Different and special! Attitude of this bloke is apparent. Liked the denim and leather jacket.

Best,

Benny
 
Nice painting on the figure, Tamiya have definitely upped their game with figures, this one looks 3d scanned and printed.
Bike looks great also.
Cheers

Hi Neil

Great to see you posting and something different

I first looked and thought it was actual clothing he was wearing !.....love the leather and jeans effect ...nice fleshwork as well

The bike looks spot on

Why not enter something into our monthly comp Figure of the Month ( FOTM )

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime

WOW!...that is brilliant!

The jeans and jacket are probably the best I have ever seen painted of this clothing, not to mention the rest of him, and the bike.

Outstanding work.

Cheer's,
Jeff.
 
Now that is really something special! Amazing paintwork on a cool figure. I love every element, but what really blows me away is the leather jacket. It's unbelievably realistic! Please share some info on how you did it (i.e. type of paint, colors used, and how you achieved that perfect satin finish). And to top it off, the motorcycle is superb!! My highest compliments to you.

Dang!
So cool seeing you back in action mate.
Really nice work, especially those jeans as others mentioned.
Shame Nationals never happened would have been neat to see your stuff in flesh.
Maybe another time.
Trust family all well.

Thanks for the kind comments Jason .I achieved the leatherlook by undercoating with various greys with airbrush and stronger shadows with a brush ,then used oils with a little amount of liquid added and then removed most of it with a sponge then a brush and let the oil dry naturally . Hope this helps
