I've only been painting warhammer for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a year and after studying up more on it I thought I might try to make a looted vehicle for the orks so if you could just comment and make suggestions on where i could improve it would be much appreciated, Thank you

It looks good. I might be tempted, though, to add some orky things like the metal faces and decoration. Good though.

Looks pretty orky to me. I miss 2nd edition rules where ork vehicals and weapons had a high chance of killing their rider or crew. This bike looks like it might kill its orky rider. A glyph to Mork and Gork might make it safer. Also have you heard that red ones go faster ?

Thank you to both of you I have one question though, in terms of ornaments or decorations I can make, what would you guys recommend like it was mentioned earlier about metal faces, is there anything else I should consider doing in that aspect?

Rivets! It needs rivets! I think if you changed the material for each of the plates and use more overlapping plates too - it looks a bit plain. Weathering looks nice though. Great effort for first looted vehicle!

Your weathering/rust effects are nice. I also thought the head of the bike's ex-owner was a nice touch. However, I think the plates look a little same-y. Either some variation or some decoration might make it look more "stolen and repurposed" as opposed to "cobbled together."

You need some more 'orky' scrap stuck on it, it looks very plain.

Try cut up bits of plasticard? Variating from red/metal/black etc?

Good start my man!!! we all gotta dip our toes in at some point, only the other day i found my first convertion. Just wish i had dakka dakka in my life all those moons ago!!

Anyways like its been mentioned before, id add more orky gubbins, like a chain or two maybe an over sized exhaust if you could knock one up. Maybe a few spike here n there but not to many so it looks like a chaos bike. The look i guess orks go for is if a 5yr old had a blow torch and hammer lol

Looking good so far though fella, keep it up!
