PatW Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 This I bought through Shapeways, produced by Kingtoys. This is my first, and hopefully not my last attempt at painting a one piece 3D model in 1/24. Do the same as any kit, wash first in hot soapy water and air dry. As these are reasonably soft plastic, acrylic paints are needed. A good undercoat/basecoat. I painted mine with a brush, firstly with a bright yellow gloss, but it dried so quickly it looked rough. The engine/gearbox, seat handlebar grips and tyres are matt black and the rest of the body gloss black. I put Molotow chrome on the exhaust and wheels and as an undercoat for the rear shock and brake light in clear red acrylic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Amazing! Thanks for the extra pics of the real bikes too! Browsing Shapeways often reveals some interesting items, although I've never taken the plunge to buy. You have done a brilliant job of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
