baldmanwithsnake Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Various bits of motorcycle, sidecar, rider and pig scattered over my work bench.... It is more complex and fiddly than I anticipated, ah well, it will be cool when I've finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAYELL Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Nice Start. Having done a few bikes myself, plenty of patience and painting of little bits is required on these. Nice finish on the engine and it looks like a good fit. Look forward to more pics. Cheers Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hetzer Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hiya, Nice to see it being built before I can crack on with my kit^^ a built to follow:) Used to paint GW miniatures for years (still got plenty paints left), but when started airbrushing Citadel paints proved to be very difficult to work with. Do you use any thinners for them? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) There is lots of information on the site about using citadel paints.

baldmanwithsnake Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks guys, this has stalled for a bit as I indulge my hobby butterfly and paint some 28mm French Hussars...... Used to paint GW miniatures for years (still got plenty paints left), but when started airbrushing Citadel paints proved to be very difficult to work with. Do you use any thinners for them? cheers Hetzer, I only try and spray Citadel paints though my airbrush when I am desperate, I normally use Vallejo Air, although these are very delicate as the paint rubs off really easily on handling. Citadel paints are my preferred choice however for brushwork, check the pig out lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hetzer Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 thx for reply:) after all these (citadel) paints are designed for brushwork only, so in reality should not be used with airbrush (but who cares xD) regarding the pig, will wait for final results - and will get my fork & knife ready. cheers!

justaspitcrazy! Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Lovely work mate. I can almost see Indiana Jones and his dad escaping in it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldmanwithsnake Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Cheers, it kept on trying to escape on it its own last night, kept on dropping the blessed thing when I was trying to attach the front wheel assembly to the main body. It's all attached now, just need to do a bit of touch up work and then attach the side car...... More pics tonight hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldmanwithsnake Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Bit later than promised. ....... It's a bit glossy, needs the weathering doing before the matt coat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldmanwithsnake Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks spit, I'll be glad to get it off my workbench to be honest, it seems to have taken for ever. I'm looking forward to doing the rider though, more in my comfort zone. Applying the weathering and the mud will be interesting as well, although not at all in my comfort zone. I decided to repaint the zeltbahn/canvas thingy that goes on the back of the sidecar tonight, I think it looks better now, pics to follow.....

baldmanwithsnake Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks Billy Did some more, decided to re-paint the zeltbahn/tarpaulin thingy Here is my work room as of last night started on the rider Although he's not to far from finished really. It is almost June and this project started last year, why has it taken so long..... Still, I am enjoying it and learning stuff. My Mrs will be back from work in a minute and we'll nip off into town for a couple of G&T's, I'll do a bit more tonight hopefully. Cheers all and have fun modelling 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
