"Dead Rising" console game
theme bike
Created - March 2010 - May 2010
We were
commissioned by international advertising & design company - HEAD FIRST on behalf of
CAPCOM the console games company,
to replicate the
deadly motocross bike featured in the Zombie killing game - Dead Rising 2.
The bike is to be used and featured for promotional purposes around Europe to coincide with the X-Box and PS3
release of the game.
ETA release of
the game is
around September 2010.
A first for us.. based around a motocross bike, we have to detail the actual
"real" bike to match the in game bike, complete with the chainsaws!

The donor bike.
We search the options for a donor bike to break down and start to re-design and
build from the ground up.
We finally found the right bike to the job. So the build was based around a
Honda CR Motocross bike.
The strip down.
We break the bike completely ready to create from scratch.
Engine is stripped, prepared and finished in ultra smooth enamel paint.
Top and Bottom fork yokes are prepared and finished in ultra smooth enamel paint.
Moving onto the Gold items
featured on the bike. Sprockets, Brakes discs and forks.
Again prepped and painted.
Although the computer
generated game bike has alloy looking wheels, in 'real life' motocross bikes
have spoked wheels for strength.
With this in mind the wheels are stripped, prepped and finished in Dark Grey
enamel with a hint of metallic to colour match the games bike wheels.
Tyres, rear sprocket and the front & rear brake discs refitted.
The frame, swing arm and rear
sub-frame spend 2 days in our machine shop and mirror polished
The engine, rear shock and yokes are re fitted
Details on the engine are added, including the carburettor and front sprocket, both coated in Black enamel
Forks finished in Gold, yokes and
wheels fitted. The bike starts to take shape at this point, adding
the game bikes individual details during the course of rebuilding
We now work out the cut sections
on the plastic bodywork for re-shaping to match the game bike
After the panels have been cut to shape, they are prepared for paint
After more detailing around the bike, fitting the controls etc. The 'Silver' chain is fitted. We create and apply the 'Suzumu' Decals
We start to fit some of the newly painted body panels, fenders, fork guards etc
We refit the fuel tank and body panels now they are finished in the game bike paint scheme
We supply the 2 chainsaws with 20"
blade bars! We strip and paint them to game bike specification
We then fabricate the mounting brackets to hold them to the front of the bike
and fit the saws in place
We now fit the the seat, re-trimmed in Black, line details created and colour matched to the game bike
Next we replicate the strapping of the chainsaws to the bike with Silver gaffa tape
Here we have fabricated a custom
display stand the bike will be fixed to for travel and display purposes
This will allow spectators to sit on the bike safely for photographs etc, when
CAPCOM use the bike on tour
The finished bike... This is - "Dead Rising"
