Bette, the Harley, is now in the curio cabinet getting some much needed rest, HA! She's all but ready except for the dings and chips, weathering, etc. So, before I head back to the big figs, here's a few pics of Bette; Let me tell yallz, it was a royal bugger getting all the dust particles off this pig before plushing a dull coat, what a hoot. Now she goes to the curio cabinet while I work the finals on the "Ranger" fig. Then we'll bring Bette back for the works. Dang me, I wuz just chattin with the Mrs., she said, "Ya, where ya gonna put this one?" HA! "How the flock do I know that, Mum?", I sayz....................oh, to da dog house I be go, HA! Thx for watchin.......Cheers, Ski.

Okeydokey,
I think this Hog is ready, finally, for a place in the curio cabinet for now. I hit it with Euro Dirt, made up from several of Mig's pigments. His tutorials are great if you haven't seen them.
If you see something that appears odd or amiss, please sound off, I'm making a punch list for the grand finale.
Thx for watchin. Cheers, Ski.

His Youtube channel has lots of great tips, no doubt. Thx Dennis, it feels good to get back in the saddle again, so to speak. Thx Brotha Leon, I'm pulling the Ranger fig into the bunker today, minor clean-up and leggings are left to close out. Thx JPC, appreciate it buddy! Thx for the kid word Gents, Ski.

Wow, i am so impressed by this. If there is an example of figure painting I strive for, it is this.

Thx Mr. Leon, that ring was molded in, so I thought it was a great touch too.
Yo Andy, thx buddy!
Thx Gil, that's mighty kind of you to say that Amigo. This figure has been a real hoot to paint, great detail and lots of room to work the oils. It's all about the fun on these big figs, for me anyway.
Thx again Gents. Cheers, Ski.

Cemetery Wall. Small update Gents. It's been raining up here, a lot, so I a working the base concept. This layout is about as good as I'm going to be able to make it, but I recon it'll work. The element of surprise is what I'm after in this scenario. The wall will get a good work over with damage, etc., painted a dirty yellow tone and the water fountain will be inactive, but grungy and have nasty mossy water in it and lots of shrubs near the entryway to keep the Ranger hidden and the bike. And yes, climbing ivy vines, etc as well, plus tile cap on the top of the wall. Look er over and let me know what yall thing, please. I really can't go any bigger and I certainly can't go smaller on the base, so other than minor adjustments this may have to do. Thx for watchin, Ski.
