Frank KrauseWow, great bikes! I love the Ninja!
I'd better don't show this my wife. She used to ride a 1200 Yamaha and is therefore motorcycle fan, but when she'd login to Scalemates, she could also see my stash... 🙁 Better not...

neil kerrthanks I admire what you guy do with weathering no need for the bikes as they always look pristine. I do a bit on the exhausts blueing and welds but I am still learning so I think the next stage will be trying to get a carbon fibre weave correct. I was thinking of a black base coat then applying a very fine mesh as a mask and painting mettalic grey in the mesh gaps.Do you think this might work. I do not want to go the way of fine detail kits Iprefer to hand paint

Dirk HeyerHi Neil,
pls show us more details of your amazing models! Sadly we don´t have a lot of modeller of motorcycles here on SM.
I will try to built one of this amazing kits in future! So it would be great to hear and learn more of this fine stuff! 🙂
And does n`t matter if they looks always pristine, it must be so...
🙂

neil kerrnew pictures,decided to de chrome the frame and swing arm and go for the polished aluminium look

Alexander Aristides CronvallNice work 👍 always nice to see a well built tamiya bike come to life.
13 January 2013, 18:37
neil kerrdon't know what colour to go for either gloss alu or silver leaf the actual bike looks nothing like Tamiya's chrome plating as its just polished alu
13 January 2013, 19:10
neil kerrMarkus I have attached a photo of the actual bike so you can see what I mean about frame/swingarm colour. Any suggestions to colour?
14 January 2013, 09:29
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchAhhh,Ok.
Its a very flat finish compared to the tamiya chrome.
Perhaps can the Aircraft Mates help you with the right color (alclad or so)
If the bike was green ,i would suggest tamiya olive drab😉
And if you want to weather it ,just call 🙂

Dirk HeyerI`ve found two built models:
zero-paints.com/phot..ro-Paints/Rc211v_002
and here you have to search for Honda RC211V `06 and to open the pdf file 🙂
modelers-network.com..honda-rc211v-06.html
Have fun, Neil

neil kerrDirk not quite as chrome as the original Tamiya part tho. That is just to shiny
14 January 2013, 12:36
Dirk HeyerYes you are right!
Have a look on the Zero homepage. They produce only colours for Bikes and car models!!
Maybe they have some suggestion for you?

neil kerrexhaust painted and welds added. Do you think I have blued them too much? I tend to get carried away with it.
18 January 2013, 09:54
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Neil
I think it should look like this.

In my opinion you did it well.
18 January 2013, 11:01
neil kerrman they are top notch. although they are chrome exhausts. Man I am so jealous but it gives me something to aim for
18 January 2013, 11:14
Dirk HeyerCool stuff!!
I like bikes as models. They show us so many details in 1:12, looks so great! You must have a lot of fun to built such a kit!
The burning effect on exhausts is truly realistic!
I`m infected of bike virus as I examine your threat!

neil kerrcheers Dirk get yourself a model bike and try it out. I am starting to get the itch for tanks but it will be like starting as a novice, I have no idea of armour build and weathering at all.
19 January 2013, 17:12
Dirk HeyerI will try it out!
Will have a look in eBay for Tamiya bike models! 🙂

neil kerrok thanks but so new to this, what is dry brushing? Do I paint x19 on the keep brushing to thin it out?
22 January 2013, 08:34
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHave a look here,Mate!
scalemodelguide.com/..al-info-drybrushing/
This are two parts (one step by step)
22 January 2013, 08:58
neil kerrok I get the idea but do not understand the paint wheel. On gold leaf what colour would be best?
22 January 2013, 13:08
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchGot you some metallic black? It could look like some wear and tear.But the brush must be very dry .
Try it often with more steps .Not to much paint in one try.
Try it on a spare part first if you not shure.
22 January 2013, 16:47
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchBut only the edges and details (bolts ,nuts) drybrush.
22 January 2013, 17:01
