The most important factor in designing an authentic paper craft is to recapture "the essence of a motorcycle." Realism must be transferred into the paper craft with a clear understanding of the characteristics of the model in order to accurately reflect the XJR1300. For this model, we have decided to focus on reproducing its sportiness and power as a "big league" machine. In order to become very familiar with the details of the XJR1300, we first collect as many materials as possible, including XJR1300 photos and blueprints as well as catalogs and a parts-list. Pursuit of realism, transformation into a paper craft, and most importantly, reproduction of XJR1300 likeness...
With careful consideration of these factors, we search through a pile of reference materials and decide on the part structures.
