Thanks guys!

Me too John, it's my first one!

After an hour observing the picture on the box and the manga girls....and asking myself how to built this one, I have three conclusions:

The first: I will built a bike, so a resistant colour base isn't needed, because there isn't weathering... I try a tip (new or not, I don't know) I use an only coat of black primer. The colour is perfect to me. And the parts that needs a semigloss varnish, just I mix the black primer and the varnish. The result seems to be great. The advantge is only needed one coat with this method, and the model looks very fine and more detailed with that. (two coat less, the normal kind is /primer+black+varnish/)

The second: want to do a dry brush on some parts like the chassis or engine... Was thinking if I do with light grey or white...mmmm...will look 'dirty'... So I will try with gloss varnish!! Eh...? Let's see what happens

And the third: I prefer the manga girl on the left....

Nice choice

Mmm...I said the girl with glasses... Because, seems, she has her 'point'....

An interesting approach Polux i will look forward to seeing the results.

As for the young ladies, I'll take the one in the middle. Freaky hair colour and that old question of curtains and carpets comes to mind :P ops:

Hi friends!

Ufffff.....I don't know what to say......I have several problems with the paint work!!

There are many small pieces in silver, gold and similar metallic mixed colours, and I can't obtain a good result....

The brake discs are now primed again, after a failed first attempt....

Well....I'm learning to paint with this colours, don't dubt about it guys

The engine is painted and have a very light/clear dry brush effect. Looks fine to me. Let's see what happens once put together on the chassis

Regards

Thanks Jason!

Of course!! Is not finished yet!!

Remains the front brakes, cables and little details to do yet. And the most important...a dry brush or a wash to bring some 'life' to this piece of plastic

Thanks

That's a lot of work done over the weekend Polux, very impressive.

Like the colour a lot, and can't wait to see it with all the decals and finished detailing.
