Model building motorcycles the awesome way

[BikerBabe]

Anyone ever heard of Pére Tarrago?
Well - meet a model builder of extraordinary craftmanship:

He builds every single motorcycle from scratch to perfection in 1/5 or 1/6.
My favourite is (of course) the BMW R32, the very first motorcycle ever built by BMW in 1923:

A wheel getting built:

Raw frame and wheels:

Working on the seat bottom:

Front fork and spring dampeners:

The raw engine:

Testing and fitting:

Engine almost finished:

Pre paint and finish:

The finished model motorcycle:

I sure wouldn't mind being the new pround owner of the BMW there, but I sure as hell can't afford that model!

He has even made spoke nipples. Hats of to him.

What!? Not even an Indian!?

 

[Gnomey]

Yeah, really fantastic work! I take it they are fully functional as well (and cost a fortune).

1/6 Scale? My GI Joe needs one!

I'm not particularly 'in' to bikes, but I have to say that is beautiful craftsmanship. Thanks for posting.
