JSA Bikers

These are a few of the JSA bikers I painted last week. They're actually done now but at the time of these photos, I was only 85% done.
Lo Pan and I went over them in person. The yellow on the control panel is extremely messy and just doesn't work. We decided that a re-do was in order. I'll go over them this weekend and fix that part.


I had one of those moments while painting them. I don't know if anybody else gets them, but I was painting them and I just was like...this is taking too long. Frickin' CB and their overly detailed models!!! When I got to doing the body suit, I simply painted them is successive coats of wash. I just really did not feel like trying to get the fading and highlighting right on those. I normally don't do lots of washing, because I don't like the uneven look it provides. It's also makes things look a little dull and splotchy. This time was just a fuck-it moment.

  2. Very nice bikes! Really like the white you're going with.

    As for getting "detail fatigue", I know exactly what you mean. I love CB's models but they can be exhausting to paint - especially as I tend to want to do my best when painting them! :D

  3. I love them! The scheme is really good, less toy like than the usual reds.
