My name is Schascia, I paint for passion Modern Vintage Motorcycles-Special-Cafe Racer, whatever happens. I don't draw on commission because I don't have time. I don't use social media because I'm convinced they're just a waste of time, and for us humans, time is gold.
In recent years I have become passionate about urban landscapes, both citizens and abandoned works, old Italian restaurants, old service stations, small city shop windows that have now disappeared but have their own hidden charm...
They are small works carried out on cardboard, with markers, pencil, pen, mixed techniques including watercolour, if you wish to leave a comment feel free.
I attach some photographs of my finished work.
I wanted to reproduce the BING because it is one of the carburetors that I like most aesthetically speaking.
I deliberately left the original color of the ceramic, I only gave it a coat of stain to darken the ceramic joints.
Naturally, ceramic can be painted as desired with any color, even enamelled.
If you like the piece and are interested, give me a shout!
The measurement is taken from the original carburettor, once dry the ceramic shrinks by a small percentage compared to the original piece.
Original carburettor
I wanted to do a different test, open the carburettor where the filter and manifold would go, this way the piece is perhaps lighter...
If you wish to leave a comment, your opinion or advice is all welcome.
I am of the opinion that even a mechanical piece has its charm.
This is the reason why I want to reproduce the side casing of a "Gilera Arcore", produced from 1972 to 75.
Initially the piece was completely solid, it was very heavy and a waste of material.
With a second test I did it with the casting system (slip) so that only the edges show a thickness, I like the result...
Once the slip casting slowly dries in the air and hardens, the piece detaches from the mold because the water contained in the slip is absorbed by the mold itself, creating a vacuum, after which you just need to turn the mold upside down and you're done.
By mistake I created a hole that I had to repair with another pour of liquid clay.
Finding the ideal thickness is not easy, the piece must be resistant at the same time as not coarse.

Janus is an American motorcycle manufacturer, their headquarters are in Indiana, they offer completely handmade motorcycles with a unique and retro style. Personalized Janus Motorcycles 2023 annual event poster. The work was done on rigid cardboard with acrylic colours, nothing digital, just old pencil, eraser and colours.
The clay parts are dried for a few days, they are fired, once the clay is cooked the pieces are solid ready to be composed.
They can be left raw or painted
In the last phase, all the pieces must be assembled with a two-component glue, then it will be mounted on a pedestal.
The composition of the carburettor and all its parts is finished, the last phase is cooking at 1000°, we're almost there...
Each piece has been finished by hand, once finished it will be assembled and placed on a pedestal, of course it is just an ornament! Petrol is not needed.
Grazie a tutti per la vostra visione!
Preparazione stampo Carburatore BING.
Mi sono crato 4 stampi in gesso dal carburatore originale, due laterali più vaschetta, e uno stampo per i pezzi più piccoli come la pipetta carburante. Una volta uniti i pezzi il tutto va rifinito a mano e svuotato internamente, una volta asciutto il pezzo va cotto in forno ad una temperatura di circa 1000°. Dopo la cottura il manufatto prende consistenza trasformandosi da argilla a Ceramica. Il tutto va rifinito con mordente noce scuro per enfatizzare angoli curve e imperfezioni della ceramica stessa.
Tengo a precisare che è il mio primo lavoro in ceramica.
Sto lavorando alla realizzazione per una Riproduzione in ceramica (scala 1:1) di un carburatore Moto Guzzi V35 (Dellorto VHB 26 F) Al momento il manufatto è in argilla semplice una volta pronto si procede alla cottura intorno ai 1000°. Il carburatore originale è stato smontato completamente, dai singoli pezzi sono stati creati degli stampi per la riproduzione in serie. Il pezzo finito sarà posto su di un piedistallo come un semplice ornamento. La mia idea futura se il tutto procede è quella di creare altri carburatori di altri marchi - Bing - Mikuni - Teikei ecc...
Se volete inviarmi un vostro parere un consiglio un commento sarà benaccetto.
I am working on the realization for a ceramic reproduction (1: 1 scale) of a Moto Guzzi V35 carburetor (Dellorto VHB 26 F) At the moment the artifact is in simple clay once ready it is fired at around 1000 °. The original carburetor was completely disassembled, from the individual pieces molds were created for serial reproduction. The finished piece will be placed on a pedestal as a simple ornament. My future idea if all goes well is to create other carburetors of other foreign brands Bing, Mikuni, Teikei etc ...
