Hi Guys

After letting Stephen know what I was doing (thanks Stephen), I have decided to show you a little scratch build I have been doing along side of my LVG (not LVG Related), it is WW1 Flight related, Its a little piece involving a ModelCellar Werner Voss and as the title says a 1914 German Wander Motorcycle that Voss used to ride. What is in the images below is the result of two solid days scratch building with a couple of days more of detailing before painting.

I promise - That this will be the only figure I will put here, It is meant to show the scale.

Dave

I wish we could come up with some images to help you complete the rear end of the motorcycle.

Hi STephen

thanks for the reply, I actually have about 50 images of the correct date bike for the build, but things were so, shall we say hard to replace and repair back then, every single bike I have looked at is different. I wish I could finish the bike off, but I am running out of time before I actually come over to the MFCA at Valley forge in May, so I am doing the LVG and various other projects all at once. But I promise I will add loads more detail to this before it gets to the painting stage.

So, you can be found here also, eventually, Dave?

I like this idea of yours and what you have done with the bike so far.

Cheers

The figure and the front portion of the Motorcycle really look good so far. An interesting subject to model. I will be looking forward to more of your progress.
