Tamiya Ducati 916 / Marchesini Wheels

[Els46]

Evening all,

 

I'm new here & this is my first post, so thought I'd share something I've been working on for a little while now.

 

2 x sets of Marchesini forged wheels for the Tamiya Ducati 916 kit, designed to be fitted with slick tyres from the Kawasaki H2R kit.

 

I will give them a sand and prime soon.  Any colour suggestions are welcome also 😎 .

Shapeways prints are usually very good. Tolerances are excellent too.

Shapeways are excellent and very good customer service, I decided to use them after seeing your droid print 👍

 

This was my 3rd time sending to print, the previous 2 x were using a London based printers... mixed results, bits broken and no after sales care.

Excellent result, congratulations.

Thank you Colin, I'm looking for a spray booth currently so I can start priming parts and make some headway.

 

Will post updates ASAP.

I got some primer and semi gloss black down today, pleased with the result so far.  Taking my time, priming, sanding, priming... colour.

 

 

I'm debating whether to keep the wheels semi gloss black... or go with one of two golds I picked out.  I am planning to paint the fairings corse / superleggera red.
