Well I got this model Friday afternoon and today, Tuesday, I consider it finished. The brake and clutch cables are installed and the roughly painted "Jolly Roger" has been applied.
I MAY dust it up later if I put it in a dio, but I have no solid plans to do so at this time.
I painted the skull and x-bones roughly like it was a hodge-podge abstract style applique and I believe it came out good.
So, may I present,
My enduro.
Left side,
Right side,
Front,
And the rear,
I love how the marker lights came out. I painted the lights silver first and then dropped some Tamiya clear red or clear amber on the appropriate light. I think they almost look lit.
If I do put it in a dio, I am working on the rider next. The kit came with one and I'll whip it up and throw it in a drawer until I set it up on the dio.
Feel free to comment, criticize, or clobber.

ready to go,

Do I see some glue scintillate under the seat in the second picture! Damned! Er... wait... NO! It's OIL! Pfeeew!
The Bike came out pretty good! I'm sure that one is making a lot of NOISE! It will be a nice addition to your post-apocalyptic diorama!

I agree. It could be for the forward scouts with your T2K rover.

Dave and all, thanks for the awesome words. I appreciate it!
I mentioned before that it MAY go onto a dio, and if it did, it would go with the Rover. In fact, Gigi, or G-Frog to those that recognize it, wants a rack on the side of the Rover to hold this little gem.
Between ya'll and me, I've already started the rack.
What can I say? I can't say no to the girl! :-)
