    Desmo Build

    I had a couple of extra bucks laying around and I decided to build myself an exotic. I managed to find a Ducati GP4 for the right price that needs a little love and assembly.

























































    Its going to take me a little bit to get it together.

    awesome! Welcome to my world. I can find you a 1/12 scale metal chain you have to rivet together yourself if you'd like.

    Re: Desmo Build

    OK its done being built. It was certainly a challenge. I havent built a model in years and when I did it was planes. This thing had some good detail and painting it was tough at least for me.

    No sponsors yet. Im waiting for the check to show up before I send it to the final paint.

    Get it measured, would be a shame to have that kind of ride and not have the chassis spot on.
