Barn Fresh Helmet Aad - Nolan X-lite X-551 - fase 1

Today I started painting this Nolan X-lite fo Aad.
First I made a sketch in photosoup. With special pinstripe tape I made these lines and shapes and I painted the first white layer with One Shot paint. The plan is to make a black and white helmet with some colour accents. No spray paint this time, just One Shot paint. It's still a little rough right now but I like it already :)

Still to do:
Cleaning up the white parts, then adding some colour bits, and in the end some subtle lettering stuff.
When that's done it needs a nice clear coat.

Family trip to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodja, Thailand. Part 3

Aad, a good friend of Bubble Visor went on a family trip to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodja, and Thailand with the missus and two kids. He made some brilliant pictures of his adventure that I can show here, thanks Aad! The trip started in Vietnam, than Laos, Cambodia and finaly Thailand.

 

The Porsche 356 was parked on the street under Thong Lor Skytrain station to get some (amazing) street food. We just finished dinner and were walking home, so it was really a lucky shot, especially with the Z1000 parked next to it.

The night pictures of the vintage bikes and cars were all taken on a huge vintage swap meet/night market in Bangkok (Tarad Rodfai)  Amazing place, great atmosphere and unbelievable to see the size of the place. Not all that many bikes or cars, but truckloads of (mainly Euro/American and some Japanese) vintage stuff..

"The Mad Max Camry is a taxi that has been adapted to Cambodian road conditions and economic reality. Heavy duty suspension, cargo racks etc..

The idiot with the orange pudding bowl helmet is me, I could not resist riding. We rode mainly local style, so 4 up, with the kids squeezed in between me and the missus. I did not have the heart to ride with all of them on the bike over that wooden "bridge", I mean, someone had to take the picture."

The dusty BMW and Duc Streetfighter were two bikes out of a big group that came all the way to Luang Prabang in Laos from Thailand. Definitely ballsy to take  Italian bikes that far from a dealer, but they probably had a Charly and Ewan style backup vehicle parked just around the corner.
