Everythung looks sooo awsome. I especially like the flyrant and the jetbike. What will you count it as by the way? If you explained it earlier, I'm really sorry but I don't have the time or patience to read through 10 pages.

I've been planning to eventually, but so far haven't had the time or the cash to get it set up.

I hope so, but that's up to the buyer.

I'm honestly not sure what the buyer is planning to count the jetbike as. He asked me to build it, so I did... but I'm assuming it will just count as a regular bike in game.

I'm not doing the retinue... just the bases, so that they match.

**insaniak**

I hadn't been quite happy with the insides of the bike's wings... they were just too plain.

So, I scribed in some panel lines, and added some hydraulics. I'm also looking at options to magnetise the wings for safer transport.

Meanwhile, a little more putty work on the legs:

Started on the backpack:

And added a blade to his weapon and a magnet to his shoulder:

So as of right now, he's looking something like this:

**Flachzange**

Looking great! The added detail to the inside of the wing came out fantastic. Litle things like that really make a huge difference

**Empchild**

wow awsome stuff looking forward to seeing more of it.

**Leone**

awesome work m8

**He Who Stood**

cool

**PsychosisPC**

That's a cool ride. I like the detail and the boltguns on the underside. And you fixed the captains head. I am partial to the sergeants head though.

**tekk_45**

Wow! this is coming along so nicely. Keep up the awesome work on those minis!

If you check out his site; He normally typically doesn't paint minis, only his own/familys'. For his consignment stuff he only does the converting/modeling.

**WarhammerTabletop**

Truly amazing

**insaniak**

Started on a shield for the jeybiker:

Added a power unit to his polearm:

And started on the cape:

**Tzarinchilla**

that is one truly inspired Jetbike you have put together. Nice work on the greenstuff as well, I hate the stuff as it never does what I want it to do, but that cape looks awesome!

**tinfoil**

The jetbike is shaping up jet-sweet.

And your inquisitor really is exquisitely crafted.

**xenite**

Insaniak... great stuff. I am loving your conversions.

I am glad that Malfred is seeing this. He is always giving me gak for bouncing around with my sculpting projects (I will paint something someday... I promise)!

**insaniak**

The Jetbiker is just about finished. Just waiting for a base to arrive in the mail...

**Disjointed Entity**

Awesome work. How many hours would you say it took in total?

**jamunition**

'Internet high-five'

**Savnock**

Brilliant. I love the pistons and trim-feather-thingies on the wings in particular.

**kukuchik**

inspirational! i thought the heavy scouts were awesome, this jet bike just raises the bar. great stuff!

**PsychosisPC**

Its love of the hobby, is what I would say, the hours are meaningless.

Good looking biker. Well done.

**insaniak**

Disjointed Entity wrote:How many hours would you say it took in total?

Actually, I have no idea. Certainly more than I quoted for... Tracking the actual time taken on each job is a problem with commission work that I've been trying to find an easy solution for, since I tend to underestimate just how long a lot of jobs are going to take. Trying to keep a log has been an epic fail, since I forget to update it

Meanwhile, Jetbike has a base:

Also ripped off the shield and reattached it with magnets so it can be removed if necessary.

**Empchild**

Looks amazing man just amazing.

**gretar**

WoW .. i wish i could be you'r customer *sad face that's begging for a free comission..*

**starbomber109**

Dude, your works in this thread are AWESOME. That's a neat captain on a jetbike!

**tekk_45**

Top notch! There arent many positive descriptive words that haven't already been said, but all of you work is definitely high quality stuff.

**insaniak**

Glued magnets into the bottoms of 4 rippers:

Work progressing on 7 discs to fit into the circle on the Flyrant's base:

Drilled holes for magnets in the base:

...which once filled in, look like this:

...which lets you do this:

...with the rippers serving as removable wound counters.

The swappable discs at the front will have these guys:

...and a couple more friends, with the idea being that the appropriate casualty can be slotted in for whichever army is currently being fought.

**Empchild**

Did you come up with that or was it the client? either or it's a great idea.

**insaniak**

The removable casualties were something the client requested. The actual execution (excuse the pun) was mine.

**kukuchik**

that wound counting system is genius! and well done. your modelling skills continue to astound!

**insaniak**

A little more work on the casualty markers:

And my personal favourite:

Still a little filling and detail work to go. Well, and the Tau guy needs arms.
