http://3mpecee2.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/how-to-create-a-painboy-from-scratch/

This was my first attempt at trying to build something from scratch.
I had only been in the hobby for 3 to 4 months. what do you folks think.

Your extra-cuddly scratch-built painboy, eh?
Kinda hard to see what's what in that pic. The head looks kind of big and the legs don't look like they're ork legs. What did you use for the syringe? I might need to convert one of these soon.

Bit unsure, the head either came from a stormboy or nob kit,could have been a loota head. the legs are out of the Battke force it was a spare shoota i had lying about.

the syringe, well the arm and the leaver came from a warbiker kit which i chopped of the main handle bar. The blue tube of the syringe, ealy can't remember where i got that, it was just a cylidrical piece of plasctic that was in my bit tin. The Needle was from an eldar falcon piece which my wife wasn't using.

That is quite an inventive conversion. I like that freehand cross on the gut plate thingy.

thanks, although i can't take credit for the crodd, my wife did the that. she is a much better painter than I. I might post some of her stuff if she gives me permission. She is quite shy about that sort of thing.
