Seriously I think I have... Got it from zinge... But I think specialy the mac 10 is a gun you could scratchbuild most easily...from sprue even... Hmmm if you pm me your add I could rummage in my buzz box for frailer guns...

PM sent... And darn you, after checking out some asian biker chicks it is decided...

Black leather, Asian looks... She'll be awesome. It unfortunately does mean the bike will not have racing sponsors and such, just some fancy racing stripes/visuals

You should add a green strand of hair or blue to that braid... These tokio ridge chicks just cant decide on one color

She so needs one of zinges SMG pistols or the Machine pistol, either of those would work and rock

Braid orange to tie in the bike theme and totally black leather

Subtle markings/vinyls...





Now to wait till the decals dry and then a couple more layers of gloss, a polish, and then its on to weathering and chipping. Not too much though, i like the idea of a well maintained bike, even though the world is run by zombie gangers...

What ya guys think? Enough vinyls, too much, too little?

Looks perfect in my humble opinion
Are those orky decals converted? Tho I am not too fond of these imp decals in that context .tau or eldar would have been the better choice. If you need some I have plenty of both

I like the shiny look shouts care and attention in an Apocalyptic world, although I am also a little lost as to the Imperial Emblems ?

Looking forward to the riders paint job, how you going to achieve the leather finish ?

Gloss paint, satin varnish or Gloss varnish ? or some way unknown to mortals ?

The imperial markings are sort of like brand markings, indicating that the bike is imperial built. I kept them small so they don't draw too much attention but still break up the red. Maybe tau might have looked better, but the bike is human built after all...
Besides, they are really hardly visible with the naked eye.

As for the rider... well, still not decided on a color scheme. It'll probably be a dark color, maybe indeed black leather. Vallejo black and gloss varnish should work.

The ork decal has been converted indeed, if converting is the correct name. I cut a set of teeth in half, and took one half on each side of the bike. I'm thinking maybe a Scorpion green pinstripe around it, but not sure yet.

That's what I've meant, the green could look quite dashing...
I asked about the aquilla to know how your own game/fluff world is to be associated to mainstream 40k world..
I was always assuming you had come up with a universe of your own device and you use just the buzz for helping achieving your vision...but I guess I am projectingy own views here

I do indeed use the buzz, and mostly my own vision, but the core rules I use are necromunda, but altered lots. In honour of the basic set that started me, i still adhere a bit to Imperial fluff...

Ah I see... Honoring what brought one to this game is of course a valid motive!

Oooh! nice shiny and red!

Biker progress:








Not sure yet if i'm going for black leather, or latex/rubber mistress outfit. She'll be armed with a desert eagle courtesy of Vik von Doom...
No way near done, and not really the best pictures due to the glare of the gloss bike coat...

That is so bad ass looks perfect mate exactly as I imagined really coming together nicely

Whoa...she looks sexy in that brutal vicious way where you expect whips and thorns...very cool tokio style!

Sorry not been here before, most excellent.

She looks so mean!

PMS probably Shaso...

*wipes monitor* LOL...

I love the base your using...

You should Galorn, you made it

No updates yet people, waiting on some nice guns by Vik von Doom for the bad ass... Will update as soon as there is progress...

Cross fingers for quick arrival...

Some more progress... Almost done with her, the base needs finishing, and the face needs a lot more work. I still need to drill the barrel, and paint and attach her indiana jones whip. Gun is courtesy of Vik Von Doom, the most excellent base is Rivitzone, by Galorn. Many thanx again for both, they suit her perfectly! I decided finally NOT to do black hair, as the entire model became much too dark that way, and grimdark is something I try to avoid in my models, wether they are GW or not...
I'll leave these pics here, check out my gallery for more...

She's done!
And if i say so myself, she's pretty bad-ass...









I'm pretty happy with how she turned out. What do you guys think? Anything you'd like to see up closer?
Feel free to comment, as I still have about 24 hours or so to work on her if needed. Or... not, i think i'll just keep fiddling if i go there...

Anyway, comments and criticism is most welcomed people... don't be shy, don't be gentle...

Absolutely stunning mate, really awesome.

By far the "RED-ist" thing I have seen.

Working on the gun emplacement now the bad ass comp is over. I believe I have a few more days, and a lot of work still to do...































There's more pictures in my gallery, in the Contests folder.
Let me know what you think guys,...

Looks absolutely brilliant.

One got 2 things I can say anything about. It's awfully clean rubbish, and the sheets of paper could do with being scrunched up a little. I suspect you are going to rectify these before I said anything. It is a brilliant piece of scenery and such brilliant use of materials.

Other than that what cam already mentioned I can't think of anything to add about the gun emplacement. As for your biker chick...she is awesomeness incarnate...one of the meanest looking models I have ever seen...

Thanx guys.

@ Camkierhi: Everything will most definately be smudged and filthied... There's no such thing as clean trash. Thanks for noticing it though. There will be more papers, and they will be folded, crunched etc... These are all mostly flat as they are on the floor and will be obscured mostly by even more rubbish...

@ Vik: You humble me good sir, thank you. But honestly, if you guys hadn't helped out with ideas and advice, and if you personally had not supplied her whip and gun, she would have been a lot less cool... Now go bribe ruglud and Panda so I can win some bragging rights
