AF Newbie....Some completed stuff......

OK guys, as promised here's some of my completed models that I've managed to churn out over the last few years. I'm not a particularly fast builder, but just try to turn out stuff of reasonable quality. Anyhow to start with here's some bikes. These are mainly otb with some small details additions, tabacco markings and carbon decalling where appropriate.


Kenny Roberts 1983 Yamaha from the Tamiya kit and S27 decals....

Hope you like them...any feedback is course very welcome. I'll post some more models tomorrow :smile:

I'm not into bikes as much as cars but these all look absolutely superb to me. You maybe new to this forum but it looks like you're not new to modelling!

I noticed the change in colour on the brake/clutch? lever which looks good in the last picture, how did you get the effect, was it using an airbrush?

Also is the red on the 1983 bike fluorescent, it's difficult to tell in the photos, I never know with Marlboro liveries as they are often fluorescent red.

Darren

This bikes are awesome!

Thanks Darren,

I've been at this for 10 years!!!!

The clutch lever on the Camel bike was simply sprayed titanium silver and coated with metallic bronze and then rubbed off on the outer part of the lever to simulate wear of the anodized finish. Easy as that!

The '83 bike is finished with Tamiya TS36 Flo red, decanted and airbrushed on.


Paul.

wow, what a collection. you sure know how to build 'em!

Well if you ask me, all of your builds are awsome!

Very nice work!
Are you a Biaggi fan? Looks like he's gone from Moto GP?

Beautiful work. Love em all...

Murray

Lovely stuff!

Was the 2001 Yamaha done in TS49? Did not expect it to so close to the TS36...

Thanks Rob,
I'm actually a BIG Rossi fan! Max has used up his opportunities now and there's too many young guys that are hungrier than him. Great rider though.

The 01 bike is done with TS49. The 83 bike is much different in the flesh - the photos make the paint look a little darker.



Paul.

I agree with Viccario, not so much into bikes, but some very nice builds there. Well done.

You've got some nice bikes there, with very fine details!

Stuff of reasonable quality????

Give me a break. This bikes look top-notch to me.
I like Camel honda most.

Great stuff, love the Biaggi Camel one

glad to see you're a big Vale's fan: fantastic guy also for his human's features :) (not sure by the translation)

But concernin your stuff: fantastic, '83 Yamaha was one of my few bike projects, a lot of years ago I done an half disaster: yours're awesome

Nice to see some more bikes, you've obviously got a talent when it comes to building them as the ones you have posted here are stunning, I particularly like the early YZR Yamaha painted in the Marlboro colours. One thing that puzzles me is, why is the front wheel gold and the rear orange?, does it depict a particular race or is intended as a training session version? either way all of them are superb, I am well impressed, 10/10 :iceslolan

The team ran this bike at the 1983 Italian Grand Prix, San Marino.

Here's Kenny on the actual machine.....

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Look fantastic! Keep up the great work!

Fantastic!!! Awesome builds! Your finish is superb and I can see that you have build each of them very carefully to reproduce as real as they can be!
