Stunning. What did you make the wheels out of?

I'm actually not sure what the tire is from. The material it's made from is rubber, and it belongs as the tread on some device. The rest of the wheel is a wooden dowel of some sort. I don't know much about it since it arrived primed, and I did not assemble it. |

Looks great! Love the wheels, they look like they are off a back massager.

@Frawg & @Reaper Man 2020 -
I can shed some light on the conversions (as I put them together and asked Johnnyhorse to spread his magic all over 'em).
There are a set of three of these bikers all told - 2 sent to Johnnyhorse for magicification, and one at home for me to ruin myself :).
They started as Nob heads & torsos, blackreach deffkoptas (converted because I hate flyers and they're cheap) and (Reaper Man got it right) a weird old massager thingy from goodwill. Highly recommend those massager things - 99 cents got me 40 wheels, some great uber-pins of metal rods and misc other wooden bits to work with. Great deal.
Anyways, The powerclaws were also custom, using bread-bag tabs & patience. The guns on the side are almost all generic shootas, though I think I mixed in a burna backpack in there for some interesting shapes.
The blades of the koptas were butchered mostly into bits for covering various greenstuff sins across the three models, but in the end were largely unused. Hope that helps! |

The tires were originally black. The bike is still a work in progress, so I haven't painted the wheels yet. I'll be done soon! |
