Kenner 1/6 Speeder Bike and Scout weathering

So I got this off someone on craiglist pretty cheap and in the box...thought I would weather them up a bit...I actually am pretty pleased with the peice as a whole, Kenner did a nice job on this..I just had to help it along a bit.. let me know what you think.

Damn! I love it! Great job on the weathering.

Thanks..im pleased

Really nice! The original looked good but the monotone made it look very plasticy. The boot dirt is a very nice touch. Did you use any metallic bronze anywhere?

nice mate.. Dont look like it was made by kenner

No bronze...i had a silver metallic base that I used with a midnight black and a few greys for some areas...the kick stand and foot pedals were painted with dirt colors as well as his boots. Also coasted all metal looking parts with metallic paints..there are alot of subtle additions that you might not see in the pics

great job! looks awesome!

Yes, Kenner made some very nice accessory items. Add some detailed finishing paint and the items can look quite realistic. This is exactly why I wish Sideshow would stop their polystone addiction and produce their accessory sets in good old ABS plastic. They would weigh less, be easier to ship, less worry about breakage, and can be sold for a whole lot less as well.

Great job on this nice speederbike. Looks really great! I have it and I like it, though I'd like it weathered as well, too bad I'm not skilled to such things alas...
