Nice work Sandro - love the helmet - do you have dimensions for the rear wheel starter box?? can you send them to me or post them?? Also like the detail off the "soft" tire selection. The white needs to be toned down a little though. Also the decal work on the helmet was excellent - it's difficult to get those decals to work well. Good pictures too. Keep up with the pictures and the postings - John

Thanks everyone for the comments :biggrin:

John, sorry for the delay in answering you, when did StartBox drew what I wanted on paper, and was not thinking. I used to do StartBox Tamiya plastic sheet of 1.00 mm.

Sandro - thank you for posting your dimensions for the starter box - I am sure many others wanted to see these. Also thank you for the notice that you have separated the Yamaha M-1 builds so that we may follow them. Your model skills are outstanding and I only hope my versions will come out something like your fine examples - John

Sandro - absolutely stunning - your starter box is the best A+++++. Also the M-1 is coming along nicely - which decals did you use for the starter box? - Thanks - John

Thanks John, I had over a pack of Camel decals.

Front wheel disc brakes with steel, used in rain.

Sandro - absolutely flawless paint work - love the rain "stainless steel" brakes. your attention to detail I have mentioned before, but it is astounding. I look forward to each time you post a further development. What type of camera do you use? John

Sandro your job is fantastic, but the disks in the front wheel are wrong. Where the disk attaches to the black rotor there are no bolts, I don't know their name but there are some cylindrical connection with a hole in the middle. With so much attention to details I suggest you to correct them. :thumbsup:

Andrea - you are correct the "full floater" steel brakes use a button circlip retainer system to mount the disk to the carrier. still I think Sandro did a great job on the brakes - it is not easy to assemble the Geronimo brakes - I have a set and I have looked at them to determine how difficult and time consuming it is to do it. The parts can be quite small and my eyes are not as good as they were when I was younger. - John

I have built them for my Ducati GP4. It was a long job but it was worth it. I have made some circle with a punch set, glued them on the disk and from the rear made the holes like in the picture.

That is a clever way to achieve the correct look of the brakes - thank you for sharing that Andrea - John

Thank you, Andrew and John, is really wrong, had not noticed this error, the wheel is already mounted on the motorcycle I'll try to fix it.

Good job on the disk now! And beautifull Yamaha! :thumbsup:

Excellent way to fix the disc Sandro - I was going to suggest that but I did not want to influence any decision to drill them like Andrea did. The overall finish of the bike and diorama set up is brilliant - John

Sandro - I think I asked before, but I cannot find the posting answer you sent - what company are the "rivets" screws - that you are using on the body work - like on the front wheel fender?? Thank you again - John

SandroSilva

11-25-2011, 07:56 PM

John, I used screws Hobby Design of 1.2 mm.

Beautiful work!
Where did you get the blue Camel lettering that you've used on the legs of the figurine?

I found the rider decal set from Hobby Design.
How did you redo the figurine? Did you paint over the "Team"-marking on the legs of the figure? Looks great!

SandroSilva

11-10-2012, 07:46 PM

That's right Joel, first I scraped the decals carefully, then painted again in color and added the decal from Hobby Design.

Great project! I would also want to buy and modify a Yamaha early next year, but need to focus on my Mazda 3 for now. Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring man!
