Morning guys.

I've spent the last few evenings getting on with something that I had been putting off, namely the carbon decals. I was quite worried about getting these down well, particularly around the complicated shape of the cowling but I'm actually very pleased with the result.

I'm going to get the other various decals down next then apply the gloss.

Thats a lot of carbon fibre ! How many pieces were there?

 

[outrunner]

As someone who is in amongst real motorcycles almost daily that looks like the real thing, a credit to your building skills, well done you!


Andy.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.

Steve, 49 pieces in total, around 25 of which were for the cowl.

Hi Bob
Wow! That looks superb. I can imagine the care and patience needed to get those decals on.

Absolutely top drawer decal work Bob. Just superb.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers gents.

Late in in this Bob. A great job on the decals and they do look like the real thing. A great job on the whole build too. Are you glossing it to keep them from lifting? Or for some weathering?

Prost
Allen

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Allen.

Yes, partially to seal them in but also to give it a high gloss, showroom finish. No weathering on this one, other than the engine.

 

[Ian M]

That is awesome work Bob.

Just caught up with your build Bob and wow, this is seriously top drawer modelling. The detail is superb and your paint job really shows it to great effect.

Cheers gents.

Morning guys.

My braided hose finally arrived so I have been able to start putting parts together.

I still have a little bit of detail painting to do, including heat staining the exhaust.
