Re: "ROLAN SANDS" STYLE Yamaha KR500
Now time to make the handlebars, styrene tube and grips from other bike:
Now the seat, it is bicycle type, I used 2 plyes of 3mm stryrene and a lot of sanding, some dremel work too: A rivet is added for detail and finnaly brown leather paint, some shades too: Now seat support: All scratch parts finally finished, I can bealive it took me more than a year to make all this little pieces, but now is the more fun part, is like I just opened a Tamiya kit, so time to paint and glue parts: Here with the doned parts from the yamaha ysr 500: Finally testing all parts fitting, the bike looks amazing!!! Here is the finnal paint schemme:

Re: "ROLAN SANDS" STYLE Yamaha KR500
Hi, after a while, here is some advance, this took some time because ti paint, I have to wait from layer to layer diferent colors.
Here is the base color: The second color: Now the decals, I already made them, but I will post teh process, due the decal paper is really transparent, and I dont have a printer that prints white. 1.-Y painted some decal paper in white ando some in black: 2.-I printed the background of the decal (in this case rsd logo, stands for roland sands design), and draw the shape im going to use: 3.-I applied the decal on the white painted paper: 4.-Now I cut the piece and applied it on the black painted paper: 5.-Now I cut the piece again, leaving a black edge, and I have my final product 6.-I put the decal on the model, with some tamiya mark fit softener, I was surprised this softener works with the painted paper really well: The decal looks blurry because I made it really quickly, just for an example. Here are the real ones with the clear coat on, so at the end, they are a fory layer decals, bacause of the logos and number 1: I have used this technique a lot with adhesive vinyl, but the result is very thick decals, even with thick clear coat on, example: I masked the model to paint the white areas, but later I decided to make the decals described: I discovered with some tests, that adhesible viniyl is good to mask, the shapes result really sharp, but only if you now you have good adhesion in the base paint.

Re: "ROLAN SANDS" STYLE Yamaha KR500
Now the radiator fabrication, I used diferent styrene calibers and some fabric net:
Fitting: Painted: More fitting: This is not the final grille, it is just testing material: I removed the 15 years old paint, eassy off worked well after 4 applies: I used plastic tubing and really thin wire to mahe the hoses: Pieces almost finshed, I use some CF on the exhaust tips: Now finally comes the fun, the assembly: I still have to make some pieces, pegs, shift linkage, brake pedal, some more cables and hoses, but thas a quik job. Here are all the patterns I had to make: Radiator housing: Number plate: Gas tanks: Rear fender: Cant wait to assembly the model, but I have to wait some days to polish and wax the paint, so Im spending my time in a fun quick build.

Re: "ROLAN SANDS" STYLE Yamaha KR500
Well, lets begin the assembly, this is the radiator housing grille:
The forks: I added a chain guide so the frame doesn't get scratched: Clutch cover: Testing fits: Engine, I added fuel lines, spark plug cables, and water hoses: I wanted to use some Hiroboy clear tube, but I is too thick, so I used a clear material used to make plastic necklaces: Coils and fuel pump: Acelerator cables: Nice engine! Ready to glue engine, no turn back from here: Exhaust and rear end assembly: Conecting cables: Testing forks: The hardest thing to do was to connect the water hoses: [img]http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/4554/img5277l.jpg/[img] Wow! Everything is fitting right! Now axle and hex nuts: Now bike stand with styrene rods: And its finished!!!!!!! Its been so long time so I have the feeling I still have something else to do, but its really finished. Ill post it in Complete model section later. Thanks everyone for watching, and thans for your advice and comments.
