Hi All,
Wanted to share my progress on my first attempt at a motorcycle model. This is only my second model I have ever built. My first was an airplane model. It is not nearly as nice as the ones I have seen on this forum, but I am happy with the results given my rookie status. I have learned alot from some mistakes. This is the Italeri Ducati Monster S4 Fogarty that I am trying to make look like my own Ducati Monster.
great…looks neat, i do lots of bike models too…e-mail dnaxpress76@yahoo.com
This is your SECOND model?
Holy moly…you’re certainly on the right track, mate…looks great - very clean, sharp and tidy - nicely done.
Very impressive…only one thing that might help a little…take some 800 grit sandpaper and lightly rub the tires with it…takes off the shiny look, and makes the thing look more realistic.
If you have a look at any tire on a car or a motorcycle, the bit that actually comes in contact with the road is “scrubbed”…making it rather dull and scuffed compared to the sidewall…
Other than that, what you’ve done so far is rather impressive, compared to the second model of 99% of everyone else’s models…I remember my second model…and yours is about 9000% better than my second attempt.
Keep posting pics as you progress.
Thanks for the pics!
