Progress: MV Agusta 750 Senna

[Tikiman]

This is my first progress thread as I'm never sure how things will turn out. If there are no updates then i have probably got pissed off with it and smashed it to bits. Thanks you for looking.

This is just the front and rear wheel and associated parts so far. The model by the way is made by Protar (high quality) and is the Senna version in 1:9 scale. I was going to use a diferent colour scheme, but will actually do it the proper colours.




This is after step 4 and 5 in the instructions. The engine is now complete. After taking the photos i realised that i should have sanded the mold lines off from the exhaust pipes, but I'm not doing them again so i will continue and remember it for the next bike i do.





I have also painted the frame, ready to take the engine and swing arm.



Here i have put together the engine, swing arm and front fork on the frame. Not much left to do now.

The chain is made up of 144 parts and and is fully articulated. Dunno about you but i thought that was a pretty cool feature.


A close up of the swing arm with the chain on.


........and a picture of the whole thing so far.


Nearly finished. Just some small details and then these parts will all be put together.

Here is the cowling primed with Tamiya matt white spray paint (couldn't get any Tamiya primer).



And here it is painted the proper colours.







This is a reworking of the original thread. Just to neaten it up a bit and get all the images in the same thread.

playing CS while takin the last pic huh?

[Tikiman]

Indeed i was. Have been playing it most of the time i have been making the model. Get killed. Make some of the model. Respawn. Get killed............. You get the picture. Condition Zero by the way. Very observent of you.

And from the looks of it, might is be de_aztec? I'm a fellow CS player as well, but have been too preoccupied latly by school and such

[Tikiman]

I can't remember which map it is now, but you're probably right, as that one is very popular. I play it way too much. I used to play Raven Shield, but CS is much more fun. Which servers are you usually on? I try to get in BadAss and rogue.

I am looking forward to getting Juiced at the moment. Looks like it will be rather cool.

OK I was a bit confused, but now I get it :-) new thread. I see that you are going very well on this one, I like the paint job. Could you do a close up of completed bike without fairings (last picture) I would like to check some things as I am about to buy this one to.

[Tikiman]

Which bit would you like to see in particular? I'll take some pics for you.

[sjelic]

Completed bike without fairings, if it is not to big problem, thanks :-)

[Tikiman]

[sjelic]

Yes that one but a bit bigger, now I am being pain in the ass :-) sorry

[Tikiman]

LOL. Not at all.

[Tikiman]

Is this the sort of thing you wanted? I took the cowling back off, but the fuel tank/seat are glued in place.

[sjelic]

Yes that's it, thanks a lot just the thing I needed . I might say that this pictures relly show how good this thing is and how well you have made it, well done indeed.
Thank you once again for shareing.
