M1 2004 Rossi

ketje · 07-09-2008, 06:56 AM

This moment I'm working on the Tamiya M1 2004 Rossi.
I will be using the Top Studio set, Tamiya front fork set, Gaulloise decals, SMS carbon, some hiroboy stuf and the zero paints.

I already did a lot of sanding and sawing but I've still got a lot to do.
Pictures will follow shortly.

A quick peek of the slow progres, due to a lack of time.

The inside was filled with styreen. The extra welds were made using streched sprue, glue and the back of a scalpel. The whole thing was primed afterwards.

Nice work ketje!!

I like your welds, and also nice detailing with the wire. I will look very close to this thread, it looks very interesting.

Bye
Roca.

Great start! Iguess the adjusters are p/e(?) but what about the wiring, all scratch?

The wiring is included in the topstudio set, however I find the instructions blurry. At the end of the adjusters I put a little piece of plastic to represent the nuts. I also used two small pieces of metal to stabilise the connector.

Yesterday I airbrushed the rear end. This was the first time I used the zero paints. They rock.

Is it odd for me to find just that single photo a real beauty to look at? Gorgeous

Due to an unknown reason I screwed up my decals of the rear end. So I'm looking for someone who's got these in the sparebox. If not can anyone tell me where I can find these?

the detailing looks nice, but how are you going to paint that ?!? I mean the connectors and wiring. It looks glued together.

You should have painted the parts before and then assemble them.

strange, very interested in the progress.

That's no problem. The wiring and the connector are both black. They will be detailed painted by hand.

I have two sets of decals that I can send you. PM me if you still need and we can figure out how to get them to you.

Fabulous paint!! More photos please!!

For the decals if Andy can't help you I can scan mine and send them to you but you will have to print them yourself.

Roca.

thanx roca

I have sent a pm to Andy for the price and I'm waiting for a respond. I'll let you know.

Due to future publishing of the model I'm not allowed to post a lot of pictures anymore. The built is going well this moment and the model will probably be published in the new Belgian magazine Art of Modelling and also in Model X.

Here you've got a sneak preview.

Hope you guys like it.
