1/35 Diesel Punk Bike printed using Shapeways White, Strong and Flexible
This was a composite project. The idea was to start with a simple 3D model taking the limitations of the printing process into account, then super detail it using model kit parts.
The rider is a from Mini Art with an ancient Verlinden resin head. The bike is detailed using Tamiya motorbike and Revell tank parts, as well as styrene shapes and etched brass making it a truly multimedia creation.
The model is painted using Acrylic enamels and inks.
This is the last project I will do using White, Strong and Flexible. The surface is just too rough and porous. It is very difficult to work and doesn't hold detail at all well. I will try the frosted detail process on the next model.
I was pleased that I printed the bike at the correct size to integrate with the 50mm tall rider although the saddle is very wide.
