Old School Tamiya Motorcycle Rider

    Here's a guy I did 25-30 years ago for a diorama that I never finished. Totally old school stuff. No PE, no resin, no fancy Hornet heads. This is all Tamiya and Squadron Green Stuff, except for the Historex drummer hands, which were a tip from Shep Paine. He is painted in a Polly S (are they even still around?) basecoat and oils. I found him a few years ago in a scrap box and touched up his boo-boos in acrylics.

    I've got to figure out this sideways problem with my pics.

    Like it. Nothing like old school.

    Like this a lot - reminds me of that scene from Band of Brothers where Easy Company have just returned from Normandy, & a group of them ride on a motorcycle combination to their new billet in the old cowshed.

    Great figure, Chaz - the impression of speed & movement comes across very well.

    Thanks guys for the kind comments. I'm not sure anyone else has ever seen this figure, certainly not for many years. I figured the folks here would appreciate the way a figure was done decades ago. Thanks again!
