QbanFam Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 This is the first 1/12 motorcycle kit I put together. My previous diorama was a Maisto motorcycle already built. This one is a little over due to all the tiny pieces to put together, but getting a hang of it. This particular model I wanted to take a risk and modify it to look like a bobber. Still work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QbanFam Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Added some rust pigment to the break disks, a wash of light rust acrylic paint (just a wash) and dusted lightly with metal. Edited April 14, 2022 by QbanFam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a little difficult, but my wife just got me a set of magnifying modeling glasses so I can see the details better. Maybe my next model will be more detailed.

QbanFam Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Trying out some weathering colors. Not blended yet, just starting to apply them. We’ll see if I can make this mess look a little better. Also, trying to figure out how to make the seat look less like plastic and a little more natural.

QbanFam Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 More weathering done. A few more details. My first kit I painted and assembled. I love that you can paint the parts individually and have so much more details than the diecast pre made kits. Lots of mistakes I learned from. But, lots of fun.

The cables keep coming off. I’m might just replace them with wires, drill and slide them in with glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Yes I did that and it worked, unfortunately having a garden cabin, the door was open a few days later and blew the whole thing onto the floor. So most of the build is in pieces and the chain, which was the first hurdle is also in about 40 bits! So back in the box for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
