From BenitoV: More German Motorbikes (20 points)

As a continuation with the topic of my submission of last week, I bring for this Tuesday more German Early War goodies, in the form of a motorbike with sidecar, to be used as the LMG support for my motorized unit.

 

I have a second model in store but I could not finish basing the model in time. Actually the support unit was supposed to be a total of three of these bikes with sidecars ... but it seems that I forgot to print the third file and unfortunately I have the printer in my family's vacation house (closed until Spring).

 

As with the motorbikes presented last week, this is a Eskice model. Nice detail and very dynamic poses as usual, although the face sculpting is slightly cartoonie.

 

So small addition to my Challenge score this week: after requesting clarification from the minion-in-charge, I was told this model will be worth 20 points, as it comprises two vehicles with two riders (each 10 points)  









That's a nice looking motorcycle combo, Benito. It's a shame you missed printing the third file and can't access your 3D printer at the moment.

  2. I really like these models and you've done an amazing job on them, Benito. As Peter suggests, I may have to print some off for my Mad Maximillian project.

  3. Nice motorbike Benito! With this and the previous bikes, I think you ought to do a fourth one, but with the two Dr Jones as rider and passenger! ;)

  5. As always Benito, your brush hits it out of the park. This looks great.

    So...the sidecar is a separate vehicle? Like, it drives on its own? I think some Keynsian economists have infiltrated the Challenge scoring spreadsheets...

    1. Interesting thinking... being an economist by profession myself, I confess to lean more to the Keynesian-liberals side of the field than to the uber-promarket liberalism school of thought

    1. Not sure about the rules sets, but at least they are great visually on a table
