handmade R1 (paper craft)

[AJ']

In 2007, a friend of mine was about to go and working oversea who's also a bike fanaticism, he was arranging a party for his birthday, for his birthday gift, however, I then decided to make an R1 craft for him, here's what an actual R1 looks like:

then, I drew up a time schedule in mind as his birthday's just about to come in around 2 weeks, and had spent exactly 2weeks (about 4hours a day) to have this craft done:

the original soft copy of the design can be downloaded from Yamaha site:

a part of the parts, had been workin on it for more than a week till this stage....:blank:
the worst part was the tyres...i'v trown two "flat" tyres when i was assembling them


now we take another look of how to put those parts all together...that was really a difficult task, all the seemed small and insignificant mistakes and inaccuracies were amplified during the assembly process, makes it even worse, i re-do some of those parts according to that phenomenon which had slightly delayed my scheduled progress (almost not be able to finish it before my mate's birthday):sweatdrop
