Test build
I hope you'd like to know that I had a go at the engine this weekend. on the up side, I have almost no complains the instructions were clear and the fit was perfect so far. The only concern is that I think it's a tad too small in scale Parts 91 to 113 gave me nightmares and 177/178 that go with 175/176 are a bit tough at this scale too. I didn't go all the way I'm afraid...I have two pics for you with one of them alongside the MT1 (Which I believe is the level of detail you are aiming for)....So the only thing I'd change about the model is it's scale...Thanks for putting this one up for us

Haha, when I was unfolding the carburetor (parts 91-113), I was thinking people are going to hate this part :D. I'll give it a go at the current scale and see how it turns out. Hopefully it is more manageable at the 1:5 scale. I'm building the rear end of the bike first. I'll post a pic when I finish it. -LD |

haha good to hear btw, is it possible for you to release a lines only version when you make your adjustments? With so many folds and cuts it will be a pain to edge this one. Plus, with a tasteful eye a paint over would be great I think... And can't wait to see your build..at this scale it will be all the more impressive.

I think the term for an untextured paper model would be a 'Vanilla Build' referring to the flavour of ice cream that is the least exciting of all the flavours.
An untextured model is great if a builder was building with coloured paper. Usually like coloured parts are matched on a sheet to save paper. I have noticed a lot of East Asian designers like to use colored paper instead of filling white sheets of paper with ink. |

I case I forgot to mention. That engine build looks great, keep up the good work.

Ok, cool. Thanks for helping to clear the lingo a bit Viraj and Stev0.
As far as edging goes, I've also heard of this called "inking". Same thing I guess. Definitely a pain on small pieces, I agree. Yeah, a lines-only or vanilla version can be made avail for the final model (I'll just toggle the texture on/off in pepakura). I think a dark gray colored paper would be great for most of the bike. Of course different colors would work too. Creativity is always welcome. My test build is going slow. I have the rear wheel and a couple small pieces built but I'm sort of taking a breather from all that effort I spent to release the vanilla model. Maybe in a week or so, I'll be done with the rear end of the bike. stay tuned... -LD |
