                        What is a good base color for the speeder bikes as seen in ROTJ?

                        Thanks

                        Ed

                        Well Ed, you could go with a "gravel road" for a baseSmile [:)]

                        Actually,I meant the base color of the bike itself.Smile [:)]It's difficult to discern if it is a brown color or maybe a weathered olive at times.But thank you anyway.

                        It could depend on the scene you're going to put it in. Forest, desert, etc. You might check over at Starship Modeler Reader Gallery for some examples.

                        I got good results by using a base color of euro 1 grey and airbrushing a dark grey wavy line pattern on it.
