2012 Jan 24 hour build |
Along with 28 or so modellers around North America, here are pictures of my efforts for a 24 hour build Jan 28 and 29, 2012

What I will be building View out front window Starting spot in living room (body prep)
Ready to 'Snip 'n' Sand' Yoshi - official 24 hr build mascot Betty - official test marker
(as opposed to 'Rock 'n' Roll') (new gas stove in background)
2:20 pm Removing molded screen and replacing with aluminum. Over 200 total holes hand drilled, I'm not
even sure you can see them on the
finished model!
5:00 pm - frame painted TS-17 gloss aluminum, body parts in primer
10:30 pm - body parts in Kylon white, engine, etc. in Tamiya semi-gloss acrylic - time for bed
Sunday morning - airbrushing flat black, flat clear and steel, then final assembly
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Noon Sunday - this is as far as I got. I discovered, when doing the gauges, that the 20+ year old decals don't like to come
off the paper, except in little tiny pieces. I'll try:
- using some Decal sealer and try again later
- scan the decal sheet and make my own
- mask and paint the stripes (don't like this option)
- leave the bike white
Sunday 2:30 pm - this is where I'm going to leave it until I figure out the decals. Once they are on, then footpegs, mirrors
and other minor stuff. I'm glad I did the metal screen and no, you can't see the 200 holes I drilled.
