Seriously, etched spokes? 😄 They must've been a nightmare to align...
12 November 2015, 14:44
Kerry COX
You are not wrong mate, but with care and, paying attention, it all goes together really well. 🙂
Well, when I did my B-17 diorama, I did some push bikes in 1/48 scale and that was terrifying. :-/

I would need to enlist a kid to work with those tiny parts. Nice work!

I do have some gremlins drop in from time to time, but they never do as I ask. LOL 🙂 👍

Ulf Petersen
Very nicely done, this micro surgical operation, Kerry!👍
Etched spokes are state of the art meanwhile, by the way. 😉

Ulf, I do get a big kick out of the comments all my mates leave here, and they are all full of good hearted humour, and that makes it even more fun to be a modeller.
Thanks my friend. 🙂 👍

Hi Kezza,
Do I see some seam lines in some photos (ex. 22, 27, 35)?
Hope you are getting better, Mate.
13 November 2015, 09:30
Kerry COX
Good old "Hawk Eye". LOL Yes Rui, your seeing some seam lines and I will endeavour to remove them and repaint and post the results mate. 🙂 👍
13 November 2015, 09:47
Rui S
LOL, sorry for that, Kezza. But you know as a top modeller (we all know you are), you must give the example here.
13 November 2015, 10:19
Kerry COX
Rui, I am always happy to see that my builds are being examined and I fully expect to see that someone has seen something that needs to be addressed and they make a comment accordingly, which I am always happy to respond too mate. 🙂
All is good. 🙂 👍
13 November 2015, 10:48
Rui S
Kezza, I will try to express honest comments.
Thx for that, Mate
13 November 2015, 11:08
Kerry COX
Rui, I would expect nothing less from you my friend, as I trust your eye and judgement, and I hope you saw that I have made some minor adjustments. 🙂 👍
All is better than good mate. 🙂
Cheers. 👍

That was a quick job, Mate.

Well done, Kerry, great work as always.
14 November 2015, 14:32
Kerry COX
Thanks mates, and if you get one, you will all see why I rave about the accuracy and detail. 👍 👍
I found I could hardly put it down once I started, and I know that the next will be even more fun as I know what I didn't do with this one. lol 🙂

Thomas Mayer
Found this one this morning. Very cool bike and nice job here, Kezza! You really make me spend some money to get this little gem, too! 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
What a beautiful bike, Kerry very delicate work !
23 November 2015, 20:03
Kerry COX
Thank you Hanno, and I just found an image that the box top art was duplicated from and I am so happy I found it. 🙂
23 November 2015, 20:07
Hanno Kleinecke
Gee, don't they look smart !?

Twins mate. hehehe 🙂 👍
I love the white gloves tucked into their epaulets. 🙂

These boys would have escorted and opened car doors for high ranking officials around the occupied territories/cities, as they are "Full Uniform" . 👍

I love the old Harleys, great job! 🙂

Kerry COX
Thank you Jonns, and these kits are just a lot of fun, mostly because it all fits perfectly. 🙂 👍

Everything except watches, I leave that to Bernhard. lol 🙂 👍

Hi Kerry...
In my time I've made up those 1:8 Pocher Wire Wheels and that was bad enough!!!
So I well appreciate the micro-surgery you've put in here Kerry, well done mate8)
1 December 2015, 08:06
Kerry COX
Steve, Thanks mate, but I must say, it was the little "Squash" tools provided that eliminated all the guess work really, but hard enough with, impossible without. !!!
In image four (4) these 'tools' are disc shaped, just below the saddle bags.

Christian Bruer
Completely missed this, very nice work with all the fine details. I much like the fine and well done build wheel spokes.
Cheers, Christian
1 December 2015, 19:21
Kerry COX
Mr Bruer, Thank you for your kind comments mate. 🙂
The quality of the kit parts detail help's one do a little better, and to see something from the eastern bloc with all the qualities of the Japanese and Chinese made kits is quite exciting.👍
Cheers. 👍
1 December 2015, 22:42
Rui S
I agree, they are doing great, complete and detailed kits. You don't need aftermarket for this ones.
1 December 2015, 23:07
Kerry COX
Rui, From that comment, I can assume your fast becoming a fan of the Minni Art world, 🙂 🙂 👍.
2 December 2015, 01:47
Rui S
Hi Kezza,
Yes I do like a lot, their kits, the new topics and releases. 👍
2 December 2015, 12:15
Kerry COX
Hi Rui, Yes, they certainly are making their mark with what they are making, for sure.🙂

Kerry COX
Well, I just got my last kit from Hobbylinc in the USA, of the series from MiniArt of the Harley WLA's and that makes for a great diorama now I have seven bike from five kits. 🙂
The figures are the selling point as all the WLA Harleys are exactly the same.

