YAMAHA YZR-M1 2005 No.5 [1/12 tamiya]

Hi, workmates!

I joined AF recently and this is my first thread in WIP.

I'm a Korean and not good at writing in English(actually speaking is worse...) because it's my second language. I hope your understand on this.


This is my recent completed bike YAMAHA M1 No.5 of 2005 season.

I used tamiya kit(1/12) + topstudio's detail set & chain set, and gunje & tamiya paint basically.


Tamiya kit

Added carbon decal on each parts. I used KA model's cabon decal. They are printed by cartograph and very nice to work.

https://public.sn2.livefilestore.com/y1pTiqdpH44eN71rOoTzBpEGhsdxxEY1laq7vbNowNinwamqz6 HW0cV8EzqtdgzJHR9-_p2p_JmJx85bEkooJitNQ/126.jpg?psid=1

As I planed to display this bike open the cowlings, inside of some cowlings had to be carbon fibred.

https://public.sn2.livefilestore.com/y1pTiqdpH44eN4H-gJGBkOh5G4pP5JwiPA_ahEZzk6o4wmEyJp0BO62pM3vWML-iB3hnLgqsvVfohvmRtHVVJNDOg/128.jpg?psid=1



Some carbon parts need to be added carbon decal on both side.

Made wheels.

They need some weathering job.




Added some details on handle part.

http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_250368/200806/1214160117_DSCN3323.jpg




Put the engine on the sash.

http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_250368/200806/1214160117_DSCN3325.jpg





And making chains.

I compared three chains - Tamiya's original, Model Factory Hiro's and Topstudio's.

http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_250368/200806/1214660027_DSCN3310.JPG




Tamiya's has poor detail(actually it's not bad) but is very cheap and easy to make and install.

Topstudio's is very expensive and difficult to make and install, however has very nice detail.

MFH's.... I think it's nearly impossible to make the chain neat. It's a nonsense. Additionally, very big.

http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_250368/200806/1214665377_DSCN3335.jpg

Silver is MFH's and gold is TS's.


http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_250368/200806/1214665377_DSCN3334.jpg

http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_250368/200806/1214665377_DSCN3339.jpg

White metal part is MFH's and PE part is TS's.



So... I decided to use TS's chain.

Making the chain was very difficult, however, the detail compensated all the effort.

http://blogfile.paran.com/BLOG_250368/200806/1214666231_DSCN3332.jpg



However, installing the chain through the swing arm was another big job.

It took me almost 2 hours.


At last....

First of all, welcome!
Great start, clean work and great photos. I think you overdid the wheathering on the exhaust but overall detailing is super!
/Joel

I got this kit in my stash, and will be looking forward to your build. Welcome to AF, and thanks for sharing.

BTW Great work!!

Looks like you are going to have and excellent bike when you are done! Welcome to AF!

Mark

Welcome to AF. This is a great kit and your work on it is very clean and tidy. Your efforts on the Top Studio chain are also well rewarded. It looks like you didn't have any trouble with the assembly at all. Mine just fell apart and really frustrated me. What do you plan to use the MFH chain on?

First of all, welcome!
Great start, clean work and great photos. I think you overdid the wheathering on the exhaust but overall detailing is super!
/Joel


I agree on Joel. You did a good job so far on the model but I'm also not a fan of the heatstaining. But overall the model looks great.

Thanks for your kind welcome.

The wheathering on the exhaust is always difficult. During painting, it's not easy to stop at the proper moment.:frown:

And I don't want to start all procedures from the first.

I just keep the MFH's chain in my stash. I think I should return it to my friend.


By the way, I cannot see how to use the multi-quote function.

I just cut and paste and alter the name in the first tag.

It stood alone with it's own two wheels.

Made electronic device parts from Topstudio.

Making those parts and wiring were very difficult because of the poor instructions. As TS only provided several photos of assembled model I had to refer the photos of real M1.

Continued the wiring...

As I used the CA, one mistake could ruin the bike.

Thank you for your comment, eFWoRKs.

Yes, I completed this bike some months ago and they posted the photos on Topstudio's customer gallery. I appreciate your remembering it.

Now I've posted more photos on AF and you can find them on "completed projects/gallery".

Sorry for posting old photos on WIP. I will post my current WIP project soon.

A very good job on the build - What brand "manufacture" are the exhaust springs?

I took these photos when I made another bike. This time I used silver wire and could save time for painting.

I saw the completed bike on TS site and here.... but never saw this thread... man the tips you show are priceless!!!

DaveT

Wow im so stupid would have never thought of doing the wled that way. I always manage to sand down the weld mark as the exhuast typically are two parts. Thanks for the tip. Also the spring looks as good as aftermarket ones.

What size are those wires for the spring? Or are they just out of something electronic.

Thank you for your comment.
I don't know the exact size because I used the wire attached to some kind of name tag. I cannot measure it. About 0.3mm?
However, you can get the thin siver wire from the computer data cable such as a printer cable.

Hello, friends! Long time no see!

As you maybe aware, this bike has been finished except some cowlings.

However, I want to display the bike naked in the pit, and I'm making the yamaha team's pit box.



First, I bought topstudio's stand.

I need to make small tools and finish the other cowlings.

Comments are welcome.

you're so creative...
2 thumbs up..
:D:D

Looks convincing, nice idea on the display

Your work and patience is stunning. This bike is completely beautiful. The pit display area is a great idea too and is fitting for a bike so well built.

Could you show us, new at modeling, how you make the wire connection with resin parts, like the sensors etc. Is not just gluing the wire to the resin part... they look covered with shrinking tube.... correct? They are so a clean connections... love the red, green and blue color paint detailing at the connections. Great job! Please show us how. Will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your comment. I think I can show the connection in my next WIP post. It is just gluing the wire to the resin part, but I put brass pin to the resin part and glue the wire.

wow, perfect job, impressive, amazing :)

Perfect job!!! Awesome!!!

I basically use Gunje Sanyo's Mr. color. I added some white to super black and silver(No. 8 maybe).

And those tools.... I just cut and carved PS plate and vended brass beams... and painted them.

I don't know exactly about the tubing. They are so complecated and few photos on tubing. And it's very difficult for me to explain in English.

You can get many tips at this instruction.

http://www.topstudiohobby.com/instruction/MD29009_instruction.pdf

It's not the same version but I think they must have same machanical mechanism.
