Re:
LE ? You had a Zaskar?
Got to melt down some more lego bricks as I spotted a few bits I missed when filling in :roll:
Fell off riding the long way home tonight . . . uphill ! :shock: :facepalm:
Wet compacted chalk and around 35psi is not the way ahead !

Re:
Happy weekend all!
Small update on the fantastic plastic bike, or - more to the point - frame that I've been working on.
Having primered (is that a word? ) it, there were a few more bits that needed tidying up, as a result, I've now done those, primered again today, and now ready for some yellow.
BTW, that is tape over the 'SCOTT' decals on the inside of the backend, in case you were wondering.
Now, should I leave it for a couple of days to dry/harden before I start with the finish colour, or not?
At least I have had time in between coats to think about how I'm going to set it up.
It's getting there,
Mike

Re: '98 Scott Endorphin morphin'
So it's a hardtail, trying to look like it's not?

Re:
Sort of.
It's built to allow a small degree of flex in it, so that makes it a soft tail in my world.
Enjoying the challenge of trying to improve it from the state I got it in. Think back to the Guy Martins Spitfire 'restoration' but found in a worse state !

Keep at it but not removing the btake canti bolts is sheer laziness, it will e easier to sand with them out.
Lreave to harden dand with 600, primer again sand with 800, top coat sand 1200 one last top coat that shoukdnt need sandong if the prep waas done.

They're actually bonded in, and with no flats on them.
Thanks for the advice.
I was going to use Scotch pads to flatten back down for next coat. The lines you can see in pics are masked over original stickers. Reverse-masked on one edge so as not to get definite lines. Heard about this on a TV programme.

Reverse masked? Isn't that like the end of Scooby Doo?

Re: '98 Scott Endorphin morphin'
Er, wouldn't know, I'm 46 !
I would have thought that the end was the titles though!
Going out on my 29ER today!
Better make sure I don't try to go around any bends though, if some theories are to be believed.
