Tamiya Honda CR450R
This is a kit I bought at an auction and forgot I had bought it.
I made this with the motivation of knowing that if I don't make it now, I might not make it forever, and to practice figure making.
Tamiya's website states that production is suspended (not discontinued), but I don't think there will be any resale.
However, when it was completed, it turned out to be a cool bike.
makking of a kit
Since this is an old kit, some parts may be omitted.
I have reproduced the omitted parts.
spoke replacement
Spokes: 0.3mm stainless steel spring wire
Nipple: 0.32mm wire sheath
engine
Addition of clutch arm.
Added one adjustment knob to the carburetor.
Added sprocket guard.
I added the batteryless wire coming out of the crankcase.
frame
The coil and igniter were too large and had to be rebuilt.
Added a chain guard to the swing arm.
The chain entrance of the chain guide was closed, so I tried opening it.
bib plate
The front bib plate has a square mesh shape.
handlebar
Add a cushion to the brace bar with plastic pipe.
Chamber
Add spring.
Painting
The frame and engine are both red, so I used three different colors of red.
Frame is silver → shine red
Engine is silver → RLM23 red
Since the fender and tank are made of iron, only the tank is silver → red FS111356
The fender is made of resin so it is direct red FS111356
Weathering
I lightly expressed the dirt on dry soil.
ocher soil, stain brown, sundy wash
Chamber
I chose the color of the titanium chamber.
Black → Silver → Clear Blue, Clear Red, Clear Brown
It was then smoke washed and given a matte coat.
If you apply clear after black or silver, the underlying black will bleed over time, so you can take advantage of that effect.
figure doll
This is an action doll (size: L).
When I asked a friend of mine who makes figures, he said that the most important thing is the skeleton and the flesh, and the third most important thing is the clothing.
This time, I took that advice into consideration and spent time posing and fleshing it out.
In the end, if you have trouble making a figure, the best thing to do is ask the person who makes the figure.
Somehow, I figured out how to make it.
My goal is to be able to scratch figures that are acceptable to figure artists.
Base
I used Tamiya textured clay.
It is a resin clay that contains granular substances that will not stain your hands.
It's a great product that gives you an earthy surface feel just by layering it, but I tried brightening the color to express dry soil.
Next time, it's been a year since I started making motorcycle models, so I would like to make my first motorcycle model, the RC166, better than it was a year ago.
This time, a figure is also included.
I would be happy if you could comment that I have grown.
This CR450R will be put up for Japanese auction.
They'll probably take better care of it than I would if I kept it in a cardboard box.
Thank you all of you!

いつもながら素晴らしい作品です。少しでも技術を盗もうとしているのですがまだまだ未熟で追いつきません。溜息付きながら自分を励ましています。

こんにちは！ ご不明な点はお聞き下さい。次の動画で詳しく説明いたします。 コメントありがとうございました！

[@woreoutdrummer1861]

Fantastic build! I especially enjoyed your making of the female rider. The mark of a great artist is by making it look so easy!

[@scalemodeler]

Thank you for your comment! My goal is to make models as easy, cheap, and realistic as possible.

[@user-bm6fc6fi7e]

いつもながら流石です🥰 素晴らしい加工とディテールです👍 芸術品ですよ🤩

very beautiful model ; maybe next time surprise us with a car

[@scalemodeler]

If I don't make a car model this year, I won't have made a car model for a year, so I'm thinking of making one. thank you!

高圧洗浄機で洗車したくなる絶妙な汚れですね（笑）溝、窪みに溜まった汚れを取りてぇ〜😆 フィギュアも可愛らしいですね。トリコロールがイイ！ けど半袖に素手でモトクロスは怖いなぁ〜😝

[@scalemodeler]

こんばんは！ 腕の造形の練習で半袖にしました、今度は脚の造形の練習でホットパンツ、次は身体の造形の練習で…狙ってます😄

[@bitogf]

Es usted un grandísimo artista ,los modelos son muy bonitos y los videos relajantes e inspiradores. Enhorabuena y gracias por su trabajo.

