Rick ,that evil thing, he has landing ban at the moment , not seen him for a while , think the river is supplying his diet.Keep an eye out for that two legged, feathered "fishing pole" what's always hanging around......

No Rick , seed and dried meal worm only on the menu , though buckshot and Herron sounds appealing :nerd:That's good news JR....there's a rumor going round that you have a back yard "restaurant" and are handing out free grub to your fine feathered friends......I guess that doesn't apply to your fish 'n chips on the go, Koi pond!! :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2::tongue-out:

Now assembling the riders , first is the tank commander. Once built I can see how he's going to fit in the turret and what is needed to hold him up .
The bike is going to be painted as one ! Then an attempt to paint the engine and tyres with brush .

Many years ago my grandfather was troubled by a heron using his goldfish pond as a takeaway. He bought a life sized heron statue as someone told him that a heron will not come down to feed when another heron is there. I can't remember if it worked but maybe worth researching.
I think painting the bike "as a single unit" is the best way to go. On something so small and delicate adding ready painted parts would be a nightmare. The detail painting will look fine even if not perfect.

Having bulked out the tank so the commander is the right height this morning I decided to show some photos of the bike as well .
Just don't ask how it is propelled !
Just shows to thickness required with a little trimming. Glued down using UHU por .
Next that bike .
Not as bad as I first thought.
The addition of the figures has hidden as lot of missing bits .
Thanks for the support and please comment.

Thanks Andy ,distance is a great thing
Damn, better check the instructions Rick .
Trust you to say that Neil.....how's yer three wheeler doing?
G
Thanks Andy, perhaps a leather bag may do it . Thinking it moved upwards when I stuffed the wheel in ! Not my best buildLooking OK John, after painting and a bit of muck it will be great, you may want to disguise the broken drive shaft though. Probably only a biker would notice.
Andy.
Cheers Neil, pleased with the pair of them , notice the different arms from the spares box .
That's cruel RickTrust you to say that Neil.....how's yer three wheeler doing?
Still wondering about those handle bars !Pay no attention to that Rick John he is just taking the p*** :smiling5: the levers are correct for a bike of that vintage.That's cruel Rick
Andy.
My chickens love those as treats. I feed them every now and then.
G
Bet they do Lee. I've started to feed some to the fish, Mr Koi is very keen .To see his mouth wide open as he sucks in a many as he can at one pass is great .
G
Thanks Andy, I'd even checked and doubled checked the instructions and drawings .Good job I didn't take them off then !
