La Mille Maglia Porsche Hardcore motorcycle design 1/6 scale

[Toutenkarton]

Hi all,

I haven't built anything for a while due to minor health and motivational issues.But here's my new build, which isn't sci-fi for once: the "Mille Maglia," a motorcycle designed by Marcus Walz for the original and by Louis "Loudog" Lopez for the paper model.

Here is the photo of the motorcycle (the real one)


and what it should look like when finished



The assembly instructions are spread over 65 pages and the construction pages over 24 printed in 200g/m2.

A look at the sheets

And now the assembly begins, the gearbox







Different parts that will make up the engine

This is a great start!

Thats a beast of a machine

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

That looks like it is going to be a very intersting projest. You are off to a great start. Everything looks clean, clear and crisp.
I am looking forward to seeing how this project turns out.

 

[Sky Seeker]

Damn! Great start!

Looking at the cycle I see where Tron got its inspiration.

 

[Toutenkarton]

Thank you for your comments.
The rest of the parts for the engine, the air filter



Building the filter, in pink, was a challenge, I almost tore my hair out trying to get it to fit into its housing
At the end, I used a linen thread and wrapped it a few times, tightening it little by little.
I continue with the 2 exhausts



The first part of the cylinders

The start of the installation of the fins

These pieces take a long time to shape. The fins are each made of two parts, glued together and then individually placed in place, making about 100 pieces.
It's a piece of cake... See you tomorrow for the rest.

That looks amazing are you sure its made from pape....

Very cool design of a motorcycle. Great work on the model so far.

WOW!! Love the detail.

Excellent! You aren't messin' around. Every part so far looks fantastic!

 

[Toutenkarton]

Thanks a lot
Mijob I guarantee you it's really paper.
Let's move on to the next part, here is the crankcase cover



Dry-fit the various parts to see what they look like, then glue them together, except for the exhaust, which is glued during final assembly.
Some photos of the parts are missing, I didn't think to take them during construction, but you can see them on the engine assembly.




The saddle and the engine cover



The 2 parts of the tank and the optics



The front part of the frame



The bottom of the frame



The seat post, rear wheel mudguard and frame support





The beginning of the frame assembly





And the frame finished





See you tomorrow for the rest

Just Wow. Really nice work.

This looks so good all so crisp, clean and clear.

Awesome work! Really like the engine and the seat. Those compound curves can sure be tough. Again it's looking pretty good!

Excellent!! You did a great job on the engine cooling fins. That's one of the most important jobs. I've seen this bike with crooked fins, and it really ruins the model. You've got them just right!

 

[Toutenkarton]

Thank you all for your kind words

Another day of construction on the front of the bike and we start with the tire



The rim placed on the tire



Disc brake on both sides, fork and mudguard



A piece of the handlebar



The top of the fork with the handlebar





The front finished and assembled dry (the handlebar axle will not be glued and will remain mobile during final assembly)

 

[Revell-Fan]

Awesome work! Everything is so precise and clean!

[zathros]

Those wheels are the bomb!! You could/should/would love if you would write a tutorial on how you did those wheels and rims!!!

WOW!!! I concur with Z on this one. A tutorial on this would be great! Those tires look like they are made of rubber. Excellent job!
