The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

All da wurky dials

Not much work today, but I did manage to hack down one of the dial sections from an Ork Trukk kit and make it fit between the two forks. I need to clean it up a little more, but I think it works. The steering wheel hole has been replaced with a turbo boosting button.

Also, please note that the rider's body is just a fantasy warboss that I stuck on the bike to get some sense of where the steering arm should be. The bionic power fist holding onto the handlebars is going to be a permanent feature of the final model, but it needs to have the 'handlebar' itself bulked up a bit - it used to be the handle on the Waaagh! Banner Nob mini GW produces, but it's a bit too thin to look like a proper handlebar given the rest of the bike's size.

 

I'm probably going to add rectangular holes on the angled-up sides of the toothy gun housing that will function double-duty as 'eyes' for the face on the front end of the bike and as a place for the dakkaguns to eject their spent shells. I tried adding headlights at one point to make eyes for the face, but it looked too odd with the eyes pointing forward but the top of the face pointing up.

I've been negotiating with Nozeminer over at The-Waaagh.com's forums for a bit of help with sculpting this biker boss. For those of you keeping track, Noze is the same fellow who gave me a hand with my Big Boss project. We've come to a decent arrangement, so the bike is currently winging its way across the United States. I'll be sure to post the updates here.
