Amazing work Scottie. To detail at this level, you must have the patience of a saint.

The sidecar has now finally joined the rest of the bike. There is still a bit to do the spare wheel never got finished so I have that to finish spoking if that's a word. The MG needs to be built.

I tried again to give the yellow finish some depth using oil dots. And keep the chipping to the edges and the worst of the wear to the tub.

The scratched jerry can holder is now in place I will add the can and close it all up.

The seat cusions were covered with dried lens wipes they are nice and strong and have a nice fabric finish. They were painted dark grey and then finished with oils. The weathering inside is WIP.

another view of the side of the tub. Hopefully you can see the results of the oil wash. I am happy with the result and it just goes to show that you don't need expensive after market products.

Mark,
They are really easy to use. Dampen the surface with white spirt and a wide brush, Next place random dots of colour including near the base colour white, browns greens and yellows depending on the base colour then again using a dampened wide soft flat brush pull down through the pain in the direction that rain or prevailing weather.

I have fitted the jerry can into its carrier. Again a big shout out to Ben (yambam26) for 3D printing it for me the detail can really be seen now.

I have another can from Ben I might paint that one up for water.

Cheers

That is looking the business …

Just one small thing: does the jerry can really say Feuergefahflich like I think it does? If so, maybe it needs a few select bits of dirt to hide the difference with Feuergefährlich :smiling3:

This is absolutely stunning, this is another of those builds that just defy words to explain how good it is, are you sure it's not pictures of a real one ?, the whole paint and weathering is spot on, it looks so realistic it's unbelievable..a very well done job indeed..one to be more than proud of.. :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2:
