JHDrew Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Last night I polished out the pearl white paint on the 2011 bike and decided that it would look nicer if I painted the red portions of the body parts instead of using the decals. Plus all the red would match. It turned out that it took less time to paint and looks way nicer. I still have to clean up the small errors and polish the red but I'm happy with the results. Thanks again for looking.
Kanedge Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 These are great, I love building the Moto GP bikes, a lot of fun. Good job.
cruz Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Oh no, a perfectionist among us! :blink: I am going to enjoy this!!! :P Great start!!
JHDrew Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Oh no, a perfectionist among us! :blink: I am going to enjoy this!!! :P Great start!! Thanks Marcos. No, I gave up the perfectionist builds when I turned 50. Not enough time to build those anymore. Now it's just a LOT of detail. I have a ton of stuff not "finished" on these three that will be concealed by bodywork and the rest just cost more money to add.
Mooneyzs Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 This is such an Impressive build. That chain is off the hook.... not only one but to all 3.... Looks amazing!! Great job on these.
JHDrew Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) All the decal work is finished and the body work has all been polished. I have a few details to clean up on the chassis but otherwise I’m down to final assembly for all three bikes. I should be able to get these under glass in a couple of weeks. Here’s the finished decal work on the 2011 bike. So glad I painted the red. It's much better than the decals could have been. Edited April 2, 2012 by JHDrew
Brizio Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 WOW!!! Fantastic job detailing those bikes, and also with all those decals.
JHDrew Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 Well I finally got them all done but wanted to share a quick snapshot of each before I do a full photo shoot and post in the under glass forum. Thanks for following. Here's the 09' bike: The 2010 bike: and the 2011 bike: I am working on a three bike display base for them and will include that in the full photo shoot. Thanks again for following.
