I finished painting my first model since Ava was born. It took awhile, but I am happy with the result.
I call him "Big Toof", a very large and tough Ork with a kustom warbike with his red teeth icon pole. He is almost nob-size, but too much of a loner to lead a mob. He joins a warband when he is looking for a fight and leaves when he's got all the loot he can carry. Right now, he is part of Filgakk's Evil Sunz army invading Xhorik Prime.

I love the way this model turned out. He has so much personality, he could be an RPG character. |
|
He is ready to crack skulls with that big pipe and lug nuts. |
|
Instead of just edge highlighting, I tried to experiment a bit more with highlighting the upper surfaces and shading the lower areas like the light source is above him. |
|
I dig the over-sized front tire. It gives the bike a laid-back, cruising look. |
|
Lots of exhausts! I have no idea why a bike would need four, but an ork probably figures "If one is good, four is better!" |
|
I love that he is carrying all his gear with him, including his shoota, so he can join any warband and leave when he feels like it. He strikes me as a loner. |

The shocks are the springs from two mechanical pencils. The handlebars are a papreclip that I spent a long time shaping (and it still looks crooked)! |
He looks dead killy! Nice work Philip!
ReplyDeleteGreat model. You're right, this dude could have his own short story/graphic novel. He'll be fun to see on the gaming table!
ReplyDeleteAnother great conversion, full of unique and clever bits. The shocks are a stroke of genius. I'd like to see how he shapes up to other bikers.
