Thread: Finished 1930 BSA Sloper & Sidecar

Amazing! even down to the tyre valves.
Fantastic job.
Regards

Oh my goodness me Mel, words fail me; who could describe the beauty and detail of such a MASTERPIECE.....MAYBE EXCELLENT IS A START.
Thanks for all the extra photos, but a few questions please.
What are the timbers you've used?
What are the dimensions of the model?
What finish have you used?
How many hours of patience work has gone into this magnificent build?
Thank you again Mel.
I think there would be a que a mile long to sit in on one of your master classes.......maybe one day I'll get back to Tassie.
Cheers, crowie

Absolutely beautiful

Mel, What a beauty, the detail is beyond my ability to even think about making something of that quality. Truly a craftsman.:2tsup. John.

What else can I say except just mind blowing. A FANTASTIC model well done.

It seems like all the questions I wanted to ask have already been asked except one Was it made from plans or photo's

Been waiting for this!! Looked it up on the weekend. Must be psychic!!!

Master Craftsman Build, Can't think of any other way to describe the model.

I am in awe of your work diamondt, gotta agree with the other comments also.
A great build, thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Ian

Hi DiamondT,

All I can say you do some beautiful work. The detail is excellent and you are one great craftsman. I will be looking forward to seeing your next masterpiece. That is right out of range and the best I could do is to dream that I made something like
that.

Cheers Graham.

Made from photos & I googled a side view plan and scaled it up.
