Lots of fiddly pieces that will need painting first.

More fiddly parts... If I knew anything about the machine, I might be tempted to add a few cables and wires. Anyone know which m/c this is?

very fat spokes on the wheels, so I'll try to thin them down a little.

Figures for later, with options for an extra arm for one soldier.

Many thanks, Dietmar, these photos will be very useful. I'll try not to disappoint, Villiers, et al 🙂

interesting subject. I am in. I am surprised that Meng did not give photo etches spokes to this bike. I would have improved the appearance considerably. Maybe you put new spokes in yourself...

Hi Michael, I also have a French bycycle with lots of PE, including spoked wheels, waiting in the queue. This one will be worked on first, then we'll see if I'm up to the challenge...

So, I think it's done for now.

I'm sure an extra arm makes it easier to ride that motorcycle

Watching, the motorcycle came out well!

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Ben. Now it needs the dispatch rider 🙂

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your 'likes', everyone - much appreciated. I've made a start on the dispatch rider.....

Robert Podkoński
Nice!

Bruce Huxtable
Thanks, Robert. I'm working on the next two figures now.

Bruce Huxtable
Hmmm... Acrylic Matt coat made them shiny....

Robert Podkoński
You can always say the day was rainy... 😉

Bruce Huxtable
True, true.... 😉

Bruce Huxtable
Enamel matt coat made them less shiny, thank goodness!

Villiers de Vos
Your figure painting skills are very good.

21 April 2022, 20:16

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Villiers, I think these were my first successful ones, and done solely with acrylics. So many talented modellers' work have been carefully observed, and I think I must have been inspired by their results 🙂

Dietmar Bogatzki
Great results, Bruce, wish my figure painting would be as good as yours 👍

22 April 2022, 05:05

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your kind words, Dietmar. Good luck with yours for your dio 🙂
