WIP Miniature bike and bust Wout van Aert

[marco14]

Hi,

Yes, this is going to be something very very different then the figures/busts we make

This is a miniature bike scale 1/12 from the rider Wout van Aert in the "Tour De France 2022" where he get
the green jersey. There will be also follow a bust from him ,but they are working on it for the moment,that one is gonna be 200mm.

But first the bike,here you can see a few pictures from the bike im working on ,it got 40 pieces and are very small,so my son is helping me where I can't see it

These are pics from the miniature bike,I will show then also the rider and his original bike, the kit is very nice,but very fragile,decals are included also and a manual to assemble it



Original bike from Wout,green and some pictures from the rider ,I know him already for 8/10 years.

Yes 40 pieces LOL ,but it's absolute with a lot of fun I gonna make this, I see this bike by coincidence on the internet and I say,
I must have this,no matter how so here we are

The bust is going to be not in the green jersey,it's the new jersey for 2024,gonna show it in pics friend

Yes, he is a very friendly man (rider) got a lot of jerseys from him,gonna show also a pic from the green one who is here with me att the desk

The digital 3D sculpting is almost done and it looks amazing(for me )

Thanks for the kind words friend

I am a very keen mountain biker and have always wanted a model bike to build Will check out their website.

I think they don't have miniature mountain bikes ,but I see that they also make bikes on request,
so they can make your bike that you have and ride on,if I have read everything good,not 100% sure

If you don't find the site ask me and I give the link,they have also facebook,but they don't answer there,always via
email the man his name is Sam Li

Good luck,and I f you like to know something you can ask me and I will help you OK ??
