The Honda Z-Series refers to the lineage of mini bikes manufactured by Honda Motorcycles. Though Honda's official model designations are typically Z50A, Z50J, Z50M, Z50R and ZB50, they are more commonly referred to as the "Monkey" or "Gorilla" because of the way people are said to look when riding one of such bikes. Sales of the bike began in March 1964 with the Z50M model.
That is the quick description I got from the amazon website. It looked very easy. I took everything out it was very easy to understand and straight forward. The instruction are most in Japaneses but there is plenty of pictures. I want to paint a different color then the red-orange so you see me priming it out for another color.
This is the first RC mini Tamiya Land Cruiser 100 Wagon. It is a quick project. The instructions were a bit confusing but with a closer look anyone can figure out. I did not paint this wagon. I really should have and would have like to see in another color. Oh well next time. The thing I enjoyed about this Land Cruiser is that the tire were really rubber and had grip. The engine is also very strong and you can take this outdoors. It will go up a steepish slopes but make sure some is there to stop because their is not remote to control. The land cruiser just has an on and off switch. Once it is on it will just go.
I did not make a video of the outdoors test, maybe i will do that sometime this week. and post it.
As I have mention in the last post I did really like this build. I did not like how this came out. I would not really like to display this gundam. That is why I used this for a painting experiment.
I had problems from the very start. I used spray can white, The can said it was a primer but it do not cover the red bit, It just made them pink. I want make into a white and blue colors, that is why i want everything to be white and would hand paint the blue. After using all my white and it still looked pink. I pretty much gave up on this model. I painted the colors on the box.
The paneling did not look that good. When I finish this model I gave it my kids to have fun with it. I guess this is one of those teaching moments.
Gundam 1/144 scale HeavyArms W Series
I have only started making models. a Gundam 1/144 scale HeavyArms and this one was a very cheap one. I build easily. The only complaint was that it was very small and it did not want to stay together. The arms and other little bits keep falling off. I did not have as much fun build this one as others.
I found these old photo of a Lego type car. I think it is a china toy company type i got on eBay. It was not too hard to put together. The only thing I remember about this model was that once you link the block they are almost impossible to seperate them. I think I lost a few fingure nails trying.
Also I really like they old wagon wheels on this car. I don't have this car any more. I was hard for me to take it, but apart my kids had no problem destroying the car. I have found the wheels in my kids Lego piles.
