Subject: Do you think this would make a Cool RL Ork War Bike or would it just look stupid?

some may know I myself don't paint or build miniatures instead going in for full sized props.
I have a 21 speed bike I've been working on, as something to get around on since I can no longer afford the expense of a car. I'm currently planning on getting a ghost racer 7g motor kit for it since according to the law in my state I won't need to insure or register it at that engine size.
What does that have to do with this group you may ask? well since I'm modding out the bike anyway I was thinking of making a cloroplast and pva foam shell to cover parts of the frame to try to make it look a little like an Ork WarBike... Well maybe more of a Scuffle Scooter, something a Gretchen with delusions of grandeur might ride
Looking at some of my past works

Do you think I should try to turn this
into simpler version of this
or would that just look too goofy.
Im planning on a basic shell for the frame and some stylized saddle bags, and a ginning orky skull plate over the fork

Would it make you happy?
If "yes", do it.

Yes... yes it would... though I doubt I'll be mounting any guns, or missile racks on it like I really want to.

I know it varies on a country to country basis, but I would imagine cycling around with anything that looks like a weapon would be a Bad Idea.
Teef though, you could certainly fit teef.

Why not? What's stopping you?
Oh right, the cops...

Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard. |

Painting Within the Lines

I just had the image of a gang of warbikerz peeling out down a highway, their massive engines roaring in a way that would make a Harley envious, trailing oily black smoke as they go, and then followed by a gretchin riding a little bicycle that he's slapped gubbinz on to make it slightly more orky. He rings the bell on his handlebars to echo the engine roars.

nahhh he'd have bloodbowl trading cards in the spokes to give it that motor sound,
speaking of gubbins I just got a ton of flashy high quality racing parts for 18 bucks at auction today

There was a project blog over in that section for a 1:1 Ork Warbike a bit ago. Might want to take a look for inspiration.

The enemies of Mankind may employ dark sciences or alien weapons beyond Humanity's ken, but such deviance comes to naught in the face of honest human intolerance back by a sufficient number of guns. |
