Thanks Andy, very kind of you.
Neil not at all mate if I can do it so can you, but thank you.
Ditto what I said to Neil :smiling:
Luckily for you there is only one picture tonight. The prop shaft and hydraulic pipe for the rear brakes were appalling, moulded so far off centre that they would have been so thin when cleaned up. So it was easier to make them the prop shat is some ally tube with ally collars cut to size and the pipe work a mixture of the kit part punched nuts and wire.

Knit one, Perl two. Knit one, Perl two. Knit one......Don't care if this damn scarf takes 6 months to make with thread!!!
Seriously Bro, this is so, so good and soooo you!!! The pic of this on the bench, says it all. Love it!!! BTW, what wire are you using to do the linkage and fuel lines? It looks like it takes bends really well and smoothly too.

Quite simply superb. I like what you did with the decal - very good idea.
Allen, Thanks mate if your knitting is anything like mine it will take a year to do a row. The wire is just normal copper wire I have a selection of diameters and some with a coating and some plain, I have a pair of pliers that form a radius but tend to favour just bending round a suitable diameter.
Jim, Thank you matey really appreciate it.
Paul, you are to kind thank you.
Rick,Nice thing about copper is it's malleability,so there isn't much, if any, "spring back" when forming or bending it.
Very true I collect wire from all sources old flex etc I also have some steel wire of various gauges but I can't remember where I got it.
I’ve got a drawer full of old crap as well Paul
Its amazing what house hold items can be reused.I’ve got a drawer full of old crap as well Paul
I had some fun today the rod I was waiting for has turned up so the first linkage was replaced. As far as I can make out this lever could engage/disengage the drive to the side car all though I could be wrong.
Firstly the kit part
Although not exactly bad it does lack definition so Scratched it had to be. So using brass rod. copper sheet punched and drilled nuts and punched details and part of the original linkage I came up with this.
then a picture of each end. The arm is not glued in place yet to allow me to position it correctly.
next the gear selector but that will be another day.
cheers

From looking at a few photos, the rear lever seems to be on the differential, and IIRC, it’s to lock the differential so power always goes to both rear wheels.
Incidentally, never build a BMW R 75 or Zündapp KS 750 as a solo machine without a sidecar as if they were also used that way (both Tamiya and Italeri released 1:35 scale sets like that in the 70s). These bikes were designed from the ground up to have the sidecar, and if the sidecar is removed, the differential lock is too weak for prolonged use. With the lock disengaged, you won’t be going anywhere, of course: all power will go to the free end of the differential, and the bike’s rear wheel then doesn’t turn at all. Enterprising people (after the war) built a plate to stick to the outside of the differential so the bike could be ridden without a sidecar and without destroying the lock, though.
This is fabulous Scottie! Incidentally, what do you use to cut the brass rod/tube whilst not mashing the end?

Great build love all this detail work, can‘t wait but will for the final pictures.
Really skilled scratch work there Scottie. It's getting very difficult to decide if the photos are reference or your build.
You will really have to treat yourself to some new tweezers :smiling:

Superb detail here Scottie. What worries me is that I could see you doing this if it was 1/35
More fantastic scratchery Scottie
