Here's one for Dave Cox! This is part of the reason I haven't done more modelling lately. But it is a kit of sorts...1/1 scale Commando!

Thanks for that Jesper, right bike, wrong photo! I was trying to post the ones of it in bits, it was supposed to be an amusing angle on kit assembling, but without the photos it doesn't really work. I wish I could find out where I'm going wrong, I just copy & paste the file name as per the prompt but it just doesn't work for me! What am I leaving out? Here's what I inserted:

Right, this is my final attempt to put the pictures in!



I've even gone to "properties" on the pictures & copied the path exactly!

Ah! Success at last! 1/1 scale 750 Commando by Norton Villiers.
Note the excellent work bench & the high tech tool kit!
Picture 1 shows the large bits taken out, top right is the inner primary case, top left clutch assembly, & bottom left outer chaincase.
In picture 2 you can see the big space in the bike behind the engine where the gearbox used to be! Note also the black lump front & centre which is what remains of the gearbox shell.
Picture 3 is a close up. If you look at the right of the shell, the shiny silver circle is a very knackered layshaft bearing housing. The black triangle is the hole in the case where the balls from the bearing escaped through the shell!!
What do you all suggest as glue?
