slice Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I like the graphics, are they new ones or old stock? Looks like they did back in the 70s/80s nice job. My back wont take a rigid frame anyway but that is RIDICULOUS!!! Just joking looks like you have spent some time and money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campaman Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Looks good, and I can see your airbrush in the first picture. What paint did you use? I have 4 airbrushes that I use for modelling, its surprising what you can achieve with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatBob Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Not a fan of the design personally but looks like the paint was nicely laid - looks similar to a traditional Yamaha scheme from the 70s though. What sanding process do you use between coats? Are you using acrylic blue fine line masking tape for your edges or just normal white paper based tape? Are you planning on decaling this? I found my paint jobs looked a million times better once I started doing three things: 1. warming rattle cans in boiling water. (no air brush for me unfortunately) 2. sanding between coats using fine wet sanding paper and buffing with polishing compound. 3. using high quality fine line masking tape. At first the idea of sanding clear coat seemed a bit counter-intuitive but the professional look you get when it's done is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Tip for sanding gloss coat is to get a sheet of 1200 grit fold it on its self and rub together to make it less rough, spray with water and do 100 strokes on one side of the part and repet all over the part them buff, should then get a nice even finish all over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
