Anyone built one of these?

Look pretty good, although tricky to build, anyone from the model railway world with tips/advice?

Silk Cut Jaguar will be winging it's way across the pond to me soon.

No experience with a kit but I did have a go at one of these once

All I can say is that if your building from a kit and therefore only get one of each piece practice on some of the print yourself ones first - the japanese guys make it look super easy - which I found it isn't, also some good coloured markers, the fold lines go white and so you have to colour them back in.

Thanks, just saved me $15, and set the Xmas presents for a couple of Yamaha owning friends!!

Time to practice, downloading now....

maybe not the purist way of doing it - but I found printing to light card worked the best, and superglue to keep it together, everything else was just too weak for the curves, unless you have the patience of a saint letting each tab dry with pva before doing the next - little drop on a tab, put it together, it goes off and move to the next one.

Also the accuracy of the cutting makes a difference, trying to modify a fork holder isn't easy after the event.

Mine got squished in a house move before it was finished, maybe i'll have another go.
