David Thibodeau Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Innacurate... but still close to his 2006 GPMOTO ride..... boxstock with Modelers CF editions...... Here it is before installation of all the cowlings..... and with all body work installed........... Thanks for looking!! Dave T
Raul_Perez Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Awesome job, Dave!! The paint, decals and all of the details look GREAT!!
gbritnell Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 You gotta be kidding me right! That's the real bike not a model. Outstanding work. Excellent job on the exhaust and well everything. Love those Tamiya motorcycle kits. gbritnell
cruz Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) Don't believe this guy, he took pictures of the real thing and is trying to take the credit for building it!!!!!!! Edited February 4, 2008 by marcos cruz
Nick F40 Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) NICE Great job, how did you do that discoloration on the exhaust? Even though I'm not a real big fan of him, I do love his paint scheme. If Rossi wouldn't have screwed up, he would had it but, oh well Edited February 4, 2008 by Nick F40
David Thibodeau Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 NICE Great job, how did you do that discoloration on the exhaust? Even though I'm not a real big fan of him, I do love his paint scheme. If Rossi wouldn't have screwed up, he would had it but, oh well Actually I think Rossi has done quite well with Yamaha! The exhaust heat staining is done in 3 parts. First I cleaned them up and painted them with Tamiya GLoss black from the can. Then I coated them with Alclad CHROME. That is key!! Then I masked off the weld seams and shot various shades of tamiya clear orange, Reds, yellows, and blues going off 1:1 pics... key is to NOT overdo it. Thanks all, glad you like it!! DaveT
irender Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Outstanding Dave!.. EXCELLENT! Nice paint work and a clean build.
Wildrice Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Awesome build. I like all the lil details that add to the realism.
Delta88 Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 What everyone else said, (except for the Rossi sniveling ). It's beautiful!
Matt T. Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Gorgeous build! Is there anything you can't build perfectly?
curt raitz Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 I love Tamiya's bike kits...gotta be the best engineered and designed kits on the planet! fantastic build, excellent detail and flawless paint thanx
