[MOTO] Ducati 999 "Imola"
Ciao, io no parlo italiano, parlo espagnol e ingles:
http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/9...t999lo5rp6.jpg a ducati 999, based in the imola gp bike. In one of my last proyects, I made a sketch of this bike, but I decided to paint the bike yellow, but I wanted to build this bike from the sketch too, my sketch is inspired by other sketck from a ducati website: http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/8359/ijjimu9cb2.png Im going to use a NEW-RAY DUCATI 999 F05, because it os more agressive than the stock 999, there are really a lot of diferences between them, so this is the bike: http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/1973/h001lg6.jpg Of course Im going to make it single side swingarm. |
can see here the main diferences, the frame, the wider fairing, the suspension, well, almost everythig:
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7194/hh007ga3.jpg Tail section, tank cover and winshield are wider too: http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/4069/hh006qz2.jpg So first thing to do is nake the bike, and primer the pieces: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9216/f016xc1.jpg http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/2490/f020xm3.jpg Im going to take some elements from sketches from Pierre Terblanche, due Im trying to make a concept bike, no a race or street bike, it is a show bike, Ill make the tail like the second option: http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/5489/15465043iw3.jpg And the front like the next sketch: http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/1748/26043042di7.jpg Tank cover is going to be like this: http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/763/64579735og3.jpg So here are the preliminar marks to begin cutting: http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/5171/ghghbr1.jpg http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/9494/jkjkpd9.jpg http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/746/g029hk1.jpg And the right tools for the job: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9799/h008uv8.jpg Here is a pre-assembly to check the resul: http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/8163/g032zc0.jpg http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/213/g037wc5.jpg http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/9629/g036he1.jpg http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/1482/h003zv0.jpg Im going to add a mesh grille in the front fender: http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/7899/g038xv6.jpg Now I have to add a little piece of 3mm styren to make the tail longer foward and sand: http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/7456/h018gt9.jpg Im thinking I can open the ehaust exit and add a mesh grille to make a big single exit, or to divide ot in two section like in one of the Terblanche sketches: http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/4627/h019ui0.jpg Now its time to cut off the rear suspension, I want to save it complete to use it in a tamiya yamaha ow01. http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/2003/h012ha9.jpg http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/336/h014gw0.jpg I have to detail the tank housing for the cushioned inserts, a lot of sanding in all parts: http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/719/h015bq4.jpg And now the most difficult part, to scratch build the rear swing arm, reference photo: http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/9008/stuff027au2.jpg http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5089/f15it3.jpg Need to find styrene tubing to build the swing arm. Im trying to decide how to make the exhaust exits, here are some ideas: http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/9955/tailrh0.jpg |
This is my progress so far, I got styrene tubing in diferent diameters,made the marks and began bending, ist hard because I have to be trying and tryng the piece whit the chain, complete tire and brake disk Tto make sure the chain doesnt touch anything, Ialready bent the rim:
http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/4444/ff006tz8.jpg http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/834/ff008wh5.jpg http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/5672/ff009yz9.jpg http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/5946/ff010fw6.jpg http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/6456/ff013kr3.jpg http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/3411/ff015qv8.jpg Its ready, now I have a lot to sand and detail to mahe it look welded, and to make the shock atachments, and the ones to the frame. http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/4493/ff017cx7.jpg http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/8357/ff018ar3.jpg http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/8380/ff020ld8.jpg And here is the fairings, already painted, now I have to add some red and black, details, and letters, but a lot to do in engine, frame, exhaust, etc. http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/4059/ff021ez4.jpg I almost finish the swingarm, still needs more sanding, and details: http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/5416/dd001mq2.jpg I painted some details in flat black, all paints are from a can, and I began shaping the tree piece foamed seat parts, they are going to be like retro seat color: http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/7461/dd003jg0.jpg At this point the bike has nothing to do with the original or my last ducati build: http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/3848/dd004yd9.jpg http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/7703/dd006ne3.jpg http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2323/dd007cq8.jpg Good bye to red frame, its ready to become holand blue: http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/4010/dd005ks8.jpg Here is a preview, I guess when I add the red is going to look terrific! Im going to aply a little, lttle, little layer of silver, I want the bike to look more white than silver. http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/1054/dd008sz6.jpg Little update, Already put in place the swing arm, it was difficult to aligne, I just glued one side, I cant glue de rigth side because I need to put the engine in, I was checking chain clearance, and everything is OK. Needs more sanding and smoothing, and to paint blue: http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/2338/ll001rl2.jpg http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/5445/ll003el9.jpg Now its time to make the shock holders, one to the frame and one to the swing arm, the Ducati monster SR4 has the same swingarm but it has the shock mounted in the center, I want it like the MH900e, in one side, more retro look, combined with ultra modern body shapes....cool.: http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/6851/ll006mk7.jpg Reference photo: http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/8084/pict1189sp9.jpg |
More updates.
Testing the exhaust, that it doesnt touch the swingarm: http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/7853/mm004cw0.jpg I mounted the shock holders, it was hard to aligne too, It is necesary to avoid the tire touches it, and I had to cut a little the shock to make it fit, need to sand and primer again: http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/3244/mm008jb2.jpg http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/2504/mm010hw6.jpg I began the paint scheme, it still needs a lot of detailing: http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/4022/mm002zx8.jpg Ducati red and antique gold applied: http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/84/mm015kv8.jpg A preview of the fairing, Im working in the winshield, maybe Ill smoke it a little: http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/3124/mm012ou7.jpg Still working on the frame: http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/1387/ty002bj6.jpg http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/2903/ty004mg8.jpg http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3279/ty005kn7.jpg The frame still needs details, paint the center bridge, screws, etc. http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9476/ty008qb9.jpg |
Im still working in stetics, I made the letters with adhesive vinyl in metallic grey:
