discussion Tamiya 1/35 Kettenkraftrad

[Andy T]

When I bought this kit it was pretty much a brand new release from Tamiya, but I had a couple of years pause between building it and finishing the figures!

An amazing kit that goes together very well, if a little fiddly due to its diminutive size. It has a nicely detailed engine that you can't see at all once built.

I'm presenting it on a base that I knocked together quickly today, so please don't be too harsh :smiling5:

Andy,
Nothing harsh to say mate, in fact the opposite that's a great scene.

 

[Mickc1440]

That's a great looking little dio Andy

 

[Neil Merryweather]

I've got to say the figures are really popping , Andy!

 

[Jim R]

That's great Andy. Like Neil, I'm impressed with the figures.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Superb stuff there Andy,
I did one of these a few years back also,so realise how small they actually are!!
Love what the finish is that you've achieved on this one mate,and with those excellent figures, it's something to be very chuffed with indeed!!

 

[Andy T]

Thank you all, glad you like it, and I'm glad I dusted it off after all this time.

I think the driver (rider?) has a touch of the googly eyes :nerd: but he was my first victim.

I'm really glad you finished it up Andy. Top work Sir!!! I can't believe you threw the base together in such a short time. It's really good.

Nah, he just hit a bump in the path that rattled Mr. Happy and his two friends. He's just in some pain...

Base came out great. The whole scene is impressive.
....thought he had some small sunglasses on.

 

[Andy T]

Thanks Allen, I think the glue was still wet in those pictures!

Cheers Paul. I've spent some time today reshaping the eyes a bit. I should have stuck with the John Lennon style shades excuse

Very nicely done, it looks good and convincing.

 

[Andy T]

Thanks Jakko.

I changed one of my bulbs to a much warmer one to try and give a bit of a sunset type effect.

It's certainly more flattering on the colours than my usual daylight led's

It is Andy. Has a late evening vibe to it.

[Andy T]

Thanks Pete. Good to hear it gave the desired effect.

Thanks Lee.

A long time in the making but I'm really happy with the end result.
