Warbiker boss part 6

Whew.  Still catching up from vacation and Thanksgiving.  The Boss is done!

Now to finish the second Nob Biker unit...

Warbiker boss part 5

Hey I managed to squeeze in some modeling time and a post before the beginning of my Turkey day prep.

Here's the current progress:

 

I wanted a different Power Klaw, bigger and more brutal:

 

 Big Dakka guns from the tutorial:

 

I made a cast from a bike wheel for a more Speed Freeky shoulder pad:

 

A 1/35th scale oil drum:

 

 I needed a huge biker head, so I started some putty work on the stock AoBR bonce.  I was going to try for a cloth skullcap but I ended going with a tanker style cap instead.  The extra bulk of the cap compliments the big head better, and it will tie in with some of the tanks I have planned later.

 

 

Not done with the sculpting, but a good start I think!

Quick update.  Progress so far:

 

Closeup of forks:

Rear Axle closeups:

 

 

A comparison with a regular bike:

A little more progress:
Adding the new front fork mounts, and I added some rivets and gubbinz to the engine.

 

Close up of the cross mounts for the rear clip:

 

Overall.

 

More to come...

Warbiker Boss

This will actually be my second Bikerboss.  I went back and forth with the look and decided to go over the top with the build.  What that means in the end I'm not sure, but whatever it is it has to be orky as hell.

I started with a standard bike (actually I started with a deffkopta, but we'll go into that later).  Specifically the body with the track drive.  I think it lends itself to bigger conversions as it looks to me more like a drive chain and sprocket than anything.

 

I cut off the forks, only because they need to be bigger on the finished model.  Into the bitzbox they go!

 The "engine" is pretty weedy.  It must have moar power! The truck engine is too big (I'll post about that fail later)  I dug around until I found the Killa Kan hip segments.  I put two back to back and with a bit of trimming the fit.  I then added tho piston jugs with some gubbinz.  Anyone who can guess what bitz are wins a prize (not really).

 

 It was only after the glue cured did I notice they weren't lined up.  Oh well, Meks never did doublecheck anyfing...

 

 Here's the dryfit of the first two parts.  It's a good'un!

 

Here's my rough layout I'm going for.  Two big drive wheels in the rear make for moar fasta!  We'll see if I can pull it off.
