...model speedway Motorcycle JAWA 884.5:



...I started with the wheels:



...engine and frame:

WOW! How did you make the tires so smooth? They almost look like rubber.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

The wheels look AMAZING! I like the "realistic" spokes. I have to agree with @Revell-Fan the tyres look like they are rubber. I am looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Awesome build of an awesome bike!!

 

[mikezax]

Thanx
The process of making the wheel can be seen in the photos, on wheels in the final phase I use wood putty, after the sealant has dried, the wheels must be completely ground and then they look like in the photos

 

[micahrogers]

truly an exceptional build so far. Those wheels and tires are da Bomb.

... at least a little progress, I moved with the engine, added the rear fender ... without modifications, I added just the ribbing of the engine cylinder ...

 

[zathros]

I forgot that model is in 1/12 scale, nice!!

Well, after 2 years, I hope I will finally finish it... The bike is not quite finished yet, wires, tubes and a simple pad are missing, on which I am slowly starting to build... a few photos:

The bike looks AMAZING!!!

 

[micahrogers]

HOLY Felgercarb. That is one NICE bike model.

 

[mijob]

That has tobe a real bike.

 

[mikezax]

Thanks, I'm glad someone likes it even though it has its faults

So I made some progress again: tubes, cables and rivets were added to the motorbike.
The pad is just that simple - cinder block with grass. I made the cinder using sand sprayed black, for the grass I used 12mm static grass.
I'll finish a few more things and hopefully I'll be done... a few photos:

The bike and especially the tires look amazing!

 

[Chuffy70]

Very nice work and a great display

 

[mijob]

I love the work you did on this model.

 

[zathros]

Awesome Flat Tracker machine! Excellent build!!

 

[mikezax]

Thanks

The model is finally finished. I added motorcycle repair tools to the pad. A few photos:

That looks FANTASTIC! Your dioramas are simple but tell a great story, and are very enjoyable to look at.

Thanks ,as they say, sometimes less is better...I originally wanted to put a tool box in there, but I didn't like it, so I didn't use it, even though I already had it ready
