    Couldn't agree more Steve. Large scale figures expose every flaw and weakness in your painting technique for everyone to see.

    Still need to figure out the insignia on the helmets. Soon it will be time to knock out the punch list on all the figures and start basic weathering on the bikes, then that mighty base. Oh boy, what ever did I get myself into???

    Cheers, Ski.

    Howdy Yall,
    I've been busy making my first attempt at chipping on the R75 sidecar, very tedious work. I'll take my lickins and improve on the Harley, but I'm pretty sure I can tone down some of these over zealous attempts at making it look real. Needless to say, I'm not completely ecstatic about the outcome, but yall feel free to comment. Please don't pull any punches. I'm not afraid to go back and do it again or tone it down if I have to. I've redone many things in the past, I'm still learning to be patient, lol.

    At any rate, see what yall think, I'm all ears, and thx for watchin.

    Hi Ski.....very nice work mate (y)....just a suggestion...colour scheme would indicate a European theatre....as opposed to African (desert)....so I think a little rust would be in order ;)

    Cheers

    Hiya Ron,

    Most definitely gonna be a bit rusty. I have Mig's videos to follow and Mike Rinaldi's Tank Art books on the easel. I just gotta be patient and keep the steps in order. It's the fun part of doing rigs, but that chipping was getting really old fast, which is why I had to back off and take a breather, lol.

    Thx for watchin. Cheers, Ski.

    Ah, timely addition to the tool box. After I spray on a light coat of lacquer I'll be working the engine area, thx Ron.

    Just a few pics of the R75 with a bit of rusting and light weathering. I'll continue once the Harley is done and the base is built in order to blend them all together. Thx for watching Gents.

    Cheers, Ski.
