'42 INDIAN 841 ONE DOWN , 4 TO GO...

Comments welcome.............

G: yes they did the Model XA I believe it was .You will never see it in action though as it never saw any! This was indicated in  the last reading I did .Thanks for the comments and Krow 113 only builds the oddball stuff.......................................

First colors on this ,faded olive drab with fblack exhaust and some silver and wood for leather.

As it was to build so it is to paint -a FPITA!!!!!!!!!

This is an interesting build. My father's uncle was a motorcycle messenger in WWII. I heard the stories of his exploits from Normandy (first wave), the dash across France (rescue a tank crew) and the Battle of the Bulge (ambushed). He didn't go the North Africa because of a snake bite in Louisiana. I believe he rode Harleys for the Army, but he loved Indians.

Put a little ( no pun intended) time on this one ,paint details and oil wash with silver on the engine and a smoke wash.

Todays update , stars on the tanks and an MV lens in the headlight.1/32 scale aircraft ip decal for the speedo with KK lens in progress , this ones gonna be finished first!

Howdy Krow113!

Found your next WIP at last! I believe that leaves me with one more to go, right?

Nice machine that Indian! Do I see it right, it's shaft-driven as opposed to the normal chain drive? I read those machines were very rare, weren't they?

Anyhow, the baby starts looking really good. The road base is nice, too. The casting of the centerpiece looks really complex, I wonder what it must have taken to pull this one off!

Good luck with your project, have a nice day

Thanks Pawel!

More today to tryto finish.Cables from a singlestrand of wire ,only took 3 tries each.........And bags on , fork top on wheels and seat next.

1% left would be ,final touch up , name plate , ground touch up.What an epic !@#$%^&* ing struggle to get this into reasonably presentable shape .I feel it will be a very interesting attraction at the show.So a coupla allround shots and a scale.Comments are welcome ................

Krow113,

the bike is looking really fine on the base.

I have two questions, if I may:

1) What is your other WIP apart from the Bobber and the Scammel?

2)Is this Indian the shaft driven variant? Do you know how many of them were built?

Thanks in advance for the answers, looking forward to see this one finished, have a nice day

Pawel

Pawel -Thanks ,search my name for wips. Production of this model was a lot I will look it up tonight.It is the shaft drive model.

Final on this one .Base plate and detail painting done.I had to replace the hand lever as the kit ones were ugly. Small shards of brass flat bar for those.I hope this is interesting to some of you ,I appreciate the looks and any comments.

This is the limit for my camera ,I hope the pix look ok.................The 4 wips left are:

1/48 Scammel SV2S

1/24 Focke-Wulf D-9

1/9 Bobber

1/16 WW1 Tommy

All wips on here check 'em out!

Howdy!

That leaves me with the Fw-190 to check out - I knew there was something more!

Now the Indian looks nice, and I like the base with static grass a lot. But it's hard to see the details exactly, as the fotos are a little blurry - could you post some sharper ones?

Thanks for sharing, have a nice day

Pawel

Pawel: I will try but I think I am at the end of my cameras capability.Thanks for your continued comments!
