So, is the bee back to yellow or was that work before the red and gold? Either way, I like your thinking on this.
 
Before sanding down stripes, I wanted to see how the bee looked without tape. Before removing it, however, I did sand down the bronzing a bit on the head so the embossed texture shown through, in black.

Bee-utiful! Gonna sand down / mute the black a bit?

The black on the profile will be mostly covered when the axle is assembled. The black along the top is a clip-in that held the wings in place. I will fabricate a mounting assembly in it's place, eventually.
 
I would never have guessed bees would make such killer tanks. Great creativity and artistry. The bike is looking great and the tank is primo!

Thank you so much! I was initially going to use a spraypaint can, but the shape just didn't work. When I found that RC bee, I was so geeked!
 
Love the WU-TAG and especially like the Bee Side idea!
 
You mentioned making it a floating tank. Hope that means it will sort of be centered in the space with relatively equal gaps between it and the torture and cantis.

Absolutely! Once I have the clips in hand, I can start playing with positioning.
