Dont mind the excess green stuff, undrilled barrels, or mold lines. They have been removed for priming.
Need a mobile mek to repair my dread mob.

Dat's roight an' propa Orky, dat is. XD
In all seriousness, it's an excellent conversion. I love the extra armor on the front and sides, and the jump pack afterburners are a great touch. Can't wait to see it with some paint.
EDIT: Did you replace the back wheel with a track unit? If so, that's awesome.

The back is a track, its actually one of the gorkamorka bikes. I have a bunch I have been meaning to modernize to add to my bikes. I just dident have a mek on a bike yet so started with him. He has the repair claws, and a force field generator on the back.

Looks great! I think you're too hard on yourself about your painting abilities.

Love it! I love the little mech arms and the gunz over the head! 
Agree your too hard on your painting skills. But here's a couple things I would do to take it to the next level without needing maaaaaad skills.
Get a sponge (womens make-up sponges are cheap and perfect), dry dab some black onto areas of paint that you'd like to look chipped or worn. then dry dab silver on top of those areas.
The black adds some shadow and the silver shows the metal underneath. Its quick and very effective. Sure under a microscope its nothing fantastic, but from a gaming point of view it looks great.
After that I would do the base with a bit of cork, some stones. A base will also really help your model stand out.

I thoroughly enjoy this model and think the paint job is great. I think Solar hit the nail on the head with the suggestion of weathering with a sponge. A little bit of chipping on the white area will do wonders to bring it all together!
Nice job man!

Get to highlighting it and then chip up the paint. Not beat up enough yet! Otherwise incredible job.
