Thanks so much guys. Tamer, that front-page mention the other day rocked. Thanks for the honor.
You all are big inspirations for me. Your kindness means a lot!!
Hangarbay94, Phatty, Luke Sprywalker, ... I've learned so much from your work. Thanks for your kind words. Your youtube weathering tutorial is really good, Hangarbay94. It's great, and it's actually one of the better painting instructional videos out there.
I did a bunch more paint work on the Freeco bike. It's coming along OK, but it seems this plastic is a little different than the more paint-friendly plastic used on other SW toys. Some spots just won't hold paint for some reason. The frosted cockpit didn't leave me much deco options, but I think it's going to come out pretty fun. I'll take pictures this weekend at some point.
I'm also starting another speeder. I'll show and tell when there's something new to show.
That speeder conversion looks great!
I like the fuel tank/exhaust swap-out, and the weathering really sets off your work. The bright colors on the outside work really well. Also, the coordinating Astromech is an asbolute riot! The control panle could use a bit of cleaning up in terms of your paint application, but that's a minor nit.
Wonderful stuff.
Thanks so much. Yeah, it's my 1st small-scale control panel, and I have a better method to make them look a little better. Some of the things I wanted to add just didn't work, like these great little screen displays I made, when I installed them, they just "blended" into the black, so I re-made them 3 or 4 times with no luck.
I also have incredibly shaky hands that forces me to do details a little different than most people.
