  Un Freakin belivable!! Alright Karel come clean this is actually a real Zundap, right??

   Please say yes cause I'm felling really inadequat right now. 

   Congrats .

If ever there was a model that deserved an article in FSM, this was it. Congratulations Karel. Quality.

Absolute ART, Karel! A real law-dropping show-stopper!

This is truly a masterpiece!

The Zundapp is published in the readers gallery in the September issue

If you haven't yet, you ought to write and send an article of this build to FSM and see if they would publish it in one of their issues. This is stuff that I like to read about.

OH       MY       DOG!

After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I went to see page 2, then it fell again when I saw those rusty pipes............ it's still there somewhere on the floor.

Now I want a freakin' motorcycle! 

PLEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEE build a TANK! 

This work is pristine, it is absolutely without fault, beyond reproach........what can I say! Choke, choke, gag,gag, g....This is real.....it's like I can feel the grit in my mouth from ridin' it.

D@MN! 

Today i finished the Zundapp

I detailed the frontfork caps with thin pieces of copperwire, and replaced the saddle springs because the kit springs were to thin and too long.

The next project will be a 1/9 scale Harley Davidson Liberator from Italeri.

Thanks for watching,

Karel

A.W.E.S.O.M.E ....very nice weathering

Indeed i won`t mind posting pics of other large motorcycles

About the chipping; the color of the plastic is exactly the good color (German Grey), so yes i chipped of the paintcoat with a knife to the bare plastic.

I am just lucky with the color of the kit.......

Karel

Very nice Patas and welcome to the forum. Hopefully Foxbat wont mind you posting your pics.

Foxbat. On your frame, how did you produce such realistic chipping? Did you actually chip the top coat off? As there looks like there is depth to them. Many thanks.

 Hello everybody!

I like such big scales too. Allow me please to show here my last model, in which I am working now.

Any opinion welcome.

Regards,

Patas

Im lost for superlatives, that exhaust just looks real!!!! How did you get the finish on the thing. If it wasnt for the Humbrol pot i swear i was looking at the real thing. ...Guy

The rust is a combination of pastels and oilpaint, after that i sprayed on a coat of matt clear varnish. When it was completly dry, i rubbed it lightly with my fingertops to get some shiny edges, which gives a more realistic look.
