I've been looking at following the conversion guide listed here ( http://blog.spikeybits.com/2012/11/cheap-n-easy-marine-jet-bike-conversions.html ) for a Space Marine Biker -> Hover Bike. However, thanks to GW squelching bitz sales and not putting forth their own solution, mass Storm Raven vents don't seem to be a viable option. I checked eBay sales just in case and there doesn't seem to be any options from there either.

Do any of the more experienced modelers out there know of good alternatives to this? Part of the allure for this project for me was its ease and yet still looking effective. I'd like to keep that if possible.

Thanks.

here you go for inspiration, pick your Fav.

Doing something like this, i think it would be the easiest.
