I had planned to do this ever since seeing this touhou post over at Dannychoo.com and I ordered 2 figma bicycle sets to play around. Still figuring out what design should I do with the other one. First time fully painting a model kit. It was fun and a little frustrating at times since I didn’t use any spray cans but my brother’s Warhammer paints and brushes.

This was the first rough sketch. Photoshop brush tool ^^!

Download the template for the wheels here!

Got an comment on my flickr picture on the header pic.
Why are the Japanese so pervy about girls in uniform. Especially the ones showing their knickers……

^_^

Too bad Nendo Mirai will probably never be able to ride the bicycle ^^

    Like what you did to the bike especially the wheels . How long did you make this ??

      Started painting at 2pm ended at 6pm.

      Of course I had numerous pee brakes, twitter distractions, tea break, photo taking and long trial and error on the size of the back wheel since the measured dimensiona and printed dimensions were totally off.

    It is good you have all the resources to get it done. It would take a steady hands to do the painting. Is the design on both side or just one?

      I have pretty shaky hands actually, but tea helps.

      Header pic right , last 3 pics left.

    and Warhammer paints are the best, I also use my own brother’s paints for random jobs.
