Adolescent Youth with Potential

Hi, My name is Greg. Although almost 40 and the owner of a first edition 40k Rogue Trader (Games Day 1987 - the official launch? - i was there) I never got into playing until my youngest son decided he wanted a bash at it.
I put the word out as I knew some of my old buddies played it, i was gifted with a few old and new marines, an old skool terminator (and hopefully an old skool land raider once i can pursued a mate to go into his attic lol)
Not taking things too seriously, I painted my marines pink and gave them a Hello Kitty banner (ducks to avoid objects thrown by serious gamers) - see my gallery
I'm now looking to paint a squad of bikes, but want to do a better job, so will be plowing Dakka Dakka for advice, would like to create jet bikes (googled images and custom jobs look v. nice) but lack the skills for now.
I also would like to create my own HQ, a variant on Kayvaan Shrike. Utilising Forgeworld MkIII Iron Armour, Jet Packs from Chaos Raptors and the claws from a Raptor Champion, getting the bits is a bugger tho'.
My son BTW has an Eldar army (1500 points approx) and a friend is painting them on his behalf, Alaitoc is his choice, i'll post pics once done.
