Ok, so I've been building onto a beakie bike, and it is quickly (literally) growing out of control. Any bigger and I'll need to keep going to make it a Wazdakka conversion! At any rate, I am likely going to scrap the guns and just use some modified Big Shoota barrels. The only other part of it I am not 100% happy with is the front. I feel like the fork needs a more solid connection to the body of the bike, so I'll probably build a brace tomorrow, but wanted to do some more WIP pics. This is my first conversion since returning to 40k, but I can already feel myself getting better with the knife and files again.

Enough yakking:

Bit of a top-down.

The business end.

Comments and criticism are very welcome. I am very much knocking the rust off with this one.

its going to be hard to make the front wheel more connected to the rest of the bike i am amaze at your at how you used a space marine bike part for the most of it am i correct?

Yeah, it's almost all made of an old space marine bike I had lying around. The second wheel cowling came off of a second bike that may get a similar treatment.

Seeing I'm the only other person posting heres something I think you should know It needs more orkiness in it. I mean look at... Where is extra gubbins else than the dakkagunz..... Oh, and the front wheel needs some decoration on it.

Fear not. I have bought a fair few Boyz boxes recently, as well as some warbiker boxes and even a new Nobz box. Gubbinz we got . I just wanted to get some feedback on the bike itself.

I'd suggest that you use two sizes of plastic rod for the front forks. Most folks forget that the larger diameter rod is the shock, while the smaller diameter one is the fork that rides in and out of the shock.

I don't think Orks believe in these "shocks" you speak of .

I do see your point, though, and thought about doing it, but I don't have enough variation in plastic rod sizez without going way too big or too small.

Since you have such a big gap at the front to fill, why not put the guns there (shortened slightly)? That would also help it look sturdier
