Interesting build, looks a bit top heavy but good. I'd like to see better shots of the backpack structure from the rear showing where the arms attach so I can see how everything ties together.

 

I'd suggest angling the corners of the bike's worktable a bit, having them jutting straight out makes it look kinda plain and would be a liability in the field as they'd catch on lots of stuff. If you rounded the front corners or cut them at about a 45 degree angle it'd be a bit less jarring, I'd also suggest building a tiny lip along the end as you wouldn't want tools and parts rolling off. With a lip it'd resemble a large scale version the wheeled work carts that you see around the auto shop.

How did you build the left hand? Is it sculpted or cut from bits? Or is it from an existing mini I forgot about? ^^

 

its a standard left hand that holds a bolter, just with the fingers separated.

 

for the hammer, the lightness is intentional. its his tool rather than war-hammer.

 

(last thing he wants to do when re-rivetting his bosses prize land raider is to destroy it with a miss timed swing.) ;)

 

for the bike, its a bit like the orange truck in the pic. (just closed)

there isn't a lip as he uses magnets. (thats my story and i'm sticking to it) ;) (as its already been base-coated) :D

 

for the control arm...

i'm adding a clear screen (bit like the computer screen off minority report)

 

these earlier WIP's may show the backpack layout better, but the shots of the control arm are the only ones i have.

Hi,

I love the originality, it's definately different. Not sure the terminator legs work with the regular body, doesn't quite look right. And would he remove a backpack and repair it mid battle? And if it's not mid battle why is it on wheels? The overall effect does look very cool though so if your not too concerned about that then i say thumbs up! Very impressed with your use of all sorts of bits as well.

Not too shabby!

Would have liked to have seen the supprting struts for the gun be a little bigger, but not a major issue. Pack him carefully for transport though.

He is wearing two belts, however. Common oversight when trying to use Terminator legs and a PA chestplate.
