Truth be told when I first saw epoxy resin creations i thought the people who made them were these master glass workers until I realized you used this compound that imitates the weight and feel of glass. I have to hand it to all epoxy artists that your stuff is really cool!
Very nice job. As someone who encapsulates many things in resins, I have a few suggestions that may help you in the future: 1) If you use 1mm plexiglass attached to you outer form as the inside against the epoxy/resin, instead of the packing tape, you will have almost no sanding required for the shiny surface because there would be no seams like those left by the tape. 2) If you vacuum the epoxy before you pour rather than after, you can get a pristine outer surface with no inclusions. Also, In this case, you might want to pour with the top surface being the outer surface. That way, you would only need to prep the top surface after you remove the mold if you used the plexiglass to create the smooth sides. 3) If you want to make sure there are no visible bubbles in the pour, you might want to consider a pressure pot to put the freshly poured item to cure in. You only need a pressure of around 60psi (4.2bar) to hide any remaining microbubbles. You can make them fairly inexpensively from a 2.5 gallon paint pot like those found at harbor freight or vevor.
#2 by not doing how it was done in the video any air inside is trapped and can escape, especially with slow cast resins regardless if you put it in a pressure pot or not. A presure pot only makes the air bubbles smaller since air compresses. I know I've done resin tables for over 35 years and small casting can be a real PITA. I have done full vacuum infusion with a piece of oak that came out weighing like a boat anchor. What I do have to commend the creator of this vidoe is of the surface polishing technique. The most tricky surface to polish is the one s where it is side lit. It will show every darn micro scrach and this looks perfect!!! I know I have tried to polish 80 feet of side lit polycabonate that some kids scratched when vandalishing a lit wall protecting a display in a museum, I have tried everything from vapor polishing to using a torch like in some videos to the basic compound, polish, glaze techniques used on gelcoat. Side lit ot lit from the bottom is incredibly difficult since the light refractions of a scratch show at all angles. Take a bow, what you did was incredible with the polishing alone!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have reduced the labour by 75% and not worry about the over arching HD projector etc. The bottom lighting through the cast would be enough...for me. The model would also be more visible from various angles. Always nice to see process...thanks for offering you're time.
This is such a cool project! the lighting was cool enough but to put in an LED projector on the top is over the top! While Maisto makes good replicas they do have their flaws. I am a Scale Model builder and myself, I would have built the model to extremely High Standards, with a Tamiya Model kit, in a larger scale as well, put in LEDs in the headlight, signal and Taillights with inductive coils attached to them inside of the body of the Bike, and built a stand similar to yours, since it is Damn Cool, with a remote charging coil inside of it so when you turned on the charging coil, all of the lights in the Bike would have turned on. without a single wire in sight, because the only wires would have been inside of the hollow form of the model itself. LEDs are getting smaller by the month so small in fact that they are getting hard to see properly. So fitting LEDs inside of tiny spaces is no longer an issue. and with tiny finger drills you can hollow out almost anything to make room for some tiny wires. Yes Sir. a Scale model kit like that would put anything Maisto makes to shame. But unless you have such a built kit right next to this one, you're not going to notice anything amiss, and this display is an awesome piece of art! Well done sir! You did an excellent job! I'm sure there are many people out there who would love to own this piece!!!
Looks very cool ! I just came across your channel in my feed actually and I'm happy to support your efforts and those of other fellow moto content creators. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you in the future, keep up the great work and ride safe out there.
Sou brasileira e amo artesanato com resina epóxi. Parabéns pelo lindo trabalho, fiquei apaixonada e gostaria de tentar, com muita humildade, replica-la. Poderia me explicar qual produto em spray que utilizou na moto? Seria um spray selador, para evitar que os solte bolhas de ar?
A very nice job. A friend rides a bike exactly like this. And that would be a really good Christmas present. Would you accept such an assignment? I would be interested to know what the price would be for this?
My only question, wiouldn't it have been easier to leave an extra inch of wire for the projector, leave it out so you could stain the wood under it, and then reinsert it after?
Hi from Australia Just discovered your channel and have subscribed. Love your work and videos! The Harley is awesome and I will be making a chessboard this year and will post video. Regards One Handed Maker

As a Harley rider myself with that exact bike this is not just a craft piece but a work of art. Very nicely done.
I was surprised when you had that big pour you didn’t have flash cure. Great job and awesome outcome!
This Harley is so cool. You did amazing with this.
I know we had a Harley and we rode to ACA in PUA
Sick! I might do that with mini Kona the bus 😂
Good job! Very good perfomance! I really liked the Harley projector. let's have another video but without the sound of the instrument!🎉😊
That is awesome, want one with the nightrod lol
OMG I love that. Now I know what this weekend is bringing.
absolutly stunning sir
Turns out great. Love it!
Thank you so much

Como ficou lindo! Que trabalho de excelência. Parabéns, e com um Rock 🎸? Dedicação total.
amazing use of your equipment-

Always nice to see process...thanks for offering you're time.
Yeah, but ya didn't. Lot of coulda shoulda woulda's in this world.
Excelent idea!! Congrats!!
Nice job. Looks great !!!!!

I really like your idea, the lamp is amazing🥰
Great idea, looks cool.
22:35 ~ Are those swirls in the epoxy or scratches?
It looks like fingerprints and the light just exaggerates them
Awesome job! My only question is what happens if an LED burns out?
Thanks. If one LED burns out in this tape, the other LEDs will continue to work.
Asi muere! Porque no hay como arreglarla!!
Fantastic job
Great tutorial too!!!!
There are haters everywhere. Haven't seen theirs yet
Itt looks great and I love it
Thanks
Brilliant that looks well cool
