hi all!

normally just do figures and post on HF, but someone suggested you guys might like a look so here it is...

i built the bike OOB as i'm not one for superdetailing, that said i've detailed some stowage items and given our man a new set of goggles

if your interested in progress on figure and bike heres a link to the HF WIP

thanks for looking

mark

markab,

Quite nice. Could I bother you for a few more pictures of the build?

Mike

I really like the look of this bike. Will be looking forward to seeing it weathered.
Thanks for sharing Mark.

Thanks Mike

and no bother..... i got the kit from a fellow kitmaker who is selling up ( thanks Mozam ) for a song and he'd started construction

i took it from here


and continued on.....



i almost cut the figure down to a bust but decided on the whole setup, so the figure is stalled till i finish the bike, weathering and all.....



the only alterations to the bike are

1. cut seat to fit figure as it was miles out and he floated
2. cut spring under his seat so he sits a bit lower on the bike, thought it looked more natural

the rest is out of the box as i said

Jesper!

many thanks mate

well i'm back too the BMW now after the dracula episode

finished the kit for the rear seat and the machine pistol, just some detailing on the straps to do...

FYI... the mg strap i did with "pastel" paper which is 160 gsm paper, looks very nice and the texture of the paper looks very leathery.

Looks awesome Mark.

Mark,

Mike

Hey up Mark,
This is looking better & better! I must get over to Whitby this spring or summer on my bike!
Keep going with the updates.
Mark

Jesper.... many thanks

Mike NP and cheers

Mark.. cheers mate and see you in the summer

some progress.... i added little squares of plastic with little plastic "screwheads" to the heat shield on the exhaust as it seemed a bit odd without.

building layers of dirt onto the beast now

mark

dirty................

this is nearing the end now (HOORAH!) it's 2 months since i started this

anyway started to really get stuck into messing up the smart and cleen dude

i based the area with lots of washes of graveyard earth as a base to the weathering.

covered hands and face and attacked with 2 shades of diluted chalks and then a spattered layer of tamiya weathering master followed by thick layer of the same round the boots and the hem of the coat...

overdone???

Looks awesome Mark. The splashes of mud and dirt, looks very natural.

Many thanks Jesper!

effectivly finished, some small tweakwork required but much more fiddling and i'll spoil it

Over all an amazing piece of work Mark.
Thanks for sharing.
