Hi ya all!! The bike is finished and I’m stoked!







All that’s left is the base/case to house it.

Thanks for watching! :vulcan_salute:t3:

That looks fabulous. It really looks the part and if you took some photos outside on the tarmac I am sure it would pass for it.

cheers

The Ducati is officially finished, mounted and boxed!


Thanks for the support and kind words.

My next build will be nautical themed. Haven’t built anything nautical since my mid teens.

Really nice work with this. Colours look amazing and the show case sets it off perfectly …

Never been a huge Duke fan (after I creamed in on one lol), but looking at it makes me want to go and buy another Honda SP1 or 2 … ah, those were the days lol

Nice case Gavin . Looking forward to your next effort. I’ve been toying with the idea of a marine subject myself.

Hi, I’m new here and have just found this amazing thread. The results are fantastic.

I am building the Tamiya 1199 Panigale S and it’s going ‘reasonably’ well. I found the aftermarket disc brakes from Top Studio incredibly fiddly, but they’re just about Ok!

However, whilst gluing up one of the wingmirrors I have made an absolute mess of gluing the clear plastic lens in place. I think I have used too much glue and it has dissolved the mirror paint on the inside and has effectively ruined the lens. It looks a right mess.

This is along shot but does anyone know of a supplier where I could source a replacement? Unlikely I know, but I’m desperate! (Trouble is I need a new lens, light behind, and the mirror body!

Thanks, Peter

Try Tamiya for replacement parts .

And next time just use a sparing amount of plain white glue.

Cheers, I’ll give it a whirl.

Thanks. Does this mean that Tamiya cement is a no-no for the clear plastic? By white glue do you mean pva cement?

Thanks again.
