Yamaha YZR-M1 2009 (17)

It was yesterday, I got the freshly released front fork set for Tamiya YZR M1 2009. But when I tried to plug into the converted bike, the width for the forks simply didn't fit in. I have no other options but to resume back to the 2005 forks....
Hopefully I will be able to utilise this front forks when I build the Tamiya new M1, upcoming to be released soon.

Yamaha YZR-M1 2009 (16)

Decal works got started, and it is getting more like a M1 now!
But unfortunately, I have ruined a couple of the decals. And I will need to wait until the replacement arrive before I can have the progress continued.

Yamaha YZR-M1 2009 (15)

After a day of fix, paint washed, reprimed, repainted, remasked, repainted again....
I guess I will have the cowling done as the picture shows. I will cover the paints with some metal primerbefore any decal works happen.

Got the cowlings painted in blue now. Hopefully the side cowlings will be repainted again as the shading was not done nice enough.

Yamaha YZR-M1 2009 (13)

After all those tedious finishing work on R1, I can finally get back to this M1 and start the painting job. Actually, some sanding and primer work were done on and off when I was doing the R1. The white base was applied last weekend with Gunze GX-1. And then I had a pearl white coat from Ricebox over the cowlings.

At the same time, I have managed to get a mix of blue paint from Ricebox for this M1. This is the first issue and I am sure it is just he right mix and the color matches any of my references. I will soon get those cowling masked and painted. THis way I can move on to later work sooner.

Yamaha YZF-R1 1998 (9)

Little more progress with this R1 as I have started polishing the cowlings.
I will have some screws on and it will be completed.


SS Pz NCO LAH Kharkov (10)

Finer details have been painted on the uniform. I hope I wil; be able to start working on the scope and the scarf soon now. But there are already a few spots around where I would like to fix a little bit.....

The uniform has been painted with a mix of black, white, red and blue. Highlights and shadows were mildly painted. Finer details will be remarked.

Here is a quick look of what went on today. I have the back of the pants painted as well. So it just leaves some fin details around to get the pants done.

SS Pz NCO LAH Kharkov (6)

At my third attempt, I am starting to feel comfortable with the up and down of the pants.
I have washed the figure twice until I am reaching something like this.
Again, just the front upper part was painted and hopefully when I complete a round trip of the pants, I will go deeper into the fine details. At the moment, I just tried to have the shadows and highlights together first.

I have just started painting the pants for this LAH officer, but it turns out to be one of the most horrible nightmare ever since I experience painting figures....
The white is easily the most difficult color to try on one single pair of pants! I can hardly differentiate the tones of the white paint and I can just do it trial and error every time the brush touched the painting object.
I have spent a couple of hours getting started with the front upper part of the pants and it has been exhausting....
Fortunately, if it turns out that I cannot complete this in white, I will be washing away the paints and turn it into camo, since this is a resin figure! Haha~~!

As the Lorenzo R1 is pending for polishing and I have little intention to jump into the M1 project at the moment, I would like to move back to this wonderful figure first.
For some simple and relaxing 30 minutes, I have managed to give this figure the first face. I have a rough run over it and it will be fin tuned a bit later on.
