🤦🏻‍♂️ They could have easily engineered that in a better way. That was not my most favorite kit. 😂

Peter, you twisted my arm. Ordered one with some supplies I needed so I'll jump in a couple days late.

I know Kyle. I built her as well last winter 😄
And welcome to the Monkey playground!

Kyle DeHart
I'd like to see yours! And thanks. I've never built a motorcycle before, other than a tiny one of about 4 pieces that came in the MPC Gangbusters kit.

Have fun with it Peter. It's a blast to build.

25% still good then Pete, but when he also goes it'll be (con)Dolenzs all round

Kyle, it took me 24 hours but I worked the comment out! Very proud of that now!
3 May 2022, 00:40
Kyle DeHart
Maybe I should have just said Rimshot! Lol. I'm sorry, I am easily entertained Have you decided on a color for this little jewel?
3 May 2022, 03:40
Jay Dubya
Sorry fellas - I was only taking the micky ...

Peter Hardy
Jay Dub, STOP IT!
3 May 2022, 08:35
Peter Hardy
Kyle would you like me to talk Australian? It has very little correlation with English! Yes I have decided on a colour. How does Inca Gold sound?
3 May 2022, 08:38
Kyle DeHart
Hahaha Jay Dub. Excellent. Peter, it's possible I have been speaking American this entire time, which also has very little correlation with English. Lol. Inca gold sounds fantastic to me.
3 May 2022, 09:17
Peter Hardy
Was planning on Inca Gold as the feature colour. Looked crap (nice colour but didn't look nice on the bike) so that will change. Did some parts in Alclad Hi Shine aluminium and Stainless Steel, both were breaking down from age so that went kaput. Really happy tonight, NOT!

Terrible Peter. I am also unhappy. My shipment has been delayed 3 times already for no reason known to me. It has managed to make its way partway across the states and I remain cautiously optimistic of its arrival on Monday now…
8 May 2022, 10:38
Jay Dubya
@Pete - you can and will do a mighty fine job of it. I'm a believer.
@Kyle - pure speculation, but maybe your shipment is stuck on the last train to Clarksville?
9 May 2022, 13:31
David Fuller
@Kyle and @Jay - Call me a daydream believer, but I'm guessing it went through Pleasant Valley on Sunday.
9 May 2022, 17:33
Kyle DeHart
Oh no. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 Well… I'm a Believer that it will get here soon.

Looking great Peter! I love that blue color. Which one is it? I had the same issue with the taillight. Never noticed it until after I had painted the lens. I never used mine and just painted the attachment area chrome silver like you did with yours.
26 May 2022, 02:23
Peter Hardy
David, the colour is SMS Azure Blue lacquer. andrewshobbies.com.a..um-laquer-azure-blue

Ahh these are so Kool!!! I still got my '70 Z50 that I had as a kid……… watching 😄

Peter Hardy
Same rules as always Munky, six pack into the fridge first and bring a chair from the kitchen.
26 May 2022, 10:59
Kyle DeHart
Oh Peter, this is looking great! I'm out of town this week but this makes me itch to get back and get back into my builds!
26 May 2022, 12:04
Peter Hardy
Kyle, I am itching for you to get back too! I have 3 builds running concurrently atm, 2 bikes 1 car and I am anxious to finish the car today!
26 May 2022, 22:31
Kyle DeHart
I have 3 going as well but none this week as we attempt to qualify for the biggest race of our racing season. Lol. I'll get back into it on Sunday.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Coming along very nicely

You're going quicker than the real bike can! I like the hammer tone effect 👍 Neat and clean work Peter
3 June 2022, 12:19
Kyle DeHart
This is fantastic! I am home now and will be digging back into mine. I love the chain color and the hammer tone
3 June 2022, 19:06
Spanjaard
Wow Peter, it is looking fantastic!

Bloody hell mate that's the dogs danglies! 👍 😎

Kyle DeHart
Stunning work my friend!
4 June 2022, 22:46
Peter Hardy
Thank you Spanjaard!
Munky, nice comparison, I think?
Kyle, you have a nice tactic going on there, let everyone else finish and then build yours! Now get to work!
5 June 2022, 00:25
Kyle DeHart
🤣🤣 Real life has been completely in the way of my hobby recently. But never fear, mine is on the bench, if only I can get to the bench to work on it!
5 June 2022, 01:14
Tom ...
Excellent build. I'm going to try to get some work done on mine. Not going to go with crazy colors as I don't have any but hope I can do as good a job as you Peter!
17 July 2022, 01:22
Kyle DeHart
Looking good Peter. This has been such a fun little kit.
17 July 2022, 20:06
Peter Hardy
Thanks Tom and Kyle. Project has ground to a halt atm as has my MV Augusta as I need paint and haven't ordered any. Watch out for a 6 wheel Tyrell P34 soon!
18 July 2022, 00:40
Kyle DeHart
I understand; With the completion of my Monkey, I have a P34 coming up soon as well!! It's creeping up the "build it soon" stack. A stack that is totally dictated by whether or not I have useable decals and proper paint colors. 😂 Can't wait to see you bikes done and your p34 project.
18 July 2022, 02:47
Peter Hardy
Kyle, if you have the Tamiya kit be prepared with a ceramic scraper and a glass sander. I have been prepping for two days and still only halfway through the parts!
18 July 2022, 04:21
Kyle DeHart
Ah. Lovely. It is indeed the 1/20 scale Tamiya version.
18 July 2022, 04:46
Robin (WhiteGlint)
Looks great, Peter 👍 Looks like almost at the finish line.
15 August 2022, 12:00
Peter Hardy
Yeah, just need a clear coat. No mojo atm.

Greg Baker
Man, I just want to hop on that bike and hit the trails!
25 August 2022, 15:28
Peter Hardy
Greg, they'd want to be short trails! That fuel tank is plenty small.
