I just made a killer buy on FleaBay! I picked this baby up for $14 Bucks! It's still brand new in the box and still sealed! I can't wait to get this and do the build. Hey, If you can't have the real one, this is the next best thing!

Dude! Excellent score! Congrats! I see a new Yamaha Build Thread coming!!!! :tup:

I take it they did not have the 1:1 scale for the same price? ;)
 
And make sure you get some frame sliders on it right away! :D

I used to love to build models. But then I started finding the most creative ways to destroy them.... ;) Most involved some sort of black powder and home-made rockets. :tup:

At the high point of model making, I had just under 400. Mostly cars and planes, and a few ships tossed in. I was 14 years old and my mother was going to disown me. Every cent I got my hands on went to either a new model or equipment for painting them, paints, brushes, sprays, etc. At 16, just before I left my house for good, a friend and I had a 4th of July to remember! M-80's, Rockets, Gun Powder, Lady Fingers, and finally plain old lighter fluid. We blew up everything except for my most prized items. I left home with about 9 and continued building them until I was 20 or 21. Then life took over and I spent more time riding and doing other things. Once I saw this beauty, I said to myself that I had to try and get it. It will be nice to jump back into a fine hobby such as model building.

She's gonna be bone stock Bogie. However, I'm not going with the clear lower fairing, but will detail the engine in case I need to show it off!
 
Wow that's a nice score Billy! I'd love to own the real thing, but they are prohibitively expensive by now.

Man I haven't built a model in probably close to 30 years :(

The last one I built was Kenny Roberts YZOW500? I must be what not Australian to worship the King Kenny?

We have to start a thread for all the Model Makers here to show off their work. They actually had the Kenny Roberts Bike that even had him on it but I opted for this one. Throw a shot of it Blanchy so we can see!
 
when I was younger I've build quite a lot models from Tamiya, and there are indeed first rate and good detail...being I've built mainly military vehicles

(what's with the prices? I've sold these off when I moved houses to another hobbyist)
