2009 YZR-M1 test bike/ Lorenzo WIP

[MarcoMoto]

Thanks safetyfast! It was my first '09 M1, so plenty more to do
in the stash... the CF made the build around twice as difficult.
But I was obsessed... Marco

Nice work. This model'll also build up Lorenzo collections

[MarcoMoto]

Thanks Wita! Agree, we need more Lorenzo, (and other) collections...
So I'll have to learn to build much faster!

[Wita]

What a carbon decals did you use? Thank you.

[MarcoMoto]

Thanks, Wita! I used ScaleMotorSport.com 1/20 scale carbon twill weave,
Amazing product, very easy to use...

Although building exclusively bike kits for more than ten years I'm no able to get in to my head how to do these full carbon builds. I can't see how to fit one piece all around the rear cowl or over the side cowls with those air inlets. Simply amazing and much respect towards you that make it work!

[MarcoMoto]

Thanks, Joel! It is not that difficult, and NO PART can be done with just one decal, unless it is nearly flat! The side panels require 5 pieces each, for example..
I wish this forum had Group Builds, because you learn a lot that way. Next time I do a series of carbon parts, I will share my WIP method with all of you.. Marco

[joelwideqvist]

Please do so Marco! It would be very nice to see how you do it. But I must add that I've seen builds where side cowls had been done with one piece of cf decal!
