Old School Tamiya Motorcycle Rider

[Chazman]

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.

Hi Chazzman

A blast from the past indeed ...certainly has a sense of movement with th wheel up

As for pics I am seeing full size up the right way in the thread

Thanks for sharing

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!
