I'm looking to use my extra AOBR Warboss as the foundation for my Biker Boss Scratch build. I've found a ton of fairly bad conversions on the internets and it's making me wary of actually using him.
It almost seems like he takes away from the over all aesthetic of the model. Maybe he doesn't fit right or something? Is this just bad modeling?
Does anyone have links/examples of well done AOBR based biker bosses they consider to be well done?
Even better, anyone have links to some bad assed Mek's WIP series of building a AOBR Biker boss?

Thanks all!

The AOBR Boss models is a bit stiff. Makes it look like your biker has a stick up his arse.

Here's mine:


Basically, get the big shoota off the right hand. Then saw or carefully cut the hand at the wrist and turn so that it can be matched up to a handle bar. Also, you will need to trim/remove the breechcloth.

Then slap him onto a bike. Now, a normal Warbike is not wide enough for his legs and he ends up kinda hanging off it. I spent a lot of time working on the right mix. Basically, I took a Deffkopta, carved the guy off, added some a warbike fork to it and slapped it onto the back of a wartrakk.

Hope that helps.

Oh yeah, and that is a John Deere tractor wheel on the front. Sorry the picture's so dark.

Thanks!
That's a start.
Anyone else?

I'd say with some arm and hip surgery with a bit of green stuff he would fit rather well... i have built several bikers and the aobr warboss. Hmm maybe ill chap the warboss up and see if i can't get him to fit the next bike i make.

A common conversion seems to be attatching his torso to regular biker legs, which is a disaster because he's way, way too big for the small frame of the standard bike.

As long as you up-scale the bike sufficiently, there shouldn't be a problem.
