Paul apologies for not joining this earlier on . I've had a read through , amazing build and the attention to detail with your scratchery is awesome awesome, thank you.
No worries my friend there is a lot to keep up with on here. Glad your aboard.
Slowly moving on. Decals now applied with a few casualties they were nice and thin and appeared to go on well only to flake off a little while late despite setting solution. Still the important ones are in place. The paint work received the oil spot wash and a the first pin wash.
Next the side car frame was added and the two modified struts fitted.
In this picture you can see the modified support struts and the added detail including the rotary switch to the gear selectors.
Still have to add a few parts to the bike the decal and glass to the speedo, detail the lights and continue with the weathering.
cheers

Those photos could so easily be confused with the real thing.
Wonderful work,AGAIN Paul,

Blimmin Eck mate,
That really is top notch, I'm heavily into my bikes,(and have been looking to restore a crated up either Zundapp or BMW R75 Combi since about 2014),
Loving what you're doing with this, superb stuff.
Thanks Andy, Now that would be great to work on.
Indeed it would be .....
... Saw a few crated up R75's for sale back in about 2015, due to circumstances I couldn't follow them up TBH,(and if memory serves,they were only about four grand), I'll be back in the hunt this Summer mind
Good luck with the search and happy hunting.Indeed it would be .....

Paul when people ask me what or who inspires me I always think no one really but if I see something that makes me think wow ,normally diffrent words to that effect then I've been inspired ,Paul thank you ive been inspired to carry on at the bench as I'm sure most of us have on seeing this master piece. Dave
Dave, I really don't know what to say apart from I am humbled by those words thank you very much indeed.
No thank you ,I dont own any factual reference books but am in possession of some nice glossy modeling/ technique books not to copy but they do help you go in the righ direction and the pictures are inspiring ,lots of people lose faith in this hobby because they can't understand why theirs won't come up to what they see else where ,I've been there but have learnt to not be daunted by what I see others do just take inspiration from it. Dave
The same as Tim has inspired me to get figure painting i dont suppose ill come up to what the lads on here knock out but hey they've inspired me to give it a go.
David,
their are some superb modellers including yourself each having their strength and weaknesses and individual styles that are instantly recognizable. That is what makes this hobby so good learning from each other and hopefully improving our own work as a result.
The weathering on the bike continues, I have added some wear and chipping.
This part also received a burnish with graphite to hopefully show the constant wear of being stepped on getting in and out of the sidecar.
The saddles were painted with oils to try and represent leather.
thanks for looking

This is just so impressive - every step done beautifully. I love the wear - really bold placement of the scratches, but looking completely natural. I guess doing that takes some nerve?
Paul, thank you I'm glad it looks natural that is what I aim for. Not sure about nerve it's hopefully knowing when enough is enough and try putting the wear in the right places where it would occur.
I just felt the temptation would be to put tiny random scratches everywhere (a common practice in miniature painting), rather than placing a few big wear patches accurately. Looks great!
