Hi All

Over and above me doing the design and workings for my Transformer model I have decieded to build the new Yamaha R1M ultra high detail that was released in December 2015

I still continuing the development work on the Transformer, but I am getting the with draw symptoms to build a model, not that designing a model is bad and so on but a change of scenery is a good thing.

So I have now printed all 54 pages of the model artworks

So may the fun begin

Hi

I have build the previous version of this motorcycle and will be curious to see how this upgraded version compares.

Please post lots of pics.

Hi there

I too will be very interested in your experiences with this new model. It is certainly on my "to do" list, but after bad experiences with last year's XTZ850R (which eventually I had to abandon) I am giving Yamaha a rest for a while!

I wish you every success, and look forward to seeing more.

Hey All

After a bit of slow start here is the first few parts assembled.

This Week I want to see if I can get a bit more assembled.

Enjoy

Good luck! This is a rather nice kit - I am keen to see how it works out!

Hey All

First part of the front fairing is now done, two repairs have already taken place.

Some photos to show the completed parts. The instructions say that I must glue the two side parts to the top fairing but for now I am leaving it to later as not have the to do a repair on that part as well...

I'd love to build one of these but.......I don't know if I'd live long enough!
It's hard enough just completing one page models at present but 54 pages........

Hey All

update time, I have now finished section 1 of 5 of the model, the front cowl is now complete, final assembly of the parts will happen at the end of the build.

Next section is the tank and front forks.
