Scratch Build – Complete MINI MOTO MAYHEM: Photo Dump

What happened to good old fashioned black and the nice more natural like thing you have on right now? Or is it that I'm just getting all old and trend forsaken? Probably the latter.

And of course I'll read the update when it's out. I may cry a little but I'll read it. Sniff. I doubt I will ever not be able to love this little gremlin of a lan joy you've created here.

 

Nice touch with the cables through the frame, reminds me of how they do it in amercian chopper Haven't really dropped a comment before cause i don't know what to write and i still don't It's just a great build both in design and execution

 

Cheers Azariel, The other half wonders that too Luckily she's a huge bike fan too (makes things easier for me) It's not too big, I'll get a pic of it next to a regular case for comparison. There's a nice spot in the living room where it will be displayed ... D33P thought is the main PC and this one really is just for show/ LAN events.

I may have no choice, If I could they'd be a gold chain fitted .. personal taste .. I know what you mean about chav stuff on bikes ..ie blue screens on GSXR's , engine dress up kits (anodized bolts)
I've always thought they look very tacky. The update I have in mind is a bit different, it might not be the next one but you'll know when I post it.

Thanks Ace, I know what you mean about posting comments, there's plenty that I follow and don't post on but then again when the log is posted on a few sites keeping up with them all is tricky ... Great build with the Intel Nuc

The 3D printed Mayhems logo has been niggling me a bit, The whole thing painted kinda looses its 3D effect, you'll see what I mean in this pic



So I sanded down the front face of the lettering, but needed lifting. So I decided to have a look at gilding it. I ordered a small kit from e-bay. The kit came with 10 gold sheets, some glue, a brush and a simple set of instructions.



I applied the glue with a cotton bud and left it to become tacky



The leaf is applied and I decided to "stipple" the leaf onto the lettering, I think it's a nice effect



The result looks something like this ...



It really lifts the 3D image, at the moment it has been lacquered and is now drying and will be polished when dry, in the mean time I have the other 3D printed Mod With Me logo to do, I have talked to sander and we have agreed on doing the sides of the M's

 

Paying attention even to the tiniest details. Me gusta big time.

 

great idea with the logo, looks a lot less like a 3D printed part and a lot more like a logo if u get what i'm trying to say

 

Nice fine detailing, looking good.

 

Thanks guys, The 3D logo's needed some attention. After the trouble Sander took to get them and find a solution for getting them made, it'd be terribly rude to slap them on the bike without giving them the attention they deserve.

 

Attention to detail? High.

I love it.

Over the past few months I have been collecting some airbrush stuff, With the cost of the hardware taking out a lot of funds, I've had to scrimp and get the things I need for this build a bit at a time.

So here's what I have, which is enough to get me started ...



Eventually I will get some stenciling material and a stencil burner as I really got into the airbrush side of things .... so expect some airbrushed cases soon(ish)
Luckily Mod With Me provided me with 30 droplet stencils to do the job I had in mind, I ended up using 50 So here's the very first thing I have ever airbrushed ..



I'm happy (more than happy) with the result and it's exactly what I wanted, here's the tank.



and a wider shot .. you'll notice the front mudguard has been painted, this has been done with a blue flake ... It didn't quite look like how I thought it would, but it's quite an interesting finish and ties in with the droplets on the body work.



Here's the mWm logo, I did apply some gold leaf to the sides but it didn't quite look right, So I gave it a light dusting with blue flake and it has lifted the logo nicely.



The logo will be touched up on the edges and will look great on the panel. I have done all the body work but I won't be sharing with you guys until the final photo's (BWAHAHAHAAHAA)

 

Crazy!

 

Thanks Cheaps (I think) I'm guessing that's a good kinda Crazy

 

Urghhh I got ninja'd between posts ...
Thanks jinq

 

Swanky.

 

Friggin awesome. It really needed that.

That seat really has to go though.... Black leather with blue piping and a stitched blue logo would just be incredible.

 

Looking good. Have to agree with andy tjough, the crushed velvet doesnt quite fit in.

 

Thanks dude, congrats on the MOTM nomination

Yeah it would look nice, but expensive. I'm pretty much all strapped for cash with this build ... so it'll have to stay or until an opportunity comes up

I think it's just fine, the standard seat is horrid ..

 

And thats the only thing that matters. I dont mean to be negative as the build is awesome.

 

LOL no worries Boorach, I know you like this build ... the seat cover is something I might look at in the future but for now ... y'know (It would be a very expensive seat cover)

 

Lot's has been done over the past few days, still to update but for now here's a Peek at where it's at which was originally shared on FB
