Build two Attack bikes out of one Ravenwing biker kit

Hey guys,

I have some spare time and decided to post a little tutorial for how I did my Attack bikes:

 

What do you need?

-> 1 Set of three Ravenwing Bikers

-> 2 bits of a Predator which are normally attached to the back of the top mounted weapon. There are two options on the sprue so these should be easy to get a hold of.

-> Two Rhino doors. But if you own a Predator, Vindicator or Baal Predator you will probably have some spare ones.

-> Little greenstuff. Don't be scared. Only minor skills are necessary.

-> Bit from the man-hole on top of the tanks.

-> Rhino gunner and Multimelta

 

All the other bits are part of the kit

 

Take three bits of cut sprue. The length should equal the straight edges of the Rhino door.

Glue them on.

Then immidiately glue on the spare windshield from the Ravenwing kit.

Make sure that you have a smooth transition between the sprue on the side and the windshield.

Fill the holes on the edges with green stuff.

Cut the exhaust of the bike as shown in the picture.

Cut the spare base in the middle and attach one half to the base of your bike as shown in the picture. Smoothen out the transition with green stuff.

Cut the shaft of the front tire as shown. This is an optional step. I wanted to elongate the shaft.

Cut one edge of the Landspeeder door so that it becomes symmetrical and fill the holes with green stuff.

Cut some Q-tips and use them to elongate the shaft up to the size you like. 1/3 of an inch in my case. I attached the elongations with greenstuff.

Glue the Predator bit to the back of the Rhino door

Glue on one of the two spare tires to the side of the bike, and this exhaust like looking bit.

Glue on the Landspeeder door and the eagle if you like.

Cut the foot plate as seen here. Attach it to the bike.

Cut the bit from the manhole in half and glue on half inside the wagon.

Glue on the front tire the driver and the gunner and you will end up with this.

I forgot to take a picture with the base attached.

Well. That was my tutorial. If you like it leave a comment.

I do like it! Very cool, what helmets are those? They look like the scout bikers from Star Wars...

 

My only critique would be that the front of the side-car looks like those Rhino-door-teeth might be dragging a bit...

 

These are from Pig Iron. But they are not glued on yet. I'll probably switch them for marine helmets.

As for the teeth.

The front tire is now attached in another angle, which lifts the bike higher above the ground. This is an old picture. It looks even better with the base.

It looks pretty good, though it seems a bit too expensive to end up with two attack bikes.

Expensive?!

One of these gives you two attack bikes for 32 Euro.

Two regular Attack bikes cost you 45 Euro.

 

This is a 30% discount. You save 13 Euro.

Don't forget the other bits. ;)

This is the only bit you really have to buy, but it's very likely that you can trade it with someone.

But hey... No one has to use this tutorial.
