He paint job is far from complete, but I wanted to show him off, as I am so proud!
The model is Hector Rex from FW with all of the INQ symbols shaved off (except shield and leg because you can't really see it on the leg), but am awaiting iron hands symbols from FW to have on him to finish, also I need a thunder hammer, but it is all still WIP. The shield will eventually be an iron hands symbol'd up master piece. The bike I got for a steal from Bitz Galaxy





Please be gentle with the comments, it took a lot of courage to convert a model to be sitting on a bike!

First impression...


The bike seems a bit small for my liking. Such a big man such on a small bike, but then I realised I mostly had that impression because the Photo is massive. Still, it is a bit iffy...
Other than that the connection of the shield to the arm looks a little odd. Possibly strapping it on to the back may have been a better option.
Also the bike looks a lot bland when such a awesome figure is riding it. Maybe a little sprucing up is needed.
Otherwise it is a good job.


I'd just like to say...

"Location: "'Straya... Mate."

I'd fatten up the bike too. Rider looks great though!!

To be honest, the bike doesn't look too small IRL, the photo doesn't do it justice.
And yeah, I will be sprucing up the bike a lot more the stuff from FW, mainly the etched brass and the resin IH symbols.
I totally agree with the shield strapping as well. I will fix up the picture size and get another angle.

Edit: smaller photos added to first post

The different pictures make it look a lot better. A few more angles too! The bike still looks a bit off, to me anyway.

Maybe after the sprucing up it will look more in place.

Yeah the bike needs a lot more details, I think I might but some watch parts from eBay and deck it out with cogs and stuff.

I couldn't get Flying Pooo's words out of my head, about him looking tiny on the bike, so I did some more converting and now he is on a chopper!

Still painting him up, but let me know what you think so far!

It just looks longer, not bigger. You need to raise the handlebars. Think Fatboy custom...

I'll find a picture.

Wont let me preview, hope it worked. If it did, that sort of thing would maybe add some more substance to the bike.

That isn't a bad idea I will look in to raising them up. I think he looks pretty amazing now though, and that is without all the forgeworld gibbets hanging off him yet.
