Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
Those exhaust pipe heads are among the best I've seen on a scale model. Care to give us some tips on how you painted those?

Exhaust is one of the critcal step in my build process. First I paint it with alclad chrome (next time i will try mr hobby super metallic plate silver while alclad is absolutely not touchproof). Than i use very thin tamiya acril clear orange, red, blue and gunze smoke blue on very low pressure. than i use some tamiya burnt red and blue powder. Finally i polish the whole pipe with graphite powder. welding is from S27 chrome decal. spring is 1mm Wave spring (quite hard to form but at the end very nice) hope it helps |

Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
Unbelievably clean build! you have a great eye for detail. Earlier you mention trying Mr hobby super metallic instead of Alclad Chrome, is the mr hobby paint one you have tried before, and if so is it more durable than Alclad, which I find very fragile at times when handled! Also, what does polishing with graphite powder achieve, this is something a friend of mine mentioned, but as yet I have not tried it. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see finished bike.

About graphite powder, i sand some graphite from a normal (soft) pencil, than put the powder onto a soft cloth and "polish" the surface. |

Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
Great Detail Geronimo... some of the best I have ever seen... may I ask why you went with a silver frame versus black??
Was the 05' frame bare aluminum? I want to do the 04' bike and I know it was black... DaveT |

Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
Love the model. Waiting for the next one.
By the way, where did you get the little clamps that you used on the clutchhose? Are they scratchbuild? |

Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
Rennaissance makes those little hose clamps in PE
Hey, I think I just saw your bike in some photos from a Hungarian show this weekend... I assume it's completed... nice job! |
