I'v changed the title now we have a bike section First up is a Ducati 998 Matrix reloaded edition , a little history .... A black Ducati 996 was used in the Matrix reloaded film , as Ducati had stopped making the 996 when the film was released they made a limited edition 998 in dark green and called it the Matrix reloaded edition , yup thats right a different bike in a different colour here's where I'm at at the moment early days yet , a bit of modification is needed from the 916 kit for this as this is a biposta and the kit is a mono , so I will have to alter the seat cowl to take the pilion seat and scratch some rear foot rests , also the fairing needs altering ( see the vents on the yellow one in the background ) and I will have to get some dexter resin wheels and photo etch brake discs for it ( currently out of stock ) the rest is pretty much a box stock build appart from decals , these I'm gonna have to make somehow or get made for me .

OOOOOOF....I have no bike section? I'll see about starting up a bike category. Just got this new 'puter up and running, and I'm a bit behind in me stuffs!!! Looks like you've got a cool build going with this bike, too!!

got a bit more done to this , getting the panels painted and flatted , cant realy clear them yet as I have no decals , as I'm gonna have to get the decals made I want to leave it until I can get all the decals for this and a few others I am making and have planned all together , I want to build a series of these using the same kit and covering a range of 748s , 916s , 996s and 998s , I would like to get a ALPS printer so I could do my own decals but I can't afford it .

that might be worth looking into Bob , it would mean getting a laser printer but they can be got for a fraction of the price of a ALPS printer , gonna have to find something as most of my planned builds of these bikes need either silver/grey or white decals .

It was brought to my attention by one of our newer members that we didn't have a section for bikes. As we aim to include a vast array of models on this forum, two boards have been created for that purpose! Thanks for the suggestion, Simon!!!! And the 'Catti is looking great!!
