1/9 scale Triumph 3HW finished (pics)

That is awesome!!! How did you get that rust finish? It looks like something that was sitting out behind the woodshed for the last 50 years!! Great weathering!

Karel...........

I'm simply staggered at the level of finish you've applied to this build. The observation and subtlety is beyond certainly my imagination.

I am seriously struggling for superlatives......... and the more I think about it the more I can only come up with............. Oh,- My,- God!!!!

The other thing I find so amazing is the lack of response to this post, even the views are low - Absolute shame on everyone that calls themselves a modeller. I don't care what you build, the techniques used in this build transcend genre, and serve only to highlight a talent of epic proportions.

All the very best Karel, ................... Longbow.

Thanksss 

Quite possibly some of the best painting and weathering i have ever seen, beautiful work indeed my hat is off to you.

Absolutely stunning. Words often bandied about willy nilly but this truly deserves them.

One fault. That Triumph doesnt have a huge oil puddle underneath the crankcase. All old Triumphs leak. Not one or two of them.....ALL OF THEM. Go on. fill it with oil, I bet it leaks LOL.

I think Triumph did that on purpose. See Americans expect oil leaks because we are used to Harleys!

As a rider of an '06 Triumph and model enthusiest I say WOW!! Thats AWESOME!
