Tony's "In Deep"

[Guest]

Being my first GB,I will make it a small diorama. Picked a 1/35th Tamiya Kettenkraftrad off E-Bay a few days ago. I was going to use it for another project I had planned but I think this will be better used on the GB.

Will be adding a little more detailing to the kit as I build it.

I love the 'Trad', it has to be the weirdest concept bike ever. Always adds interest to a dio so this should be a good one Tony.

[Guest]

Cheers Graham. The kit is pretty good so far. More pics to follow shortly.

Hiya Tony, so glad you have chosen the Ketten as a subject...i have a real soft spot for it...so much so i managed to get these pics when i went to the tank fest week before last, hope you like em. Best of luck with the build, i reclon you will turn out a blinder with this one, all the best Martin.

Nice, that trailer sets it off real well :-)

[Guest]

I may change the cover to a material one and have it loose over the trailer. Tony

[Guest]

Like it, that will really bring it to life. Let us know how it goes mate, cheers Martin :-0

[Guest]

Off to town tomorrow will go into the big material shop and see what I could use for the cover. May try covering the sadsle and the bench seat too. Tony

What a great looking, little kit. From the box art I would think it's quite an old kit but the moulding is really crisp. If you wanted to detail it a little you could always add the odd cable etc. Add that to your fabric cover and I think this will end up a smashing little subject.

All the best for the build.

Ps. I've got some more pics of the Kettenkrad I took at The War and Peace show as it chugged along through the sea of mud carrying 3 reinactment Germans! I have them if you want them but I'll wait to see what the decision is on a 'reference thread'.

[Guest]

Cheers Paul. Im all for the reference thread,it would help everyone..

[Guest]

The reference Forum is now open guys. thanks for the idea, it will be a great tool for the forum.
