This is a figure in 1/32 scale (54mm) from Tommy's War, it was given to me by Cyril.
It is the same scale as the motorcycle and is a nice model.
I have repainted him and added a base.
He is a sergeant from Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. 1915.

I thought it was a 70 or 90 mm figure. Must get more detail on my figures. Excellent work Zak !

So more 1/32 scale motorcycles.
This is from Scale Link and is etched brass and white metal.
It is a Douglas again but this time with a sidecar.
!913 - Douglas model 'R' 2.75 horsepower with sidecar.
The instructions consist of this exploded view and the odd helpful comment(?).
Attachments show the instructions and the parts supplied.
The etched fret was a little bent as the box was slightly mangled by Royal Mail!
Epoxy metal is recommended for assembly but I will probably use superglue.

More bits glued and held with the odd pin.

Great Stuff Zak,

Looking good. Did the metal parts need much cleaning up before assembly?

Also what adhesive have you used, or have you soldered it?

The instructions did not recommend soldering, it would have to be low temperature any way. I did clean the parts up and am just using superglue, I will have to see how it stands up to handling. I am not sure about this it has a clunkier feel about it compared to the Tommy's War one.

Hi Zak,

Looks good in bare metal, no doubt will look even better when painted.

Undercoat.
Vallejo as usual, airbrushed.
Some filling required here and there.
