Bianchi 350 cc - Protar

I can only post in English....is it a problem?

I'm an Architect living in Santiago de Chile and I would like to show my model motorcycles in construction...

The first model is a Protar 1/9 scale Bianchi 350 cc "Freccia Celeste"....

I'm assembling this first model for a client who wants superdetailing in a series of motorcycles he'll put in a personal museum...

This is the box:




The metal frame being cleaned and the scale hardware used to assemble it, also notice the homemade tools for fixing the hardware...



The engine basic block, glued and rectified to look as one piece....








To be continued....

Thanks for looking...

Mario

Hola Mario,

and welcome to this forum. What a promising start! I built this model many years ago and I still like it very much (please let me know, when you are interested in pictures of my model).

Just as hint: Take care when bending the spokes. Within my recollection, the bending-tool didn't deliver the required gauge and I spolit part of the needles in the kit. It was not so easy to find replacement. But don't loose heart.

I'll gladly watch your progress. Good luck!

Thanks Plastinator!....I would like very much to see your model pictures, thanks for the spoke tip too, it comes just in time!

Regards...

Here you are, Mario. I would be delighted if these pictures gave you some additional inspiration. I forgot to mention how I also admire your self-built toolkit (which looks very stylish). Enjoy:

Beautifully done model Plastinator!....thanks much......

By the way, the tools are very easily done, the box spanners are made from Allen head bolts which have an hexagon recess that matches the brass bolt heads....any handle will work and I turn the Allen head thin on the lathe first, so it will enter in tight places...

Good luck!

We continue with the frame assembly with scale hardware...

The engine basic block is tested here for fit also...special reinforcements added where needed too...

A detail of the engine I couldn't resist.....the clutch cover had a basrelief trying to imitate a ventilation....what I did was to file away and make the window with the form in the cover....then I recessed its back and installed a micromesh which looks much better!....it was not an easy task due to the size of the parts involved, but I think it came out OK....even the mesh being very fine, you can see through...

The cover mounted on the engine's block....you can also see here the cylinder's low portion mounted to the block with scale screws...

Notice also the cover paint, a small amount of texture and you have a good representation of cast aluminum...this is done adding some very fine sand to the paint and using airbrush from a distance...

To be continued and thanks for looking!... :wink:

Hi Mario,

excellent work, very good pictures: big compliments!

If you allow me to be a little picky: the cover you have so nicely improved with the mesh covers the chain between crankschaft and magneto (not clutch).

Für Interessierte unter Euch, die nicht so gut in Englisch unterwegs sind: Die Struktur des mit Drahtgewebe versehenen Gehäusedeckels hat Mario dadurch erzielt, dass er der Farbe feinen Sand untergemischt und das ganze mit dem Airbrush aus größerer Distanz aufgetragen hat.
Beste Grüße vom Plastinator

Thanks for your comments Plastinator!....and of course you're right about the cover...I had a glitch there... :(

I would love to know what you wrote in German below your comments... :D

am glad very much you now also here with myself is to be shown around us your works.
If still nothing has too written the pictures already in the SMC seen, however.
Nice I can inform you now here how much I of the present construction admires.

Please me about other reports. Welcome here in the WMF.

We continue with some scratchbuilt parts for the engine....the distribution shaft turned from aluminum, the oil outlets, brass washers etc...










All the holes have been drilled and tapped to receive the scale hardware, all the engine is assembled with these, no glue used at all...





The engine at this stage held together only with scale hardware, in this way you can dissasemble everything for painting and assemble happily after... :lol:



Testing the front fork in place...the frame has received some primer coats already...







The front wheel hubs and the brake drum have been rectified in the lathe and the spoke holes have been redrilled...







This post has been too long so I say goodbye here....

Cheers

Mario

You want to know what I translated to my folks? I only informed them, that I'm building this model a second time and that I have asked you to display my fotos to show the progress here under your name... (don't worry, I'm only kidding).

Awesome!

Hi Mario,

this is absolutely fantastic what you present here. Though i'm not familaiar with the Protar kit you use, i can simply admire the improvements you make by using scale hardware and selfmade parts. Real eye candy.

Can't wait to see further progress.

Regards,
Bob
