Ducati 999 Imola Concept Bike

[ALEX GAROLI]

Hi everyone, this is my latest build, well, re-build.
I called it Ducati 999 Imola Concept, it is supposed to be a show bike, or a open track bike, its more a concept than a real bike.
I used a New-Ray die-cast 1/12 Ducati F05 Xerox.






The bike features:
-scratchbuilt single swing arm (DUCATI MH900e type)
-scratchbuilt exhaust pipes
-scratchbuilt exhaust heat protector
-scratchbuilt seat
-modified shock absorber (and moved left side of the bike)
-modified rear rim
-modified tail section
-modified fuel tank
-modified front fairing
-modified winshield
-modified, lateral fairings
-modified front fender
-modified bike stand
-added red cables
-added mesh grilles
-custom painting
also:
-scratchbuilt show stand
-scratchbuilt show barrier








Here is the comparation with the original model:









Here is the comparative with my other Ducati 999, I tought it was an agressive looking bike, but the Imola is much more agressive and aerodinamic looking:




Here it is with its street sisters:

And here it is with its Superbike Racing sisters:

Im planning buildind diorama, of a Ducati booth, to put there my modified Ducatis, like a aftermarket Ducati kit show booth, and build some modified fairings, single side swing arms and bike stands to put there too.



Here is the bike stand, it is 3mm glass and 3mm styren:


Anf finnaly it goes to the shelf.
Im planning to modify the Vespa scooter and the Suzuki ATV Camo you see left on top of the shelf:

Here is the WIP:

That looks really nice for a bike that was mostly scratch built and parts taken from other bikes.
I liked it the best when you put it on the stand with the red tape around it. Really looks like a show bike then.

Only thing thats bothering me is the seat. Perhaps use black leather?

An excellent piece of work.

Thanks for the coments, yes I know in black leather would look good, but this is supposed to have retro fatures, so I tried to imitate the material in the Ncr New Blue, is like velvet, some MV Agustas have the same fabric in their seats, take a look:
