Bike looks awesome! How did you do the weathering? Dry Brush?

That swoop reminds me of the Harkonnen ships in Dune!

That swoop is too sick!  Care to share your weathering tips?

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks everyone! I too think this is a perfect vehicle for the Sw universe. I may have to get another but I do like having just one of all different types of swoops to keep them original looking.

As for the paint, I sprayed everything flat black and sealed it. Next it got a silver semi dry brush followed by dipping a frayed old brush in red and stippling on the color. Then I did the same thing with grey for those panels. Next I used a sharpie paint marker to outline the panel lines followed with 2 brown washes to tone down the black and weather it a bit. If I get time I may do a video of me painting my next small vehicle.

Sweet!  Thanks for the insight.  I used Sharpies for panel lines on Gundam models several years back and they faded over time.  Never tried them since or with 3.75" figs.  May have to give them another try.

That Mando bike looks fantastic, L.E.. If your skills were comparable with your manhood, you would be like a mythic god's horse. You know, down there.

Whatever it is, it looks pretty daggone cool if you ask me.

Awesome customs, your customs have inspired me to make some myself for my son

[botwt]

WOW, that red weathered paint job is amazing!!!

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks again friends! The question was about the previous skiff, it was made from the PR toy. This swoop is indeed a Halo Ghost vehicle. Wheeljack, thanks so much, I am glad you found some inspiration in my work. That is also how I started, making things for my son, he is now 19 and I am like a mad scientist obcessed with the next creation. Have fun!
