Hello! :hand:
I want to present to you my first entirelly made by me scale model - Balkan 50! It is the first Bulgarian motorcycle with cubic capacity of 50cc. It is manufactured in 1975 and became the most loved motorcycle. Literally in every bulgarian familly there was one!
More info for the model: Scale 1/6. It took me more than 250 hours to 3D model every part of it. Then i have printed all the parts on my resin 3D printer. After that i made silicone molds and poured urethane resin for most of the parts and polyurethane rubber for tires and front muffs. The seat is sewn with real leather and foam. The blue and white parts are painted with automotive paint and clear coat. The rest is painted with metal colours. Everything is asembled by hand. Active elemets are: wheels, rear steps, steering wheel. More photos you can see at the fowolling link: https://postimg.cc/gallery/2j5F2LP
I hope you like it! :D
