Valentino Rossi power wheelie

Hi I am Komninos from Hellas ,
In this construction except the additional details I have emphasize the representation of rotating parts of motorcycle.
The figure has conversions at hands position.
Sorry for dull photos.

Re: Valentino Rossi power wheelie

Hi Komninos,
congrats, absolutely convincing!!!!!! Superb execution, some "simple" effects and the appearance is real stunning. Try an other background for your pics and it will appear as the real thing. TOP NOTCH!! Not easy to demonstrate / show movement / action / motion in a static display, you nailed it.
VERY MOTIVATING!
Yours
Jochen

Re: Valentino Rossi power wheelie

Good model and display! The pose is very realistic. Looking at the motion of the scene I would also expect to see the kerb colors (as also asphalt and white line) blurred.

This is an example of what I'm talking about (not my model):

Re: Valentino Rossi power wheelie

Very nice. But how did you get the wheels look like they are turning?

Super build! I'm also interested in how you removed the spokes in the rims and mounted the bike in the wheelie position.

Re: Valentino Rossi power wheelie

Excellent effect, very cool display! Did you put clear plastic inside the wheels?
I agree, if the red/white stripes on the road would be blurred, this would enhance the whole effect even more!

Re: Valentino Rossi power wheelie

Thanks a lot guys for your compliments ! I was thinking for a long time that project and surely this technique can be evolved more in details.The secret of the wheels is shown at the photo below.

Motorcycle was build at the rear wheel on a screw from TAMIYA figures kit.
Penta , the same idea I had for the kerb.And now is painted as you say , but photoshooting is not my advantage ,that 's why I didn ' t take any new photos.
Sorry that I ' m not writing comments at forum but I find very difficult writing English.

Re: Valentino Rossi power wheelie

So, do I understand your photo of the rims righr if I think you have hidden the remaining spoke behind the fender and swing arm?
I still don't understand how the bike is put in the wheelie position.

Re: Valentino Rossi power wheelie

It seems that the bike is fixed with a screw from underneath (and through) the base right into the rear wheel. The "head" of the screw can be seen in the picture of the wheels. To obtain a secure and solid stand that seems to be the only possibility. Another positive side effect: the tyre is "pressed" onto the concrete / surface section and gets a compressed area, showing the weight and the movement of the bike.

Hi Komninos, please correct me if i'm wrong!

Once again, very convincing look!!