[@scalemodeler]

Gracias por tu comentario. Estoy muy feliz de poder comunicarme con personas de países de habla hispana como este. Además, por favor ven cuando tengas tiempo. ¡Voy a estar esperando!

[@leroymitch3153]

a lot of work on those shocks

[@scalemodeler]

Yes, There are many resources available on the Internet, so I used them as reference.

[@Casitascrawlers]

As a kid a spent many hours building all kinds of models mostly military type I’m now an RC enthusiast this definitely caught my eye the attention to detail makes it on another level. Thanks for sharing.

[@scalemodeler]

I also spent a lot of time building military models when I was a kid. I took a long break from making models after I started working, but I've finally started making models again. I also love RC. Especially helicopters, but now I have a drone, so I'm enjoying flying it.

[@user-sf4wz6rn9t]

すげぇ〜、感動！　若い頃に実物に乗ってました。10年くらい前の再販で購入しましたが、老眼やら手の震えやらで、全然上手く作れなかった。この動画みてスッキリ諦めがつきました。完成品が欲しいです。

[@scalemodeler]

私からすると、このバイクを乗りこなしてた事が凄いです！ 私は中古のXR250に乗ったことありますが、その倍ですよね！！！ 完成品は外国の方が買ってくれました！ ありがとうございます！

[@martinfoley5127]

Your an artist in miniature, and you make model motorcycles come to life, fantastic work, Looking forward to your next video masterpiece

[@scalemodeler]

Thank you for your kind comment! It's been a year since I started making motorcycle models. Next time, I will make the motorcycle I made a year ago with even higher quality! Please look forward to it! thank you!

[@jamesrivers6853]

I have worked on motorcycles for the last 35 years mostly motocross off-road vehicles your eye for detail is amazing. Absolutely unbelievable work.

[@scalemodeler]

Thank you for your comment. I love motocross, including American Supercross. The shape is perfect for bikes. It's a shame that the motocross type model is no longer sold.

Looks like it must have been easier to make the real, full-scale, Honda CR450R... Kudos!

[@scalemodeler]

Thank you for your comment. It's easy to make, but riding it seems to require a lot of technique.

Thank you for all your inspirational builds. As an insight into how such a master works could you do a video on how you organise and layout your actual model room.Thanks again for all your wonderful videos.

[@scalemodeler]

The model production video was recorded in 4K using Sony's APS-C (EZ-V10). The camera is fixed to a pole and recorded from the position of the face. I use Final Cut Pro for video editing. The completed photo uses Lumix S5. Someday, I would like to introduce you to my hobby room! thank you.

wow I can't help come to be your follower,there used be modest shop of pla model in my town at middle of 90's also was sale Tamiya enamels color,delicate brush,military kits.that's made me flutter at 1/12 scale pieces on arranged into show window of shop such as terminator,alien,fist of the north star and so on which those are I want get. Lol

[@scalemodeler]

Thank you for your frequent visits! When I was in elementary school, there was a model store in my neighborhood. When I saw Tamiya's 1/35 tank box, I admired it. Of course, it is too expensive for elementary school students to buy. I was coloring this precious kit, which is the only one I get as a birthday or Christmas present, with the paints I use at school. Of course, the color will peel off. I remembered that. I'm glad I got to know you. thank you. 자주 방문해 주셔서 감사합니다! 제가 초등학생 때, 동네에 모형점이 있었습니다. 타미야의 1/35 탱크 박스를 보고 동경했습니다. 물론 초등학생이 사기에는 너무 비싸다. 생일이나 크리스마스 선물로 유일하게 받을 수 있는 귀중한 키트를 학교에서 사용하고 있는 페인트로 색을 칠하고 있었습니다. 당연히 색이 벗겨집니다. 그것을 기억했습니다. 당신과 알게되어 기쁩니다. 감사합니다.

[@chrismacks3881]

Another awesome build! What did you use for the braided line?

[@scalemodeler]

Thank you for your comment . But I can’t understand braided line. I’m sorry.

i would try another italeri model , but the directions suck.

[@scalemodeler]

It may be better not to make it until you have a solid idea of ​​the finished product. When making an engine, I think you can make a good work if you have an idea of ​​how to make it.
