The engine block is made ready according to the package, then with paper mache the curves applied and painted.

Here you can also see how small my model is.

The next is the frame.
this is made of paper lolly sticks
First drawn out through the original photos and from here the frame making.

It already starts to look like it

Interesting, how did you do the bends? did you use steam and bend a bit and more steam until it was at the correct curve?

it is paper you can bend it with your fingers in the desired shape.
Supper handy.

We must report this thread to Yamaha, so they can choose you as their next official model builder. I'm sure you would be much more effective in showing the potential of their cardmodels!

That's a great idea, thanks for the tip.

A small update of my progress.
The frame is so far in place, I am now facing the front fork.
