Re: Aprilia RS Cube '04 1/12 scratchbuild

Thank's Rod tomorrow i will copy in resin the Frame.. the rear arm.. the engine block... the engine head and other pieces... i have to say that the tank fuel / seat and tail cowl is almost finished... just at 99%.

At the moment i don't think about the price if it will be released... but of course will be a special offer for these persons who have answered regularly to this thread and they have supported me. Also you know Rod i always say the same.. don't worry some day you will find a box in your home with a nice surprise in the interior

Tomorrow pictures!

Re: Aprilia RS Cube '04 1/12 scratchbuild

Hey Roca,

The Cube is really coming along nicely, not that I didn't think it would. I really look forward to seeing the updates and you never fail in impressing me with your work.

The swing arm is looking fantastic in its finished form and I can't wait to see the fairing, tank/seat completed and sitting on the frame.

Keep up the great work and I'm anxously looking forward to the next installment.

Dave

Re: Aprilia RS Cube '04 1/12 scratchbuild

Roca, a possibly dumb question...

After finishing the work on the cowls, you will cast them in resin to have 'clean' parts for the final assembly, right?
I sure would love to see photos of the process...

Your job is just incredible. It's a bit dumb to say it again and again, but there are not other words watching at this

Yep, also with parts like the frame.. that they are very delicate i should make a copy in resin and improve the piece to make the final mold, on example is the frame... the angles (in the corner) needs more work and they are delicate and thin so once time the frame is in resin will be more easy to finish it.

This evening i should make the final molds of the seat/tank fuel cowl , the front fender, the rear arm, the engine block/head.

In a few hours more pictures!

Re: Aprilia RS Cube '04 1/12 scratchbuild

Hello Roca #46,
considering how long you have been doing this, you must have the patience of Mr Micalangelo(?), but he was taking much longer and his boss was the Pope, lol.
I am sure one day soon, maybe we will see a similar masterpiece! great work mate ;-) Rod.

Re: Aprilia RS Cube '04 1/12 scratchbuild




This pictures maybe will be the last ones that you can see for a long time...

Seriously i'm thinking to retire of the Modelergp 2006 this bike is killing me.. is burning my head , here is a lot of work to do and the 12 of September i start again the school course, so i only have a month to do all...
It's probably that the bike will show only the exterior part... without engine if i can finish all the body at time.

Of course i not leave the bike in the future will be finished and for sure copied in resin but for this period if i can not finish the bike for the ModelerGp i will make some kits to relax.

See again soon.

Roca.
