Hi! Lots of white stuff here as well. That chain looks incredible! Can you elaborate a little on how you did it? :popcorn:

I painted the chain with a mix of gold and gun metal , it gives it sort of a dirty metallic grey color

looking good

Thank god for snow, level of realism is incredible.

got the engine mounted

What did you use for the air funnels?

at first I was only gonna drill out the molded on part, but I ended up breaking one so I cut them off and just used some aluminum tubing cut to size lol

Beautiful, as always.

quick mock up

the body work is just the bare plastic still, i haven't even filled the seams yet etc... but I will paint the bike a color similar to this, I think it goes well with the red and black

This is turning out beautifully! I too love the realism of that chain. Front brake rotors look A+ too.

make it a stunt bike!! lol

I changed my mind on the color and went with black!

Now I can’t decide if I only want to add the upper part of the fairing with the windscreen and leave the rest naked.

Looks great. very nice color contrast. keep it up!

added front brake lines.

not much left to do now, a few more engine parts, radiator lights etc.
I think I will modify the front fender a bit to make it smaller and only use the windscreen part of the fairing.

Nice work; very nice work.:lol: Just curious: did you clear-coat the cowlings after decaling?:popcorn:

Nice work James. By the way,did you also have problems with the decals?

Mine wouldn't stay put on the model, even with the use of decal solution. I couldn't wait a long time before spraying the clear coat.
