YAMAHA tech3 yzr500'01

[auditions]

very cool !!! i really like the blue colour of yours
i am wondering what blue is it that you are using?
cause it seemed more beautiful, sharper than mine.

Since you're building Shinya Nakano's while mine is Olivier Jaques'. Surely it'll be awesome if we could put our build side by side and take pics of them ^^ (mission impossible )

Hello,

I've been working on the bike for a few days now, mostly putting cf on it.

Here some pictures. Some parts are already cleared, other are still to do
For the yellow I used a tamiya spray can.
For the seat I used structure paint from tenco.
Enjoy.

Nice job on the carbon, and the seat texture look great too!

The cf looks great. One question though what technique did you use on the seat?

[YongGun Park]

It's very nice to see your work. Nice color and fantastic CF work.

There is no technique involved. I used structure paint from tenco. You can choose between light grey and black. Just spray it on the object you want from about a distance of 20 cm and let it dry for a while.

The more layers you spray, the more structure you will get. If wanted, you can spray a colour on it afterwards.

Wow i really thought you used microballons or something else. Doesn't look like paint at all. Great job, i still need to get some of that scalemotorsport spray paint.

Not to get too off topic, but is there another option here in the states for "structured" paints? I've used the SMS stuff, but it's expensive and not the best results. Thoughts?

I have no idea. I used Tenco. I think this is a Belgian product but I'm not sure. It costs 15 Euro for 0.5 l spray can.

Ketje,

I wouldn't expect you to know, given you're not here in the states! Just thought some of the other guys might know...

Like the bike! Just got a pitwalk guide for this bike, so I might just have to pick one up on the cheap somewhere. Keep up the good work!

I've been working on the bike for some days and made some progress.
After building a fully detailed M1, this straight from the box YZR500 is a lot of fun to build.
I hope this build will prove that it is also possible off making a nice model straight from the box. The only thing added is the CF decal.


I have the engine mounted in the frame after it received a wash.









Some other parts are finished.



Some progress will follow soon.

[eFWoRKs]

I like the washing effect...

god job mate..
