If so, you'll either need to file the top of your legs flat for the torso to sit on them or get a ball burr or large drill and hollow out the base of the torso.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551236/6034724.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551236/6034724.page GMT Space marine biker torsos on regular legs

Unless they've been modified since they first came out, this set has torsos with flat bottoms. That means you need legs with flat tops.

This. Depending on the age, and if they re-sculpted them, you might have problems. I'm currently assembling some bikers, and was fishing in my bits box and found some of the old biker parts, both the torso and legs. They were flat. I never had the white scars bits, just the normal SM parts (plasma/melta/sarge) so can't speak for them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551236/6034876.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551236/6034876.page GMT Re:Space marine biker torsos on regular legs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551236/6035224.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551236/6035224.page GMT Re:Space marine biker torsos on regular legs
1. The torso was a flat bottomed one, so I had to use my dremel to bore out a cavity in the bottom of the torso. (Alternatively as mentioned before, I could have also flattened "ball joint" at the waist on the leg part.)

2. It seems that the proportions are a bit different from the more modern space marine models (this part coming from an older model). Mostly I noticed that the torso is a tiny bit smaller and the arms are thinner. Despite this scale differences I think the model would still fit in well as an assault marine sergeant or a death company marine.

Here's a pic of what it ended up looking like. It only has one arm since I have magnetized the model.

What do you gentleman/ladies think?
