Us military motorcycle INDIAN 741B
This article is part of a series:
So, I found this motorcycle kit from Thunder Model in scale 1/35 and thought to myself that I can build that, after all, I have built tanks in that scale. 🙂
The model was way smaller and fiddly then I expected and after completing it decided to cast it in clear resin, as it was too fragile to be put on the shelf by itself.
After the resin cured, I noticed a load of small bubbles in the resin and the motorcycle itself. 🙁
There is nothing I can do at this stage and after sanding and polishing it I can live with the way it looks. Think I'll keep it on my desk at work and have it to look at when my mind starts drifting.
What a unique and interesting method of display. Nice...! 🙂
Very good idea indeed, for the moment, I'm assembling the Zvezda R-12 heavy motorcycle, this tiny model is also very fragile, I can tell...

Provided you have a steady hand, these build into little marvels OOB, the only adjustments I made were spokes and spark- and brake lines.
wow, that is one massive build you have started on.
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Really nice build and especially the presentation in the clear resin. I wish someone would make this bike in 1/9 scale so I could build it to go with the 1/9 H-D WLA I built two years ago.

Very nice one as well Tom!
That looks amazing.
I must try a 1/9 scale motorcycle someday.
At last a child and pet safe way of displaying your models! Well done.
