Two more Yamahas (and some more besides)

The saga begins...

In late 2014, Yamaha issued the second of their "Motor Sports World" dioramas featuring two motorcycles associated with the Dakar Rally: the 1995 XTZ850R and the 2014 YZ450F. Although I had had a great deal of trouble putting together the previous year's offering, the "Racing" YZR-M1 (see here), I decided to give these a try. I started with the XTZ850R way back in March 2015.

As usual I wanted my model to match all my others built at approximately 1:14, so I printed off some sheets reduced to 40% and got started. First came the front and side fairings. These are laminated double-thickness so that inside and outside are coloured - I find it a bit difficult to do this neatly, but came up with something acceptable.
