Being my first GB,I will make it a small diorama. Picked a 1/35th Tamiya Kettenkraftrad off E-Bay a few days ago. I was going to use it for another project I had planned but I think this will be better used on the GB.

Will be adding a little more detailing to the kit as I build it.

I love the 'Trad', it has to be the weirdest concept bike ever. Always adds interest to a dio so this should be a good one Tony.
 
Thread owner
Cheers Graham. The kit is pretty good so far. More pics to follow shortly.
 
Thread owner
Hiya Tony, so glad you have chosen the Ketten as a subject...i have a real soft spot for it...so much so i managed to get these pics when i went to the tank fest week before last, hope you like em. Best of luck with the build, i reclon you will turn out a blinder with this one, all the best Martin.

Cheers Martin. Pics will help loads plus trawling the net for good pic too. Tony.
 
Thread owner
I may change the cover to a material one and have it loose over the trailer. Tony
 
Thread owner
Like it, that will really bring it to life. Let us know how it goes mate, cheers Martin :-0
 
Thread owner
Off to town tomorrow will go into the big material shop and see what I could use for the cover. May try covering the sadsle and the bench seat too. Tony

What a great looking, little kit. From the box art I would think it's quite an old kit but the moulding is really crisp. If you wanted to detail it a little you could always add the odd cable etc. Add that to your fabric cover and I think this will end up a smashing little subject.

All the best for the build.

Paul

Ps. I've got some more pics of the Kettenkrad I took at The War and Peace show as it chugged along through the sea of mud carrying 3 reinactment Germans! I have them if you want them but I'll wait to see what the decision is on a 'reference thread'.
 
Thread owner
Cheers Paul. Im all for the reference thread,it would help everyone..
 
Thread owner
The reference Forum is now open guys. thanks for the idea, it will be a great tool for the forum.

That's looking great. I once owned a Tamiya 1/35 kit without the trailer but alas it disapeared before I could make it.

Saw one at the 'Tank Fest' at Bovi the other year, it did a few circuits of the arena with the Tiger and Panzer III. Though the driver took it very carefully as it looked a bit unsteady.

Cheers

One way of painting tyres is to spray the whole wheel in the paint colour then, using a compass cutter, cut disks of masking tape the size of the inner wheel and rim, apply one each side then spray the tyre colour. I did this once, but I mainly stick the painted wheel on a cocktail stick and hand paint it.
