  1. Nice work. Interested to see how you tackle that Top Studio chain.
  2. Does it have the really early beaver tail though? Can't really tell from the pics.
  3. Thanks for all the comments. Just sanding and a wash to get rid of the mould release.
  4. Here's my Ducati 916 from Tamiya. Chain is the Hobby Design Panigale set and I've used the Blue Stuff detail set.
  5. That's a fantastic build. What colour did you use for the blue?
  6. Here's what I've done so far. The chassis and interior is done. I've replaced the seats with Veneno ones pulled out of a failed build. Colour is Verde Ermes from Splash paints.
  7. I have the Model Factory Hiro set as an option but their supplied sprockets are cast white metal full of bubbles. Another option is to go down the 3d print route.
  8. On the bench right now I have Tamiya's Ducati 916 and Desmosedici. I've used parts from the Blue Stuff detail set for the 916 and various Hobby design and Top studio parts for the Desmosedici. I still have to source a chain for it though.
  9. I agree. There's a range of great quality alternatives readily available.
  10. I just received this email from Gravity Paints (US). All I can say is where is the popcorn
  11. That is the best scheme for this classic bike. Nice build!
  12. That carbon finish came out great! I did the same for my sesto elemento build. A lot easier than decals for sure.
  13. That would be a photo etch piece, which I spun on my dremel to get the circular scratches. I used the Hobby Design etch set.
  14. Thanks for the comments. I think it's due for another MotoGP machine from Tamiya, something left field like a Suzuki or KTM.
  15. Just finished this great kit from Tamiya with Museam Collection decals. The decals were pretty bad, thick and oversized. I would recommend spraying the silver and make your own green strip decals. I used Gunze super fine silver which matches the decals.
  16. Nice! If that's verde ermes then that's the colour I've chosen for mine.
  17. This one was pretty much out of the box with the Aoshima detail set of course. No carbon anywhere so it was a pretty quick build. The only issue was the rear bumper which was a bit of a hassle to fit and the side windows. Next build I'll be test fitting it before any paint. The paint was Gaianotes Ex-1 white under Mr Crystal Color diamond silver pearl.
  18. I've only built the Tamiya version and it has typical great fit and accuracy.
  19. I've just received mine at it looks like you almost get a complete R4 and R2 dome. You just need the ring, circular base and one of the eye sensors. I think it could be easily accomplished, either through casting or 3d printing.
