Triumph 3HW 1:9

[Angus73]

Hi Guys, now a special project. This will be for charity auction. Last year I gave Norton, and was very surprised, as reached a very nice price.

 

 

It has encouraged me to do the same this year, with Triumph. I have started military Italeri version, but I want to make it civil one. In Poland we have had in January, for 29 years annual charity, country wide event, dedicated to support children. Keep fingers crossed for high final bid! 

 

 

Regards and see you soon

Guys do you have any idea how to enlarge tires? current size makes rims halfs impossible to put inside, fit, make them enough close to glue and use some putty. the diameter is to short and  I am afraid i will brake then; thanks in adavance for support

[Angus73]

Hi Guys, the progress goes on, having advice how to put tires on rims, I made spokes of steel cord 0,5mm and spokes' nests of surgical needles 0,8mm. One fits to another without single drop of glue  regards

If the rest of the bike turns out as well as the wheels,  you're going to make a great price at the auction - Andy

Hi Guys, thing go on. Rear suspension almost completed. Some small parts are missing but, the wheel, chain and transmition completed. I am very surprised, that all parts fits perfectly, almost no glue, just few drops at mounting points.

In some of the photos, I thought I was looking at your reference pictures of a real bike!

Wow, just found this, you are producing some really great looking models, with a super finish. I like the respoked wheels, they are a big improvement.

Good luck with your auction!

Hi, I haven't had too much time lately, but I have managed to do a nice helmet.

This will be a cherry on the cake during auction
