WWII German BMW R75 Motorcycle with side car

I modified my Indy motorcycle and made a second one. I love the cutted backpacks on this, they look so much like the original ones.

Comments welcome!

Great job DP! Looks just like the real thing! And yes, you cut the backpacks pretty well.

So that's what you needed the cut backpack for.
It looks really cool! I like the minifigures.

Im just a big fan of WW2 + you Flak gun.
Good work on cutting the backpacks, and i like you bikes too.

Nice job on cutting the backpacks and nice use of pieces.

Thanks guys! All credit for cutting the backpacks goes to my dad.

Did you use an X-Acto knife?

He used a knife yes, not X-acto. I've never seen that brand here.
He first used a small saw and then cut it smooth using the knife. I still have the upper part of the roll which I'm probably going to use as a German gas mask tube. (It contained a gas mask)

Oh, sounds pretty cool, I can't wait to see it finished.

It's still just an idea so it might take a while .

How could you!? I was expecting better than mixing yellow and fleshies!!

Astor, I can't help it that BA doesn't make them in flesh.

Can't you just use yellow heads and hands?

I just LOVE flesh ones. So much better than yellow. Plus you barely notice.

Sorta just looks like they have yellow shirts underneath their grey ones. But I didn't really notice it when I first saw them, could you paint them that color?

I kinda agree with Gerrard on this. Can you paint it flesh with model paint or...or... I DON'T KNOW! Just change the stinken darn color for once.

It's harder than you'd think. Getting paint that matches lego's flesh is pretty much impossible, and mixing it takes hours and a lot of paint. He can't change it everyone, Deal with it!

You know what, he actually can. Because if you have a skinny ( I mean REALLY skinny) and have the right materials, you can change the color. Now I know its not that simple, trust me, I know, but it'll do you good dude.

I know too. I used to sculpt and paint everyday! Don't double post either. It's a free ticket to Ban-Land.

Ban-land? What is that, a band that plays on land? I mean, come on, Ban-land?!? Give me a break Bantha.

No, he means you will be banned from this site. Comprende?

Back to the MOC, I really like these mods DP! They look good!

I really like that idea of cutting off the backpacks part and the modification looks realy good!

It wasn't his idea... but it is very cool!

Oh thanks for telling me that and I'm gonna use that idea for my WIP of commander Bly with decals and stuff.

Bravo! I've got nothing to say but: Where's the MG42 ?
