Fantastic finish

Dirk Heyer
Holy crab what a beauty!!!
How did you made the gloss finish?
That`s a finished model with a "must have" factor!! Like your Peugeot, you are dealing the colour application like a master. Here on sm are a lot of good modeller with fantastic skills in the category of car and motorcycle modelling.

Lesley Eyckerman
Hi guys, thanks for the nice comments. The high gloss finish is just Tamiya X22 Acrylics thru the airbrush and polished with Tamiya finish. That's it. The peugeot is 2K clear from Zero paints.

Dirk Heyer
Thx Lesley, for the explanation.

Alexander Aristides Cronvall
That's a absolute amazing finish you have achieved with the x22. i have tried to polish x22 once but without coming near your finish. but now i will definitely try it again sins i'm tired of the ts-13 messing up my builds every now and then.

Acki
Hi Lesley, wish I could do it your way. Perfect work!

Lesley Eyckerman
Hi Acki, i don't use x22 anymore. Now i use 2k clear from zero paints. Thanks for all the nice comments.

Dirk Heyer
What you have done, Lesley?
You really infected me!!
Now I will have a closer look in Mol for Racer bikes!!!
Damned, I`m incurable infected!!
Do you have some proposals for me?
I`m a bloody noop as for these things!
My Favourite is the Repsol Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade, I have seen this bike some month ago here in Darmstadt.

Lesley THIS is great. I'm a Ducati fan and this is very good. Where do you buy 2k clear from Zero Paints?

Dirk Heyer
Aah of course, an important question. 🙂

Tim van Dooremalen
@Michel you can buy zero paints from Domino in Belgium.

Philip De Keyser
is this the real one or is this a scale model? fantastic result Lesley😉

@Dirk. The Repsol Honda is very cool bike. I have some MotoGP versions of those from Tamiya. Besides the Front fork set, i build the Ducati straight out of the box. As far as bikes goes, i'm not into bringing a lot of detail. I just make the paint finish looks great and ad some aftermarket decals. Thats it. You buy Zero Paints from Domino or Hiroboy. I buy from both.

To all: thanks again for the excellent comments.

I made some excursions on web sites with Tamiya in-box reviews and I`ve found, it is not at all necessary for extra details, so as you said previously.
These models came out with so many and fine details, so it is like you said only important, to focus on the finish of this "little" (1:12) gems.
Hope that I will find your amazing models someday in Mol KMK (B) or maybe in Veldhoven (NL) at Oktober this year?
Would be great to see this Ducati jewel live! 🙂

Michel Huijghe
Tim thanks. 🙂

Lesley Eyckerman
@ Dirk: you can also check hobbysearch. They have the intructions manuals of all the kits they have in stock. Cheers Lesley

Dirk Heyer
Thx, a wonderful and informative link!!

Nikolajs Negeriss
I agree with Lesley. Good paintjob and smooth clearcote is what you need on the bike like this. Engine and even exhaust pipes are hidden... Shame 🙂
