Superb work, Mark. It is always a pleasure to read your updates. I admire your passion for detail and accuracy. It is nice to see that you reworked the front damper threads to achieve a more accurate part.

[M.Boy]

Thanks Mike!
Thank you all.

I bought at a good price on ebay Rossi figure



So I do stunt rider
figure is pretty cool made





There are several places to improve



















figure is quite high and I had concerns about whether it will fit into R1





I hope that it will look good

Looks awesome! Your skills are incredible and it will turn out awesome! Some how the bike shrunk on the pictures with the rider on it.

Thanks,

in the new year I managed to snatch a few extra days off and in the end a little bit longer sit in the model.
I started masking the rear fairing but lay quite a long time, and after removing the adhesive tape Aizu glue was on the paint. So I took off all, polished and made nrew masking. Masked the rest with tape Tamiya and Gunze Mr.Masking Sol









After a few minutes paint and half an hour removing masks





later I was playing with the masking and shading








Shading not knocks but it is not my specialty,
Next I put a layer of Gaia clearcoat and apply decals









decals will cover clearcoat and the next will be add a little dirt
I also started masking the fuel tank

Hi Mark,

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

What a project, unique, individual, personal, ambitious........i'm rarely out of words, but thats what our hobby IS ALL ABOUT!!!! Thanks for showing.

And, hey, your skills are outstanding in every way, never seen such a realistic weathering job, especially on an bike. Just see how the hot, melted rubber parts have been thrown off the rear tyre.

A REAL STUNNER, wow wow.......absolutely amazing. Superb. Thats EXACTLY what i mean when i'm talking about "bringing miniatures to life"!!!!

All the best furthermore
Yours
Jochen

Great work on the bike so far. The more you look the more detail you'll see.

What brand of chain and sprocket are these?


installed a chain and I did a little bit of dirt on a fender and chain,
