nc29 tt Legends

[Davez29]

Ok, a bit of a fib in the title but I was inspired by the Fireblade TT Legends new colour scheme to do my own version of the classic rc30 scheme for our beloved nc, bored at work I doodled around in paint till I was happy, im not an artist.. A packet of Mcvities (Chocolate Digestives) to anyone who paints their bike the same way as this. I cant draw, so didnt bother with the decals but you know where they go.

Hope I dont get lynched by the V4 crowd..



edited the word classics for legends, mixed up me English..

Oh well no interest but I have updated my design a bit so might as well finish what I started, moving the dark blue further up on the mid panel it looks better I think. I also scrapped the line drawing and give you a pretty picture of my thoughts..

Only thing missing is the TT Legends logo, needs to be on the mid fairing, where you normally have cbr but it just looked a mess once I shrunk it

And a slightly changed rear number board, looks cleaner, I tried too hard to capture the RCs pin striping above..

I wasnt sure at first but i feel dirty saying i like that it shouldnt work but it does.....i think. And seeing as the new CBR has it well i guess its allowed

Thanks mate, I know one mans meat is another mans poison but its turned into a day of obsession for me, a bit like that bloke off Close Encounters.... so without further ado here is my final version with a TT Legends logo.. Im now thinking of doing some spare fairings this colour... Mock me if you wish.

Ok, Im still at it, I have just "virtually" re-painted my bike... testing the water as they say.. Jeez, wish I could sleep.

You're not painting the original fairings are you?!

lol, no mate im going to try and get some spares although I am reluctantly going to use some oem type 7 rears with the same scheme as I have now, was keeping them for a rainy day but bugger it, have some fun..

I simply can't believe your doing these drawings in paint lol, fair play that takes time....
The bike looks good btw

Thanks Adrian, I was bored at work at that time so just doodled about, an artist I am not and basicly used paint for the first time. Finally I thought it best to do my virtual painting over some origanal photos of the nc, it gives a better impression I think. I hope I have inspired others to try it. I am slowly rubbing some parts down for painting but dont expect to see it till next year I know it will be out of date by then though as it is the legends 2011 colour scheme.

It reminds me of the twin headlight NSR125 from the nineties, the one with the 'Alcast' frame. I like it!
