Drip tray especially for Andy, made from folded up Aluminium sheet, with added oil.
Homemade waste paper bin and bucket, again from metal foil.

Here is a tap with hopefully a bucket of water, when the PVA cures.

I think I'm doing well when I cut up bits of sprue to make cockpit detail and you come with something like this. Brilliant!!!

BSA almost complete, a few cables added, needs a coat of varnish to seal everything in.
Cables needed from the battery I think as well.

Hi Zak,
Nice looking Motorbike.
Very nice finish on the exhaust.

I hope my next is always better

I'm not convinced about the exhaust, it may need a bit more work.
Here is the bucket and tap in place, is that a drip I see, no it's only a club member - ha,ha.

Should the cylinder barrel and head be black?

Yes, here is one in real life.

As it is quite a small scale, it seemed to look better as is, but I bow to your knowledge.
Right as ever.

I am considering adding another figure, which has been slightly modified from the ones provided with the BSA.
He is still being painted and just posed for my consideration.
Initially I was not going to put any figures in the diorama.
