How did I miss this one, read from page 1, now caught up.
Superb and loving this one.

Thx Mark, more coming soon, I hope.

Bob, glad ya got caught up buddy. As you can imagine it felt like I bit off more than I could chew. But hey, what's life without a challenge, a challenge that you enjoy?

Thx for watching Gents. Cheers, Ski.

Looking very nice Ski, built the extension to house it yet ?
Steve

Ya killin me Helm, ya killin me. Thx Buddy!

I've already extended enough, if ya know what I mean, lol.


Cheers, Ski.

It's Harley time, Baby! Just loaded the R75 into the cabinet and the Harley is on the rack.

Cheers, Ski.

Ok, been way too tardy for way too long, but I do have an update. When I finally get this "New" Harley finished I will rap up the Ranger figure and get started on the base. That will be a hoot and I'm looking forward to making it.

I did take these pics last night, but everything and it's brother was eating into my bunker time, even today.

Here's a few pics of the saddlebags and scabbard as well as some work I did on the seat in an attempt to make the stitching. That was a pain, but it'll have to do. You may also be able to see the reworked plumbing lines in there too. Detail Masters has some really good stuff.











Touch up base tone must be done before the weathering, chipping and rusting out some bolt areas, etc., but I'm almost where I was when the first Harley met it dastardly fate on the bunker floor in pieces. Much care and attention is being take this time around, HA! Thx for watching and fire away if there's something I may have missed.


Cheers, Ski.

Looks fantastic Ski, could almost jump on and ride it
Steve

Lovely job Ski, looks like a well used bike alright
Steve

Absolutely amazing work...John

Thx John, and Steve, greatly appreciated.

Stevo, I knew I could count on your input as always and keepin a watch on this thread, you've helped out tremendously my Brother, thx Mucho!

Cheers, Ski.

As a staunch 54er I've never attempted to paint such large scale figures so I cannot comment on the techniques required.I know what I like though and I like what I see.I also have only good things to say for people who are fervent and commited and are willing to put in all the extra time and effort needed in order to achieve what they have in mind and you seem to fit right in that profile.

Oda.

Wonderful look!

It looks fantastic so far Steve (it's nice to meet you here brotha !)

Thx for the kid words Oda. I can be a little anal retentive at times and Large Scale figures seem to tickle my fancy, they keep me in line and show my boofs immediately, so it's a constant learning process. Now that's where the fun it, IMHO. Lots to learn from the Bros here, which is why this site is my ultimately preferred figure painting university.

Thx Osebor, more to follow soon.

Guy, thx buddy for the encouragement, keeps the motivation up to full steam!


Cheers, Ski.

A little more progress. Here's a pic of the brake solenoid/actuator-relay thingamajiggy, ya know, the part that tells the brake light to come on, HA!



I can't wait to get this Harley done so I can get back to "Mr. Ranger". Cheers, Ski.

We call it the brake switch here in the UK

You are most certainly correct Mr. Helm. The nomenclature escaped me at the time, as often is the case, lol.

But, then again, up chere in the titherland we kinda make'r work best wez can. I was befuddled to find the right words. Thx Amigo!

Thing bein, I'm havin too much fun this time round, but that's what it's all about. Decals comin real fast. Thx Helm!

Cheers, Ski.

Ok Gents, I promise, back to the figures right after I stow Bette in the curio cabinet for a bit of a rest before I chip, rust, and weather her. The "Ranger" figure is on the bench now, just leggings and minor touch ups left on him, then base work. Pics to follow soon.

Cheers, Ski.
