Keep going, keep going......

Can I ask you, what references are you using from T2M bolts, to get the correct size for 1/12..?
Thanks for it.
Regards from Spain.

I didn't use T2M bolts, only for the chain tensioner. The other are PE bolts from Top Studio and Hobby Design.
Thanks

I'm thinking about to buy a nicolecron sheet too and make again the fairing....let me know how the decal conforms to the surfaces , expecially the rear cowl....

While adding some PE bolts trying to find a new method to make the seat neoprene pattern.... hope it will works!

Andrea - Thanks for sharing your motorcycle builds with the forum - they all turned out very well done. Also you helped with many answers for others that are waiting to build these models. - John

I go ahead with this WIP instead to open a new one as I'm building another Laguna Seca M1 for a friend of mine. It will be a new bike with a Top Studio detail set with the old (my) liverie.
A new liverie for mine will be made with nicolecron decal.

Wheel and sensor




steering dumper


rear wheel (the chain tensioner is not very clean as I had some problem to cut the palstic one)



engine with detail



handlebar



metal exhaust (a nightmare to paint )

coming along nicely Andrea - please continue with many pictures - john

[andrew59it]

Going ahead with decals.... these are better than S27 but some problems with the black lines going from the front fairing to the side fairing. Short and curved.... I will have to work on them...







the wrong lines:

In the meanwhile I ended the Rossi's helmets.







I have made the 2 side pods with plasticard...









There is to retouch the black color around the front opening. I used an acrylic clear paint as 2K seems to much for me ,too thick....

[John18d]

Nice work with the decals Andrea - it is not easy to get them to work just right - well done on the helmets - John

[andrew59it]

First helemt done.... the shield has been deepened into future...
