G-519 / Huffman Model 81 - 1/16 scale

[Manu-Military]

The smallest and lightest “vehicle” of the US Army.

Many thanks to Pat O’Day @ Battleground for accepting to make it in 3D.

 

See you,

Looks great, I assume it's a WW II bike?

That is really neat! Our company just bought a small 3D printer. I'll need to see if I can "borrow" it sometime .

Very nice! I can't wait to see it when you have it painted.

I have to admit, that's a lot of resin. Nicely done.

Didn't I see this bike in "The Longest Day" with a beautiful French peasant girl on it? She was Maquis, aka Free French Underground.

 

Semper Fi.

Hi ArtyScout.

 

read this Wikipedia on the girl on the bike  . . . . . . . . you see it's not the same bike, but maybe you were distracted. !!!!

 

She made an appearance in a French film and met producer Darryl F. Zanuck and became his lover. Zanuck had a long history of trying to turn his European mistresses into film stars – he had previously done this with Bella Darvi and Juliette Gréco, and would later do this with Genevieve Gilles.[1] Zanuck cast Demick in his epic production The Longest Day (1962) as a French resistance fighter.

Oh yeah, I was distracted, all right. Thank goodness, that the Germans were also distracted.

 

Semper Fi.
