Motorcycle & Sidecar Progress
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/1/2/5/1247125-34174-31-720.jpg)
It's a small kit, but with a whole lot of detail. I like it 🙂.

Nice detail of the driver and passenger figures.

Everything base painted. I used rubber black for the motorcycle to prepare for the detail painting of the tires, and also a base for thegerman grey of the frame/tank/etc.
The engine parts are grey metallic and the weapons gun metal. The rest of the accessories are painted NATO black. All Tamiya colors.

A neutral grey paint for the base of the two figures.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/5/8/8/1247588-34174-36-720.jpg)
a bit of pre-shading with XF-2.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/5/8/9/1247589-34174-91-720.jpg)
All of the detail painting is finished. Next is decals and weathering.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/1/5/4/1248154-34174-49-720.jpg)
Everything is now finished and with some light weathering too. I tried to add a BMW emblem. It looks pretty nice at normal viewing distance, but is pretty smudged in these pictures taken at close range.

I just noticed the rear numberplate is a bit loose. Decal lifting due to handling even though I have put at least two layers of clear on top. Has to be fixed. 🙁

The bags are superglued on, but the packs on top of the wheel and passenger seat are only fixed with PVA glue. I will have to wait with mounting the machine gun until I have finished the figures.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/3/1/3/1255313-34174-84-720.jpg)
My figure painting process is really coming together now. First skin tone on the faces and hands.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/3/1/4/1255314-34174-47-720.jpg)
Then base and detail painting.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/3/1/5/1255315-34174-93-720.jpg)
Last step is dry brushing and some washes to get the highlights and shadows.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/3/1/6/1255316-34174-59-720.jpg)
Figures finished with their helmets glued in place.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/3/1/7/1255317-34174-25-720.jpg)
Finished!
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/3/1/8/1255318-34174-51-720.jpg)
I've added some dust and washes to the model.

Thank you Villiers! 🙂
The little motorcycle is now finished. Now on to something completely different, the little green men. 😉
