Painboy on Bike Conversion

I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog of late (as you can see if you look at the date of my previous post).

However I have been spending some time building Waaargh Wazrukk.

For my next battle in the campaign my Nob Bikerz will be resurfacing with a new addition, a bike mounted Painboy.

So, a conversion was called for…

Basically I planned to cut the legs off a Painboy and stick him to the legs of a biker and use a bikerz arm in place of the buzz saw arm, allowing him to hold the handlebars of the bike.

This was a tricky conversion as the Painboy model is kinda hunched forwards and the warbikerz lean back in the saddle (I didn’t realise this until I had already started).

So a load of green stuff was needed at the front of the join between the Painboyz body and the warbikerz legs.

Now I’m no sculpter, especially in the cramped space between between the Painboyz body and the bike so I decided to hide the join… I think it has been moderately successful, I’ll see how it look when I paint the model and will try re-working it if it looks terrible.

Anyway here’s my work in progress…

In this next shot you can see that I reused the Painboy’s Cleaver to help cover up my messy join.

I’ll post updates of this conversion when I get around to painting it.
