Really enjoying building this beast, so detailed and very satisfying seeing it come together.
I'm just over half way, just got the front end and bodywork to do next. I'm going for a "just finished off-roading" well used look.

Engine, with some oil stains







Centre stand feet scuffed and rusted, really pleased with how it looks



Undertray scuffed & muddied, centre stand scuffed & rusted



Exhaust scuffed & rusted, some dirt on the frame, really like how the exhaust came out



Engine & radiator, some more oil & weathering



Front of frame & radiator cowl splashed with mud



More mud on the frame, muddy boot scuffs on the swing-arm from using the centre stand

Super realistic.

Can we see the ‘before’ pic of plain plastic?

I've not got too many 'before' pics as I'm weathering it as I go along and only taking photos at sporadic intervals.
There are a few of the bare frame and swing arm
