Ghost Rider Spirits of Vengeance 1:18 scale

JinSaotome · 09-13-2011, 02:41 PM

After seeing the trailer for the new Ghost Rider 2, Spirit of Vengeance movie I looked around for a bike like his. You know how hard it is to find a 1:12 motorcycle? So I decided to go with 1:18 and make a Marvel Universe Ghost Rider from the new movie! He's made from a MU Ghost Rider head/hands, Snake Eyes body, Cobra Commander legs, Crimson Guard feet, and I think a Terminator guy's jacket. The bike is a modified 1:18 MaiSto with added flames and sculpt. I love how the treads in the wheels came out, looking like they're burning from the inside. Ghost Rider had sculpt added to him in various areas then burned with a braising torch, smoothed down, sanded, and broiled again for the charred appearance. The movie character GR looks the same way as if he was set on fire all melty and bubbly. Now Ghost Rider is ready to take on the baddies with the power of hellfire!

Holly hell!!! That is sick! Great work

Another outstanding job. I really like the black skull design for this Ghostrider.

That looks so cool. I can imagine if you had some small spot lights , aimed at the the yellow areas , it could really make the fire glow. The chain painting must have been a tedious process.

What did you use for the chain? I really like the flames on the bike, not so much on the head just looks kinda off, but nice work as usual.

I think all the distressing really sets this one apart. Great job Jin. You need to keep up the 4 inch customs.

You're still the king!

Thanks for all the comments! The chain wasn't that hard to paint, it was finding a chain that was already primered with a finish that the paint would stick to. That was the hard part. The paint kept flaking off all the other chains I used. But after I found one that had something on it I was able to paint the outside orange and the inside yellow, took a little while.
