At long last... last bike


Last of the bikes!


As I have mentioned before, the odd phenomena of getting the routine of these down pact just in time for the squad to be finished strikes again. :-)


With each bike, I was able to 'cut to the chase' more and more.  You really learn to break down each piece, no matter how small, and learn the best and most efficient way to reduce it.


Since I had never painted any sort of space marine bike at all, or hardly even seen a finished one in person, it was yet another challenge.


There have been lots of challenges over the last many months, and I have had to adapt and learn very new concepts on the fly day after day.  It has fried my brain a bit, since I managed to lose a half dozen things in the last 24 hours. 

They were all ultimately found, but it was driving me berserk!  Ask Cathy :-)

    1. As Cathy said, they are from Dragon Forge. Normally I make my own. Dragon Forge bases are by far the highest production quality that you can get.

  4. What are the bikes from? I Just picked up some used space marine bikes and the front end is significantly different (better) on these.
