Attacking with Bikes



This miniature taught me a valuable conversion lesson.  No matter how seemingly trivial the change, always double check your results.  I decided to make the bike a Raven Wing machine by adding two wings to the sides of the main bike armour. Super simple and adds a nice visual detail. I did not, however, remember about the driver. After the model was assembled and painted, I tried slotting the driver into his position and discovered that the wings block his hands from getting to the handlebars.  Fortunately this was fixable by removing the lower portion of his backpack and gently nudging him in. Lesson learned: always double check the model after changing it.

The paint job was very simple, with the standard black armour and Army Dip to keep the model consistent with the rest of the force.

Next up, Raven Wing seeks vengeance..
