Re: Guzzi Special Café Racer

Thanks to everyone!!!

I detailed the engine with a lot of thin copper wire.
I scratched a new steering ammo and a new stand using brass, plasticard and steel.

I also modified the light support making it more similar to the real one

Re: Guzzi Special Café Racer

Then tire change pit-stop.

However the rear tire was slightly large, so I added a thick plasticard all around the rim. Now I'm able to mount the tire I want!

Re: Guzzi Special Café Racer

Yes, I hope the next step is colour.. before I've to sand every part and scratch some details.

I scratched a new rear light using plasticard, aluminium foil and steel wire.
I've also added a brass tube on the frame, making it more strong and realistic.

Re: Guzzi Special Café Racer

Painting..
I started with a gloss black base on the tank and on the tail.
When it is dry, I'd like to spray alclad chrome on the tank, but on the top of the tank there will be a checkered flag pattern in transparency, so I started painting the chess.
Also I've done the front and rear wheel.
They have been sprayed with matt black and then ts-39 mica red.. Now they seems anodized.

Re: Guzzi Special Café Racer

I`m not really a "wauw!!!" poster. I always try to give a usefull comment. I don`t have one here. This is one of the most "Bad-ass" bike i`ve seen build in a long time. Great topic

Re: Guzzi Special Café Racer

Then I worked on the exhaust system: I added an adhesive gauze around the exhaust manifolds
