Hey. This is my first conversion I've ever done, I took an AoBR Deffkopta and converted it to a Warbike. I think it came out well, but I've already seen a few spots where I can do a lot better on the next one. Comments and criticisms are more than welcome.

I like it, it's got some good dakka on it
my only real problem with it is that I reckon the front spokes/forks on the bike should be shortened so the bike doesnt look so high off the ground. But that's just a preference thing I think

Yeah, the back end sticks out farther than I had wanted too. Next one will be tighter.

Looks good, impressive work.

Rico...

Nice. I wanted to know what to do with all the choppers, now I know. Thanks.

reminds me sort of the bike out of The Dark Knight... which is a good thing

If your thinking of tighten up the model i can only imagine how much better its gonna get.

What sorta colours you thinking of painting it?

Those Lego wheels look really goofy and not consistent with the Orky feel. If you can dress them up enough to make them not look quite so much like Lego wheels, you could be on to something.

They're not Lego, actually, they came from a little tractor toy set at the dollar store.

As far as colors, I'm not sure. I haven't put too much thought into it yet.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I just finished my second one, this one's better.

It looks like a very nice conversion but i don't really liked the plasticard big shooters and i think you should have just used the big shooters from the boyz set

I might try that on my next ones (I have two more to do) but I just wanted to really try it out and see how it would work.

I want to point out I've been doing all of this with a dremel tool, and each conversion takes roughly half an hour.

The next thing I want to address is that, really examining the bikes, there's really nothing propelling them; they're just wheels on forks. My next goal will be to address that.

I should also probably work on capping the wheel tubing somehow.

I actually think the Big Shootas look pretty good. I suppose it is a matter of personal taste. Will stay tuned and keep an eye out for more.
