Hi Steve

Good to see pics of where you place shadows

Good to see the logo ......what does the lettering stand for ?

Look forward to more from your bench

it stands for Black Rebels Motorcycle Club, from the bikers in the wild ones film. doesn't really tie in with TinTin, so was thinking of sanding it away, but then I like the look of it, so may paint it out in a yellow tone to go better with the brown jacket. or sand down the text and leave the skull in place, will have to decide soon though, what do you reckon?

Ah got ya ! ......guess who hasn't seen the film !

As for the back ......what about removing letters and paint the dog sat on top of the skull ? ......or remove skull and lettering and do the dog on its own ?

Look forward to seeing what you go for

Happy benchtine

thats a good idea

so, removed the moulded on badge and wording and after seeing Naps post, have gone with snowey on his jacket, needs some of the black outline thinning down a bit, but still very chuffed with it.

Bike has been airbrushed and the paint polished a bit with a 4000 polishing stick, next will be to paint the actual engine and the tyres;

started detail painting of the bike. have a few cast metal leads to attach, the fun bit is going to be attaching the rear supports to the bike and at the same time fixing the rear hub in place. same with the front forks, which as well as attaching the wheel to the mudguard, will then have to attach that sub assembly to the bike and line up TinTin's Hands

Hi Steve

The bike is coming along and looks accurate ( I know even less about bikes ...lol )

Look forward to more from the garage

Got more parts of the bike glued together, bit tricky with so many touch points but all done. Also got the 'young mans' boots painted;

That is quite amazing, and zero emissions to boot

so tried a dry run with the 3 bits tonight and blown away at the design of the kit as they all join up nicely. only slight issue is I had two 'left' seat supports, so had to make one into a right side support but with the figure seated you will never know.

nothing sticking out of his back, its just a rod on one of my handles

 

[Peter Day]

Looks terrific Steve.
