This is great, I love the facial details. And the motorcycles. And everything else...
Btw, I recognize Kurt Meyer in there, & another figure from a newer set hahaha. What kits did you use?

Thanks for the comments.
You are quite right I used the Dragon Kurt Myer kit. The motorcycles are Tamiya as is the crew on the bike combination.
Cheers

A nice little vignette. I have a few motorcycles I plan on using for something similar. The only thing I can see that could use some work are the seems on the figures. Particularly the seems where the arms attach to the torso. It takes a little while, but generous amounts of putty that are sanded down between applications will correct this problem. I'm sure it is too late for this build. However, you should take it into consideration for future use. BTW, I suggest using automotive putty. It applies well, doesn't shrink and can be shape with water before it dries.
