bigmalky Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi all, I did say on my Swamp Dragons (now changed to Jungle Wraiths) post, that I would post up pics of my attack bike. Ok so Its not anywhere near finished yet, but I'll be updating as I go along. This is my first model painted in 12 years and hopefully my now older and fatter fingers are up to the quality I used to paint at lol http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu84/bigmalky79/SDC11340.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture747 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The quality looks fine and the colors work very well together. I think the scheme looks great on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Thane Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Yup, good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmalky Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks people. Unfortunately, I've had to work almost non stop this week so it's going to be tomorrow before I get any more work done on the bike. Will post more pics when I get sorted :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty1109 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Very nice crisp paint job, should look good when you've got some massed ranks lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmalky Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Finally got round to doing some more of the Wraith bike yesterday, unfortunately my daughter had stolen the charger wire for the camera for her phone til this morning, but as promised... http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu84/bigmalky79/SDC11353.jpg http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu84/bigmalky79/SDC11355.jpg I do need to touch up the bone on the rims of the bike but I think I'll wait until I've finished the base and marine before going back to finish it :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I like it, can't wait to see the marine as well! Looking great so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty1109 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Seeing it from that second angle, you could have done a better job sanding down the join on the tyres. Spoils it a bit when you've done such a nice job on the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, the paint keeps chipping off so no big deal shaving off some plastic before I finish the model :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmalky Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 I've shaved the wheel down, expect a more professional looking bike posted tomorrow :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRCHAOS Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I've shaved the wheel down, expect a more professional looking bike posted tomorrow ;) Thank you!!!! As the first time I see your bike, that mold line slapped me round the face. :) Are you going to dirty up the bike with mud and stuff or leave it nice and clean?

bigmalky Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thank you!!!! As the first time I see your bike, that mold line slapped me round the face. Are you going to dirty up the bike with mud and stuff or leave it nice and clean? I know, that was a terrible mistake for me. I've filed down all my bike squad wheels now, so they should be hell of a lot better when I'm done. Not sure about the dirty bike yet, I imagine I'll make the wheels and undercarriage a bit mucky since I'm going to add a muddy track base. I'll be posting that on here when I get round to buyin some vaseline for the green stuff :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmalky Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 New pics of the bike and also the base which has been greenstuffed ready to be sanded down, the wheel was also harder to scrape than I thought so I'm going to cake it in sand and muddy it up a bit tomorrow :P The Bike http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu84/bigmalky79/SDC11363.jpg The Base (Sorry for the slightly out of focus pic, I have very shaky hands at times) http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu84/bigmalky79/SDC11371.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messanger of Death Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Posted in your WIP for the bases but I thought I'd echo MRCHAOS point of dirtying up the bike a bit. Just some splatter on the sides a bit and dirty up the tires. Also the exhausts look a little clean. Maybe put some brown and black wash on it to give the impression of exhaust fumes collecting on the exhaust pipe. Cheers, Messanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have big plans for mucking the bike up which I'll be doing when I've got the muddy colour scheme for the base. As I said, this is the first model I've painted in 12 years so I do forget things which leads me to thank you for the exhaust tip Massanger :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty1109 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 It's coming along nicely. Have you drilled out holes for the exhausts yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
