on to the tires,I sanded them with 80 grit ,wich at first might sound a bit much but imho it simulates aggressive race wear perfectly.Then I inked the edges to replicate the heat blueing and then blended it down to the desired effect with a soft cloth.
been a productive day of building here is the progress so far
attached up the swingarm and started the front assembly.
fork set ready to go and its on its wheels !
put her clothes on for a trial fit
on to the pipes,started out with a base of gold then dullcoat
then brushed on some aluminum plate metalizer and burnished it in with a soft cloth
decanted some candy blue and faded the fronts of the exhaust then high lighted the welds and tight bends where the heat tends to build
then did the same with some candy red
ready to hang
and there on
had to revise the paint on the pipes forgot to add the blend between the red/blue fade
onward to the body work now
finished

Howdry Trey,
All I have to say is that is one Bitchin build my friend..!! I love your attention to detail especially with the tire wear effect and the exhaust..
As the inking on the tyres.. What colours did you use? Blue n red?
I have a few bikes in my stash and after seeing BP's and yours, the itch increases.. Thank you for sharing!!
Flaps up,
Mike

If you would listen to everybody about the inaccuracies, most of the kits on your shelf would not have been built Too Close For Guns, Switching To Finger
