Hi Libor,
very nicely painted your BMW. It must be difficult to paint this bike with such small parts and difficult to reach spots. Thats even more so for the engine I guess.
Does your bike have a speedometer? I've some references that shows a speedometer in the frontlight and also my tamiya R75 did have one. On first sight I cannot find it on your bike.

Hi Jelger, thank you for the kind words. The engine is next, and the rear bearings, sure that wont be easy
It has one on the top of the light, but not done yet. There will be a decal with scale, and glass over it. I have to add also back light, a couple more things and number plates. I leave these when everything else is finished. Still a lot to do
Cheers

Thank you, buddy, much appreciated. The painting is done, actually, I have also some weathering left behind. The final touch will be made, once the decals are applied, back light mounted and number plates added.
Thanks for looking

Hi Libor,
Great painting on your bike. Nice those different colours, although they all are dark colours, they give some nice variation. The weathering is subtle which how I like it. This is a true eye catcher in your railway dio (there you will put it, right?). Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Jelger, for your nice words. That will definitely be a part of my dio, a personal vehicle of the ruined building officer. I hope to finish it tomorrow, there is just a few things left to be done. Probably I should give it another wash, some greasy spots on the engine and around the tank lid, and maybe the tires could be more dusty. The weathering actually looks much better on the model, because of its size I cant get any more autenthic pictures. I´ll try to get some shots outside, when finished.
Cheers

The bike finished. Probably I could have done painting better, but according to the model size I am happy enough. Some pictures, more can be seen in my gallery here:

Thanks for you patience and all the comments, I´ll be back soon with something else.

Thanks for the new images! I like this bike and its fine details!
It´s interesting, to see a size-reference.
Good work!
