Fargo and Romanmodels ....Thanks!!!!

Hello to all,
I gave the first coat of primer.....there is some little hole to be filled, and is ready for the color.
After we have to do the wheels.
This is the model now....

Hello all!!

as it dries the color, I prepared the drawings of the wheels.
The tread is a good bet because is large only 3mm!!
Now I build a wheel to see if the design is good.

Very nice work - this is pretty much how model airplanes are built.

I think Papercruise means your way of building this model is similar to the way some types of aircraft model are built, Enrico.

The idea of building over a form (or "buck" as it used to be called in wood or metal working) and then removing the buck from the shell, which in the case of your model here is the body and cabin of the Piaggio vehicle.
Some types of aircraft, both model and full size, are constructed in a similar way.

I certainly admire the methods/ways you have built this model of yours, it is an education to read this thread, and I am enjoying it very much.

Genial and Respectful Regards Enrico, Uyraell.

Thanks for the explanation Uyraell

I even did some work on my model...I built a test wheel to control the drawings of the parts.
seen it all ok I built the five wheels. Are to be finished, but almost ready to be mounted.
I also painted the model......

This is one of the most intricate and detailed models I have ever had the privilege of seeing built, in a thread that details exceptionally well the techniques employed, some of which are not only new but very clever and very inspiring.

Your reader not only learns, but has the pleasure of sharing the journey of this build in a new and interesting way. This is an excellent Thread and an equally excellent build Enrico! Mille Grazie!

Kind and Respectful Regards Enrico my friend, Uyraell.

Hello Uyraell, thanks for the nice words!!
build models is my passion and see that my models like you, I am very pleased!

Meanwhile, I finished the wheels....this is the result.

Now it begins to look like a fire fighting motorcycle

(and while the model itself is great, I'm more impressed about the time you used to explain how you did things)
