How did you make the chain tensioner? They look like they came from a mold. Very cool.

Made them from 0,5mm polystyrene sheet and glued together.

Thanks for watching :smile:

nice and clean! your weld lines are better than tamiya's! what tool did you use to shape the welds? how did you keep them straight?
they look real already. wow!!!

Mr. Jekyll

Just apply Mr. Dissolved Putty. When little dries (approx. 7-10 min), I use angle cut syringe's needle...

I agree with 24hrs, your welds are the best I have seen! You should think about doing a little model seminar or youtube video of how you do it. I have tried different methods to get that effect and have always had an unsatisfactory experience. Either it dries too fast or I get too much and make a mess of it. You seem to have the process down pat!

Lots of good work in that update. I like the weld lines that you added to the silencers, they look excellent..

I agree with other posters - your welds are excellent - the most realistic and to scale

I have to admit that I'm very satisfied with the final result. Especially I used this method for the first time :)

I painted pipes black gloss and Alclad Titanium (if I remember correctly) overall. Then paint with clear orange, blue and violet.

Finally, paint with clear red in the middle of heating signs.
All paint with firm thinned Tamiya's acrylics low pressure.

Mr. Jekyll - those are undoubtedly the best scale 2 stroke pipes I've seen -
one last question - what size needle/jet did you use in the airbrush?? 0.18??
I will need to try out your technique
Thanks for sharing
John

Also Mr. Jekyll did you check the air supply for moisture ?? with regards to the micro bubbles??

Thanks guys!!! Your comments are motivating.

I must say though that this masking job feels a bit over ambitious :iceslolan :wink:
