    75mm, Xen and Yawa, futuristic bikers from Neko Galaxy

    I've just started on these two for a simple vignette.

    I've already got into difficulty with the hoverbike. I got a half-decent finish with the airbrush, but failed to seal it with varnish. As a result, I've scraped away patches of the microns-thin layer of paint while blocking in her jeans and jacket. On reflection, I don't think the paint job was up to scratch (pun intended), so I'm now pondering how to proceed with it.

        He did indeed. Talking of Star Wars:

        What is Ani short for? Anikin Skywalker

        What is Obi short for? Obi wan Kenobi.

        What is Luke short for?

        A stormtrooper!!

        In joke there folks. If you don't get it, don't worry. You're obviously not a fan.

        If you do get it, don't worry. I've got my coat!

          Okay, I didn't miss this so have pulled a chair and will be watching. Shame on the scratches but can you add more to mimick weathering?

          Cheers,

            I've decided to do a completely different colour scheme, instead. I've recently been lusting over the Yamaha XSR900 GP, in Marlboro colours, so I'll probably base it on that.

                  I still break up when I think of him tipping over on the trike w/raincoat & rain hat.
