Hmmm, that's strange. Photobucket seems to have limited my image sizes to 320x240 max.

How nice...

Looks pretty cool. My favourite picture in your entire blog has to be the mad doc- I saved his picture to my hard drive for future copying

no, I think the trike has a special handlebar designed to be gently clutched by his Klaw - I have the same issue for my planned biker boss, it's awkward unless he has 3 arms

I really dig the box of bullets that feed to the guns.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

As Clang said, he has a special PK handlebar. This was my one major sticking point with this conversion and, honestly, I'm still not nuts about it. The problem was that there just wasn't enough clearance between his arm and the handlebars to allow a nicely-posed, larger PK.

It's an issue with how GW modeled the biker handlebars and the only remedy would have been to remove the front yoke, add some plasticard spacers, and then re-attach it. Unfortunately, that would make a weak point in the model which could lead to it breaking if the client were to drop it or bump it forcefully.

Actually, that's my favorite part as well (that and the WazzaBoss icon). It was actually really easy to assemble, took all of 5 mins.

What if the PK had an attachment underneath (like on the wrist?) that allowed it to guide the handlebars?

That way you can have a bigger PK.
