Here is a few current pictures of a run of six MV125 agusta motorcycles I’m building in metal .

These models are all sold Bar 1 and are entirely scratchbuilt using raw materials mainly Brass and Aluminium, the Tyres are machined and milled from solid Acrylic sheet .

I’ll add more photos as time goes on and if anyone is interested in what I do I’m happy to answer any questions you may have ?

This is obviously a totally different type of modelmaking to the usual plastic kit building so I don’t want to put people off what I do , Just thought I’d show my work!

Thanks for looking

What an involved and interesting build you are working on here. The workmanship looks top notch, and the wheels are spectacular!

One question though, why 1/5th instead of the more common 1/6th?

Also, you have a good name and the proper spelling-that is the biggest compliment I can give :stuck_out_tongue:

Hi Sean,

I build all my motorcycle subjects to 1/5th why because the last thing I want people to think is Oh thats just a mix of Tamiya and scratchbuilt parts !

Nothing I build incorporates kit parts another resaon is the real bike is only very small and building to 1/5th brings the size up conciderably larger!
