Hopefully I have this in the place.
This was the first model I remember building as a kid so it seemed like a great place to restart. The BMW R75 with sidecar from Tamyia.
My plan for the build is to have the bike stationed next to a checkpoint hut with a barrier, one figure in the machine gun seat of the side car the other manning the hut. I’m not sure how accurate a scenario it is but I like the way the parts are fitting onto the base and I figure there is just enough scratch bits to build to challenge myself without going crazy and quitting.
So far I have most of the bike painted up (I realize now my paint was too thick and will fix this next time) still need to do the stowage and add decals.
I have a prototype barrier built out of some bits of security tag I was messing with at work whilst bored. Need to change out the green rope for tea bag string once I get tea bags with string on them, and figure out my math for getting it to counter weight correctly once I work out how far I want it to hang over.
Need to make the hut, just thinking a little one man wooden type with a tin roof. Excuse the picture this was a very rough first idea out of a box lid on my desk at work.
Oh and base it with sand and some kitty grit for the edge of the road. Idea’s for improvement greatly received and suggestions/links to how to do rifle straps would be awesome.
Thanks
Torv.
