Hi all so I decided to get this out of the garden shed and rebuild it. I'm actually a bit further on than the start as for a while for some unknown reason I couldn't post on here.
Anyway heres how it looked out of the shed.

And here is where it's going so far (I must say I think I'm getting better at making plastic look like metal)

Next update (I wish I'd kept the instructions) I'm quite pleased with how it's going so far.

I see you're still doing the photo-shop stuff, even though you admit being caught out. ::)
;) ;D
Should be good after a quick refurb! :smiley: :smiley:

Old habbits ;D

Hi all started the first bit of surgery on the Ducati (no going back now)
(https://i.ibb.co/MSm7vNK/IMG-4112.jpg)
I just hope the new paint job works.
I put a 1/9 bike in front of this behemoth to show how big it is.

I'm aiming for a subtle shade paint job, a sort of echo back to my favourite bike I ever owned (not a Ducati who could afford one) but my beloved honda 750 K4 (I know they didn't do it in the colour I'm depicting but I'm hoping the subtle added shade will work)
-
Hi all started the paint job, unfortunately it's a bit too subtle (I wanted a slight orange tint to the black paint job so went for alclad clear orange) 6 coats and you can only barely see it (not at all in the photos) so I will have to rethink and try another method.

It looks amazing ... and huge! But, you're right. No real hint of orange there :(
-
I think that’s a real bike surrounded by oversized objects!
Amazing work! If you want you could just go with the black paint job. It looks fantastic.
-
Looks like a suitable 50-to-60cc bike for a 4-to-5 year old. ;)
True, can't see the orange but that's an excellent gloss finish! :smiley:

More work on the Ducati I must say I do prefer the new colour scheme and the look of the cut down fairing.

Well it's done and I must say I prefer it to the blue.

Ooh, shiny! :D
Certainly looks meaner all in black. Great rebuild, mate! 8)
-
Terrific job!
-
It's a big sucker.
Nice work
-
Very nice! Yes, black looks the business. Somehow just more serious than the blue :smiley:
-
That's pretty darn amazing. 8) With some forced perspective trick photography, it would be just about indistinguishable from the 1/1 bike. :icon_beer:

Thanks guys.
