binary Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Since I posted this in my white scars thread http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/94366980.jpg People have been clamouring for a tutorial, and now that I (finally) have the parts I thought I’d document it stage by stage Here’s what you need: http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978521.jpg 1x complete space marine bike 1x front mudguard from a marine bike 2x IG sentinel legs 1x Teleport homer 2x Ravenwing searchlight* 1x vehicle searchlight 1x Ravenwing sensor mount 1x landspeeder weapon (this tutorial will have just the multi-melta, because that’s what I field, out will work just as well with the heavy bolter) First cut off and trim the mudguards, then glue together the bike halves and attach the handlebars and footplate. http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978525.jpg Then cut off the exhaust (red areas) as this is where the rear wheels will attach. http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978534.jpg Using some plasticard, fill in the gap where the rear wheel would normally sit. Then attach the ravenwing searchlights (or whatever you’re using to represent the engine) http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978538.jpg Now trim the sentinel legs, removing the ball joint from the bottom. The cut the legs where shown. These will form the front forks so pin them to the forks as shown http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978536.jpg http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978550.jpg Then glue the trimmed mudguards to the front forks and the rear of the bike. http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978551.jpg While this is drying, we can start on the weapon mount Remove the marked areas from the teleport homer and glue the searchlight to the top http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978552.jpg http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978553.jpg Trim the ravenwing sensor and attach it to the side of your weapon, then glue this to the weapon mount. I used a plasticard piston to hold the whole thing in place while it dried http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978573.jpg Then glue the completed mount to the rear of the bike, attach the wheels et voila! http://www.pbase.com/mark_kilburn/image/95978577.jpg hope that's nice and clear! -binary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Chosen Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've been wanting to make one of these ever since I saw marine bikes. Sweet tutorial, very clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintlocklaser Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Agreed, a wonderful tutorial. I particularly like the use of the teleport homer, that might be the one piece of your conversion I just could not figure out from your first thread showing these great bikes.

Red-Dragon Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hey Nice tutorial Binary,and an even better end result. Im definatly going to make some of these for my Dragon Claws. So,as a quick question,where abouts do you cut on the sentinel legs for the front forks? I think i know but i thought id ask just incase,sorry if its obviously clear to everyone else.Also,would it work as well without the weapon? and what else can be used as an engine?? Plus,do you think i could use the same technique and parts but use the main body of a chaos bike?? Thanks From The Red Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 my god i must make one! only problem is i cant spend 30 something on sentinel legs oh well I'll find a way to make em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infensus Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Would this fly as an attack bike in a tournament? I am guessing that it may depend on the judges/organizers. I HATE the official attack bike model, and would love to spend the time making something like this to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qu1f Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Nice tutorial mate, the paintjob is nice as well. Though I am most probably going to be using these for Bikers (so minus the Multi Melta). Thanks for showing hows it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
