Looking For MotoGP Modeling Help

Post by high510 »

Anyone know if there are decent figures to be had? Looking to put Marquez on the 2014 Repsol Honda from Tamiya. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

What pose? riding? cornering, straight? on the grid?
I have this good old boy. Hey, it even appeared at Tamiya modeling magazine!! :D on an RCV!
It was meant to be a 2002 Rossi or a Biaggi. So the suit is different to a nowadays Alpinestars. I am always fiddling with the idea of developing one updated to today's standards.

Anyway, painted properly and with decals would do the trick.
Nice to see someone making Bikes... and figures!!! :lol:
There's also a cornering Rossi (Tamiya), a bit expensive, and obviously the pose is as similar to Marc's as an elephant and an agapornis can be.
God old plastic straight running one is also nice.
Hmm, I sould make a MArquez making a salvada!

Thx for the link. Are figure decals available? They wear such loud coveralls and helmets, that hand painting exceeds my skills.
