This is the second set of pics for my Blitzer custom build. Again I'd really appreciate feedback from some long standing members, maybe some painters.
These pics are of the wheels and driver.

Tyre white has to be done for that retro look. I sanded, primered X2 with 3x paint and 3x clear Green wheels and detailed Tyres. Drivers helmet, silver met with candy blue. with a silver stripe finished driver, dirty arms and wooden wheel the inside of the shell is green, like the wheels. the outside, bare metal? like its been rubbed down

I'll say it again your painting skills are superb, great detail and the bare metal finish looks amazing, definitely something I couldnt do..

Thanks again SRB, I'll be honest I was winging it all - s'why there's no pics of the paint process - I just approached it as if it was a real vehicle, at one point the shell was green like the wheels, but under it was 3 types of 'metal' paint over a black primer. lots of rubbing down and finished off with rusty coloured airbrushing.

Excellent work. The Bell helmet is just wonderful.
