Some pics of my latest project, new to airbrushing and I thought I would put some things skills that I have learnt into something a little different so came up with XUBIKE.

LOL you didn't see me riding around  in the hills today? Felt 15yrs old going down the hills and about 150 yrs old going back up the hills.

Time for some colour. originally it was going to be Rally Red. But I went for a modern take of Lonoranger I call it lonoranger MK2 and of course a little more airbrushing, some diamond plate and a few rivets for good measure.

Ha ha, did your grandfather say to you,

 

 that you were the only one who kept riding up the hill,

 

 as the others get off and push. :)

 

 

Mate I loved building bikes, carts and trikes, and would like to do that again one day.

 

 

 

Your GTR-XUBIKE will have the heads turning, so you better keep those pedaling legs pedadling hard.  :clappin:  :shoot:  :driving:

The bike all assembled and test ridden. Nothing like the old skool style, with a bit of a modern take.

Looks great Dave.

Any chance you can get a pic of a nude fat old lady riding it in the rain whilst holding an umbrella?

Are you volunteering? I will see if I can get my hands on a fish eye lens and one of those reflective umbrella things so we can get the lighting just right

I guess I could do the skinny lady routine, but I feel I'm not old enough. :)

Taa Dave, that was the original idea but got taken with the orange and airbrushing so went of track a little. Should still make a nice addition to display.
