I've recived the German sidecar parts from Pickle, love those stuff. I have to complete them even regular job is busy. Thanks for your patient to view my post!

Go man , go !!!!!

I drill and cut off the gap of motorcycle chassis and fender, that looks better detail than the original. Assemble the sidecar and tires with superglue, fill the gap and bubbles of sidecar and tire with putty, send them smooth with sandpaper when stiffen.


*Spray the entire parts with acrylic matt black as primer.
*Pick the dark grey spray over the parts.
*Screw the body then glue the back sit.
*Putty fills the screw hole.
*Glue the sidecar handle and one of the gun blocks.

Looking good,new figures will be fantastic! keep them coming.

Looking forward to the Harley figures.

Looking forward to the Harley figures.

Yep, I keep this in mind, cos I've started for some stage already. Since I've got the German sidecar from Pickel, I can't wait to build them then the vehicle really needs the soldiers riding on it.

I'll keep the Harley figure after this.

Hey Weylen,

Make sure you put the wheel on first before you glue the fender on.

Otherwise you will not be able to slide on the wheel.

Yep, I've notice that.
I almost confuse the tire! Luckly I've the other set as reference, following the SC. F. B,
everything went well.

*The original exhaust pipe supporter doesn’t looks good to me, that I removed half of it; then fix the surface.
*I used aluminum wire to replace the original exhaust kit.
*Drill the hole to connect the aluminum wire.
*Bend the wire to 90 degree at the rare transmission box, and then connect to the muffler (cut it from original kit).



*Add the wire as fender support.
*Spray the dust effect on tires and under sidecar; glue the other side of MG holder then set up the MG.
*I used Gunze “Dark iron” as paint chip effect.

Washed with oil paint.


The shot of the original and modify kit.


Complete work.

Your Indy bike and sidecar look Great!!!! The added detail you've done to the bike along with the wheels Pickel made, make it look more like a model than a toy. The bike along with the sidecar is one fantastic kit.

I'm still at the sanding stage with my Pickel kits, maybe paint by the weekend.

[plasticboy]

Go for it, mate!

[ram04]

That is truly amazing, to take a toy and make it into a model is great, I like the fact that you made a true R75, most people would'nt change the exhaust and add the braces for the fender.

I can't wait to see your figures for this

[YT]

Great work.

[plasticboy]

German para rider is on the way! Stay tune~

[flyboy_fx]

HITLER!
lol


Man you great! Asians are good at everything!

That is so fantastic I might explode!

[pickelhaube]

It does look a little like Hitler.

Here is my first attempt at the Indybike/side car. It is the first model I have finished in about 20 years. It was a lot of work but was fun. It was a full build for one of my customers. i first painted it field grey it did not look right. Then I painted it greener. It looked like a German bike painted in American OD green. So panzer gray it is. With all the hassel I gave myself it was still fun to do !!!!

Your Indy carside car looks great. !!

[plasticboy]

Well done of your sidecar! My next one will do it for DAK version.

I didn't plan to make Hitler head, so you guys feels the head looks like him, right!

It actually does . Put that little paint brush under his nose and you got him.

Maybe you should do a full fig of him. I KNOW IT WOULD SELL.

PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST HATED GUYS IN THE 20TH CENTURY.

I know I would want one and I am not into figures.

I would want it fully painted though.
