Hi everyone;
Seeing as though the RC211V group build has died a bit, how about we start again with a moto GP group build. You could bring your projects over from the RC211V build, and you could start a new build if you want. I thought it would be better to combine the RC211V and Yamaha M1 GB’s instaed of having two seperate ones. Here’s a badge you can use in your signature if you want:
I have a Tamiya YZR-M1 that I’ll build for it. I have the spiderman decals on order for them, so I’ll be ready to go in a few weeks. How about a June 1 start date and finish whenever. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll see if there is enough people to start it up.
this will be my 1st group build ,but i’ll be in.have got heller duke,M1 ,valencia RCV and half way through doing R1 in superbike trim.having a rough time doing underseat exhausts
Hope to join u guys with my M1 and RCV. I once saw the real size M1 which O.Jaques crash during 2003 Malaysian GP that the base primer of the M1 is actualy red primer.

Pingtang you know of course- I’M IN! Got everything together on my Gauloises M1 finally, just need to set aside the time from working on my 1:1 YZF. Might try something new and do two at once. Now just where would I get that Valencia 211v cheap? Also, look for Q’s from me on how to make templates for my C/F decals from the single sheet I have. Can’t wait for this one![:p] OH! Just how do I attach the badge to my sig?
You add an img \img with square brackets around the img-parts and the url of the pic in the .
I’m in, of course! Is this a new GB or continuation of the current one?
Good to see at least three people are interested, and a new guy too…
Yamafreak - To attach the badge to your sig, you need to copy the url into the signature section in your profile. First, right click on the badge in my first post and choose “properties”. Copy the URL then go to “Update profile” at the top of the screen. paste the url into the “signature-text and graphic” space. You’ll need to put [ img] and [ /img] (with no spaces at all) before and after the url.
Seabee - You must have posted while I was writing my novel on how to post the badge. Good to have you here again. I don’t know if this will be a continuation or not. I think a whole new GB will be good. What do the rest of you think?
New? It might motivate me to get my West RC211V finished (about 75% done) and then start afresh on this one. Waiting on my S27 detail set, so I won’t be starting till that arrives, anyways. Decided to give that route a try…
Guys,
I’m really lost at how to post pictures here. BTW, here is the link of thoose GP bikes which I took at Sepang. Pls. help yourself and more is on the way.

All you have to do is, go to your photobucket album and copy the complete line called “img” under the picture you want to post. Then just paste it into your message.
BTW, I couldn’t get to see those pics in your photobucket. It needs a password to get in.
Seabee - I think an all new build would be better too. We don’t have to start straight away, so you’ve got plenty of time. Just let me know when you want to start.
I’v just remodeled my work space so now it’sdoubled in size so i might try and do RCV, M1, and Duke just for change at moment collecting everything for duke ,have a question is the darker colour on this years RCV (max’s bike) a black or a very dark blue or even carbon fiber[?][?][?]
It’s definitely not carbon fibre. It looks like a very dark blue. Each year, the Repsol team seems to be using a darker and darker blue. Looking at pics, it is almost black but there is a definite blue colour in there. Have a look at this photo to see what I mean:

So guys, did you see Tamiya is releasing the Desmosedici??? Good news huh?
Cupcai: That link only takes me to Colins rcv, seems you have to do some updates on the account to let us se other pics…
I too will of coarse lift my builds over to this GB. I’m doing some nice detailing of the forks for the moment.
best regards
Joel
They’re good photos cupcai, thanks for posting them.
Joel - That Desmosedici should be awesome. Can’t wait til it’s released.
My spiderman decals should arrive early next week. Has anyone seen these decals yet? They’re supposed to be really special. I’ll post a pic of them when I get them.
You’re welcome,
Will try to post more picture from 90’s til today. Have to find time to scan all of them though. Loads of NSR and YZR in my collection. Let me know if you guys need some reference.
Count me in too guys. I’ve got my M1 ready and waiting to go. Got the Tamiya Front Fork set through the door the other day, so looking forward to putting that on the bike. Also got my long awaited paint for my RCV (valencia from the GB). Going to make a start on spraying that up today.
Look forward to the 1st![:D]
Joel, where did you see about the Desmo? I checked T’s website and it’s not there yet. BTW-check out the sig, thanks for the tip.
Yamafreak - The pic is from the Tokyo Hobby show. The Tamiya sign is not visible on that pic unfortunately.
/Joel
Pic? What pic? Am I missing something? It’s only May, so the Texas heat hasn’t had a chance to boil my brains yet. I did a Google and couldn’t find tamiya’s Desmo. Pointers?
UHHH…NEVERMIND! Found your thread, Joel! I wonder who’s bike they’re going to do…
