Space Marine Jetbike Conversion

[insaniak]

I've been looking at alternatives for making cheap and relatively easy Space Marine Jetbikes. After a bit of tinkering, this is what I came up with.

Built from a regular Marine bike, a jump pack, and a little plasticard.

 

It's not perfect... there's a few places it could be prettied up, or have a little detail added. But it's reasonably quick and easy, and doesn't require a bunch of expensive bits.

 

To see how it's done, have a look in the Under The Couch tutorials section here.

Hey, that is pretty good! I think I would change the front vents to so the slopes were on the outside.

Thats about the most simple jetbike conversion I've seen yet. Looks pretty good and is a nice base to do further ornamentation.

I like. I may actually make on of these, just for show but still. I like, might make a chaos version for Dornian Blood Angels or maybe Dornian Night Lords?..maybe

(I say I will do lots of things :huh: )

That's doable, but requires a little more plasticard, as the shorter side of the vents is half missing due to the way it joins onto the backpack. I did them the way I did as it was a little easier.

also if you can find some bits then you can model something like the bottom of of a dark eldar craft actually you could just use card o make the box then use green stuff.

I've kept my word and I'm mostly done making the jetbike. It really is simple and easy!

Thank you for posting this to here insaniak

thank you very much insaniak for this great tutorial ;)

 

took it as inspiration to build a chaos jetbike for my night lords ;)

I like it except for the front end. But, as a basis for further modification, it works well.

 

Good write up on it as well so thanks!

Quite like it yeah.
