Looking good. You're doing a great job. Ever thought of doing the real thing?

Hi all started the first bit of surgery on the Ducati (no going back now)

I just hope the new paint job works.

I put a 1/9 bike in front of this behemoth to show how big it is.

I'm aiming for a subtle shade paint job, a sort of echo back to my favourite bike I ever owned (not a Ducati who could afford one) but my beloved honda 750 K4 (I know they didn't do it in the colour I'm depicting but I'm hoping the subtle added shade will work)

Hi all started the paint job, unfortunately it's a bit too subtle (I wanted a slight orange tint to the black paint job so went for alclad clear orange) 6 coats and you can only barely see it (not at all in the photos) so I will have to rethink and try another method.

I had forgotten how big this was Ken! Interesting see what you come up with, always loved your colour schemes and tinkering with bits.

[Guest]

Thanks Si (been a long time since we spoke hows things going for you)
More work on the Ducati I must say I do prefer the new colour scheme and the look of the cut down fairing.

On and off mate, no RC boats at all, apart from I have bought a hovercraft to redo at sometime. Still doing the RC tanks but modelling has really slowed down. Hope and your other half are okay as I know she was struggling a while ago.

Question regarding your Ducati-do you reckon you could fit lights into it?

[Guest]

Nearly done now.

What a beast! I like your mods to the fairings. The dusts and rust weathering gives it a super realistic vibe, feels like your are restoring a real Ducati left stranded in a shed.:tears-of-joy:

[Guest]

Thanks (that's pretty much what happened to the model(was in the garden shed for a year)

[eddiesolo]

Looking mean Ken, love the look, great work mate.

[JR]

Beautiful work Ken, so good it looks real.

[Kingslug]

Have to get one of these...looks harder than my real ones but a lot cheaper..would be very interesting if one day they made one that worked.
