Velorex, 1/72, Eduard

[Prince Ital Mike]

Hallo,

this is my latest creation, the 1/72 Velorex. It's an Eduard kit, whis is quite new and contains about 40 parts including photoetched parts.

The Velorex is an iconic czech car. We call it "hadraplán" which means "rugplane". It's a trike with chain driven rear wheel and motorcycle engine. If you want to know more about this legend, you can read an article on Wikipedia:

I was heading for a kind of steampunk look. The propeller in the back is just for fun.

Interior (unfinished build)

Comparison with my 1/25 Hudson Hornet:

 

Thank you for attention!

Thanks. I used the toothpick and the pin for detailing. Sometimes the tip of the pin wasn't sharp enough. It was driving me crazy.

I'll bet. Heck I bet it was a job in itself just trying to see to detail it. You must have one heck of a magnifying glass lol

Given the scale, that is an impressive build!

 

My head hurts just thinking about the skill and patience that would be required on such  a small car.

Cute ! No way could I ever build that.

I'd never heard of those cars before. Great Job!

Thank you. Yes, it was a headache-friendly build.

Thanks. I'm sure that you could build it easily!

I had to look twice, but I spotted it that is really cool..

[Prince Ital Mike]

Thank you very much!

Great Job on an interesting subject.  I have a couple reverse trikes planned 1/18th scale so they will be just a bit larger.

I admire your patience and talent. When I saw your post, I assumed it was a ship lol Thanks for the surprise!!