Acki
Amazing!
18 January 2016, 08:24
Kerry COX
Acki, G'day mate and I hope your Mo Jo is still active. ?? hehehe
The last kit, of the MP directing traffic, I could not, for the life of me, get it in Australia, but all the others were not a problem, but I have really taken a liking to these Mini Art kits as the detail is just amazing, especially the figures, and they come from Ukraine. !!!!
18 January 2016, 10:59
Acki
Got this one! 🙂 scalemates.com/kits/937885-m..us-motorcycle-wla-w-rifleman
18 January 2016, 11:24
Kerry COX
Acki, YOU WILL LOVE IT. !!!! Have you had a look at the detail as yet. Oh, I am all excited, and maybe we can do our own little group build. !! ??

Have you had a look at all the images and comments here on what to look for to avoid any mistakes. ?
18 January 2016, 12:25
Acki
I´ll save your pics and will use it for me. Thanks a lot! Did you add some cables and wires for the engine and brakes? Ok, let´s make a groupbuild 🙂 When will it start?
18 January 2016, 12:52
Kerry COX
GB any time you like, and as soon as it starts, just watch how many rush out and buy one. LOL
The wires for the brakes, ignition wires and throttle will definitely be next on my 'can do' list. 🙂
18 January 2016, 13:19
Kerry COX
I bought the kit of two police, but I got the figures of the three mechanics. !! :-/
8 February 2016, 13:20
Thomas Mayer
Kezza, send Miniart a message if the wrong figures have been given in the box!
8 February 2016, 14:34
Kerry COX
All of that has been taken care of Thomas, 👍 as I 'messaged'. them, asking which way to go and they gave me an email address to write to. I also sent some images of the models I already have to save confusion. 🙂 👍
9 February 2016, 01:53
Thomas Mayer
I guess they will be delighted to get some pictures of your finished builds, too! 🙂

I just pre-ordered their new T-44 tank! Looking forward to this one!!!
9 February 2016, 07:58
Kerry COX
I saw that kit, and mate, if the detail in it is anything like their bike kits, you are in for a most enjoyable build. 🙂 👍
9 February 2016, 08:28
Thomas Mayer
I already got some of their kits, and I did a fair number of reviews. These are the bee´s knees in detail and fidelity of injection moulding!
9 February 2016, 09:01
Kerry COX
Their range of subject is certainly varied, but worth every penny really. 🙂
9 February 2016, 14:29
Kerry COX
Gareth, the post didn't work, but I will look for it on Youtube. Thanks mate. 👍
7 May 2016, 00:57
Kerry COX
Yeah, apart from his eastern bloc accent, a most fascinating way of spokeing (spelling is wrong) :-/a wheel. Thanks again Gareth. 🙂 👍
7 May 2016, 01:07
Thomas Mayer
Doesn´t work for me, too...
7 May 2016, 08:10
Kerry COX
Thomas, click on where it says Youtube video just above the black square here, below Gareth's name. 🙂 👍
7 May 2016, 09:18
Thomas Mayer
Thanks, mate! Just watched it, and I think it very well done and narrated. Highly interesting!
7 May 2016, 10:23
Kerry COX
Yes, I do agree mate. Most enlightening, and he made it look so easy. :-O
7 May 2016, 10:55
Rui S
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing Kezza.
7 May 2016, 11:30
Kerry COX
Thank Gareth mate. He was the one that found it. !!!
7 May 2016, 12:19
Rui S
You are right, Mate.
@ Gareth. Thx for sharing 👍
7 May 2016, 12:58
Kerry COX
🙂 👍
7 May 2016, 13:17
Gareth Windsor
You're welcome. Just thought it looked interesting and well done. Although it would be quite a challenge to make 1:48 bicycle wheels like this.
7 May 2016, 13:23
Kerry COX
Gareth, I really think that it would be possible in 1/48, provided of course, all due care and attention was applied, for sure. 🙂 👍
Maybe I will. :-O
7 May 2016, 22:43
Rui S
It's only a question of scale. Imagine an 1/72 for instance or ask The expertise in 144...P.S. and amplifier lens of course 😄
8 May 2016, 00:51
Gareth Windsor
Lol, you're just nuts enough to try it too Kerry. Once I get my models out of storage and build my 1:24 Hurricane, I want a 1930's Bently parked next to it. I'll give it a go then.
8 May 2016, 02:26
Kerry COX
LOL. 🙂 Gee, Thanks for your vote of confidence Gareth. 🙂
But I am always one to give something new a try, if only to say, 'well, not this time'. :-/
I have done some that turned out ok, but always with a wee bit of trepidation. 🙂 👍
8 May 2016, 03:27

Hi Kezza,
Do you know this ones? They seem great...

Kerry COX
Hi Rui, And yes, I have seen this one of the Trumpy' and there is one like it from Mirror models of Ireland too, but not as well detailed, in fact, a disappointment really. 🙁
Thanks for the recon on this one and I will be looking at including some more in the dio, as I am sure there was a lot of them on the ground during the war. 🙂

Album info

Mini Art are a Ukrainian model manufacturing company that are new to me, but maybe not to others, but I was completely stunned by the accuracy and detail of what they make in the way of early Harley's used by the US armed forces.
