The first one is Ducati Uncle from Italy. 56 years old. His wife, one daughter, and a Chihuahua. Tamiya 1/12 Ducati 900ss There's something about the design of Italian cars and motorcycles that fascinates me. I can't say it well because I don't have the vocabulary, but it's full of beauty and fashionable. The engine of the 900ss is an L-type twin, and the front and rear cylinders have different shapes due to the air cooling effect, and the bevel gear case and half cowl shape are distinctive. Not only does it look cool no matter where you look at it, but it's a design that mecha fans will love, and no matter what kind of scenery you place it in, its appearance won't outshine the background. I've never seen the actual motorcycle, but when I looked at the model, I realized that the 900SS was larger than it looked in the photo. About the kit It's not a resale product, so it's a fairly old kit, so the plastic material had deteriorated, but I managed to assemble it all the way to the end. Looking at the finished product, I think this kit can be called a masterpiece of its time. The rear suspension coils are made of metal and the quality of the tires is also high. It's a very attractive bike, so I'm looking forward to seeing it re-released by Tamiya or new products from Aoshima or Hasegawa. Making Engine All cable connections have been replaced with aluminum pipes and metal wires. The structure of the camshaft's bevel gear was made visible, and the bevel gear was simply made using a plastic rod. The funnel was made from aluminum pipe and metal mesh. I made and installed the ignition coil, which is omitted in the kit. Frame The plastic material may have deteriorated, but when I put tension on it, it snapped. I recreated the welding marks and replaced the bolts with hexagonal plastic rods. windshield Cracks occurred during polishing due to deterioration of the plastic material. I felt a sense of despair, thinking, ``Oh, it's over.'' I took a mold of the windshield and used a vacuum former to make the windshield. I wasn't able to do it very well, and the finish rating was 25 points. PVC boards seem to lose their transparency when heated, so I think PET resin boards are better. Cables I used mesh wire for the oil hose, a braided hose for the breather hose, 0.4mm lead wire for the electrical equipment, and 0.6mm lead wire for everything else. Painting Painted in silver and metallic blue. The plating was removed and painted with mirror chrome and water-based clear coat. This time, I'm weathering it because it's an image of a traveling old rider and a Ducati. The plated parts are clean, so weathering will add depth to the model. Figurine This is an old man rider who went on a trip on a Ducati. I hope you will think that the worn out rider's jacket and half helmet are a good mismatch with the sharp 900ss motorcycle! The figurine was made with Sculpey. The face is printed with 3D data that can be used for secondary purposes, changing the frown into a smile. Diorama Base It's a Spanish country road. The signboard directs you to the restaurant ``My Kitchen 15km South''. I don't know if it's in Spain, but it seems like it's in Mexico. Make The road with plaster, and mnake the dry soil with diorama clay and Coarse pumice gel. Next time, I would like to make a wild woman who travels on a Harley. I'm thinking of putting this model up for auction in Japan. Thank you all of you!
