It’s hard to see, but the screws that were put in the corners for reinforcement were raised, so I scraped them off later.

As a form, it may have approached “Purple Rain”. I do not know the angle of the corner part of the actual car. If you go to “Paisley Park” in Minneapolis, you can see the actual car, so I’d like to go there someday. ⇨I went to the long-awaited “Paisley Park”. 2022.05.

I painted it red! To put the symbol mark, first paint red. After drying, cut the masking tape in the shape of the symbol mark and paste it.

I’m building a motorcycles for Prince “Purple Rain”(No. 6)※painting failed. ☆Click here for the First article ☆ ☆Click here for the completed motorcycle☆ I painted on a sunny day. However, the painting failed. I failed, but I will introduce the process. I thought about various things to draw the symbol mark of Prince. I cut it out using the “cutter compass”. I made a symbol mark using masking tape. It was difficult to cut out the round part. The shape of this symbol is slightly different between the “Purple Rain” photo and the bike on display at Paisley Park. Maybe there are two. …

Peel …

Above is the previous state. The shape is different from “Purple Rain”, so I made it with a new iron plate. I cut the previous stay by myself, but the shape was not good. The stay I made this time is sharper than before. It’s also lightweight. Drill holes for mounting. The main body is also cut a little so that the stay does not …
