French Girl on caferacer
2 cycle cafe racer and female rider
I was inspired to make this when I saw a picture of a female rider riding a 2-cycle cafe racer on Pinterest.
The motorcycle she rides is a 1971 SUZUKI T350 (GT350), but only Hasegawa's SUZUKI GT380 is available as a kit, but I chose Kawasaki Mach III.
Making a Kawasaki 500ss MACH III
In the legend of Mach III, it's like a motorcycle that wheelies up to 3rd gear.
This Hasegawa kit is an excellent kit for me, who has mainly assembled old kits.
I had no complaints and the kit was easy to assemble.
The modified point…
⚪︎Wheels
0.3mm stainless spring wire and 0.6mm vinyl cord are used for the nipple, and the wheel is painted black.
⚪︎ Rear suspension
The rear suspension is integrated.
The length of the spring was 15 mm, so I replaced it with a spring on hand.
changed part
⚪︎Seat
I cut the sheet of the kit and put putty on it to make it look like a cafe racer.
⚪︎Muffler
A mischievous muffler that emits white smoke and explosive sounds.
I cut a piece of plastic pipe and connected it to the tapered muffler.
⚪︎ Blinker and stop lamp
I made it an LED type.
The turn signal is embedded in the frame, and the stop lamp is glued to the back of the seat with a brass pipe.
⚪︎Oil tank gauge
I made it with a 0.9mm transparent tube and an insect pin.
motorcycle painting
The motorcycle on Pinterest is a motorcycle with a strong vintage feel (probably painted), and the contrast with the young woman riding it is wonderful, but I just imitated the coloring without degrading it that much.
⚪︎Metallic silver tank
It is a high-grade paint called Plating Silver from Gaianotes.
This is an impossible price. The paint film is also weak and does not repeat.
⚪︎The wheels are black.
⚪︎Muffler
I brought out the texture of a blackened muffler.
base
I made a path out of a plastic board.
Concrete was made by mixing gypsum and sand.
Pavement Texture is a plaster mixed with a water-soluble bond that is an alternative to modeling paste.
Modern motorcycle models are easy to create.
The manual is also kind and polite.
I felt that the thoughtfulness of the Japanese people was wonderful.
I want you to use this technology to make a vintage bike with side valves.
Next time, I would like to make a new kit or a vignette of Marilyn Monroe and Indians if I have spare energy.
Thank you all of you!!
