.I started working on a 1944 Norton Military Motorcycle. Here are some progress pictures:
I spotted the switch on the headlamp... Details.
Again, really neat. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

.Can someone make 2 miniature saddle bags for my Norton Motorcycle model? 1-1/4" Wide and 1-1/2" tall. Here is a sample picture:
.I got the motorcycle assembled today. All that is left to do is sand and clear coat.
.I added the saddle bags and sleep mats. I used velcro strips as straps.
I use to have involuntary muscle movement that effected my fine motor skills. Use to annoy the hell out of me. Putting a nut on a bolt behind an object was almost impossible because of the shaking. Since I started scroll sawing I got my fine motor skills back! It's like therapy for me.Looking good, really good! They way I shake I could never do that. Kudos on your work!
I don't design my models. I purchase plans on-line and build mostly as designed. I do modify the plans to make the models more authentic. The designers take too much artistic license in their plans. I also add a lot more details to the models based on pictures I find on-line.That is just a high level talent of wood mastery and I feel honoured to get a look at it. Thanks so much for sharing. You catch so much detail we're losing sleep staring at them.
One of the least modeled yet sassiest military vehicles created to date is the G749 series. It has compound curves and sexy lines that would be very difficult to re-create. It's one of the first large MV's designed around the nuclear age with documented Canadian production beginning in November 1951 to November 1956.
The variants leave little to the imagination and it's one reason it was one of the most widely used 'after-service' MV's even to this day. Saving the history of MV's with wood models is just cool. I sure hope you get a chance to carve up one of these. If I do it, they won't look anything like a truck.
Thanks again for the pictures.
.I designed and built a trailer for motorcycles.
