I think it looks fine,and you have done well on such a fiddly thing,
once painted up will look even better ,


so i know what im in for when i do ,start some a lot of fun fiddly work,hmmmm lol, what fun

Thanks Monica...... building the rest will be fairly easy (I hope). I wanted to get the hardest part out of the way first.

Great work so far Peter!

Thanks Jim.........This is my first real go with both photo etch and figures. I've decided to call on that "Bulldog Spirit". That "Fight them on the beaches .........and we will never give up" type stuff with it.

Good start Peter, the bike looks great.

Thanks Barry .............. But I think the PE is going to beat me on this one. I spent two hours this evening trying to make up the chain guard..........and ended up scrapping it. I'm going to have to "scratch" something for that. Luckily the rest is plastic so tomorrow it should be best part together. I have to leave a couple of things off for painting but it should be fairly easy............. Then I can start on the figures.

I feel your pain !

I almost lost my rag with a 1:12 PE chain, I can only try to imagine 1:35 PE chain.........

I personally think tha PE was either created by "Devil Worshipers" or a "Pervert" ......

Devil worshipping pervert called Eduard !!

The cast of characters .......... They've only had basic paint. Detailling and highlights next............ and then the heads and weapons


The bike is not particularly good. I found that particularly difficult. Probably the hardest thing I've ever modelled........
