LDO Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I only got a few photos. The theme for the contest was big scale. I like this sidecar rig. The builder pieced it together from other, unknown kits. I think that is pretty cool. The Protar racing sidecar is pretty cool, too.
LDO Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 The old Esci/Aurora/a couple of others…1/9 scale German WWII BMW sidecar rig with aftermarket rider, dog, and a few accessories. The whole aftermarket set is called “Ketten Hund” or Chain Dog. The dog is wearing a chain like a necklace, so I guess that’s where the name came from. It’s a very nice resin set.
LDO Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 (edited) 1/8 scale Big T with modifications. The blower is from a parts pack. Does anyone know if was front mount in the parts pack, or was it modified for this application? Edited January 5 by LDO
LDO Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 A couple of really nice 1/24 low riders. Beautiful paint. Cool motorcycle, too.
LDO Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 “An act of mercy” WWI diorama of a French soldier rescuing a German soldier from quicksand in a shell crater. I heard about this on a podcast. It’s based on a photo of a real situation like this.
LDO Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 I thought this ancient Greek battleship was cool, too. It’s an injection molded kit. I may look for one of these some day.
ybsluos Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Lee, thank you for posting these wonderful pictures. I have long wanted that Protar BMW 500 motorcycle kit with the side car, but the ones I have found online are quite expensive to say nothing of the fact that if I built one, it wouldn’t come out anywhere near as nice as this! This is the first time I’ve seen one finished. And again, thanks for posting the nice photos my friend. -Mark

I’m not saying it was never offered in a parts pack. I’m not arguing that point but as far as I know it can be found in that kit. The kit shows a dragster with twin engines and they have the typical Roots belt drive superchargers up on top of the manifold. But as far as I know somebody on this very forum mention that the kit contains extra parts, including the front mount superchargers in the kit. I hope this helps.

I’ll have to look for that Lindberg kit. 1
