Pocher 1/4 Ducati resuscitated

[Guest]

Hi all I decided to resurrect this model. Not sure which way I'm going yet, tricolour, rat bike or maybe another custom job.

I actually quite like how it looks with the covers off and dusty it kind of looks naturally neglected

Yes it would look great in a garage type diorama.

Looks real is what it looks.

More dismantling.
I think I'm leaning to stripped street racer.
I've put the radiator on the 1/12 porsche dio to give an idea of size (the porsche is not small)

More rebuilding of the engine (I really think I'm getting the hang of making plastic look like metal) I already like the look of the whole thing over the look of the original engine, I thought I had slightly over weathered the first build so I'm cutting back a bit on that

Next update (I wish I'd kept the instructions) I'm quite pleased with how it's going so far.

[Guest]

Thanks Simon got one

[Tim Marlow]

Looks fabulous Ken, but are you sure you don’t need a Haynes manual for that

[Guest]

Do they even produce them anymore

[Tim Marlow]

Looks like it
