Librarian on a Bike


Hydroponica

Recommended Posts

You need a bike from any bike kit and a Librarian from the Starter box. Usually people use the Sgt from the DV starter box and the Librarian. You just need to cut librarian at the waist, glue to the Sgts legs and with green stuff fill any gaps.

A Ravenwing bike plus a pair of the robed legs, then the upper torso of the Dark Vengeance librarian. that's how I did mine after seeing many examples done that way across the webosphere.

 

Edit - Or seeing as I was so slow to post, what Chaplain Lucifer said

The cleaner the cut the better for fitting purposes, I cut mine with pliers and X-acto knife because I didn't hae better. Don't forget to check how you want to fit before cutting. You don't want to end up with two "belts" on the model... or even worse, no "belt"!!!

LOL!

Its slower than a dremel but I find it works good.

I think I'll cut the mini in half with the dremel, but I'll leave lots of excess, and I'll use my Exacto knife to trim it up.

 

Well, truth be told, I can be a bit cheap sometimes, so it's not a 'real' Dremel, it's a 100 piece Rotary tool kit I found on Amazon for $20 lol

This is how I did it

The bike and legs are from the DV RW Sgt along with the right arm

The torso, powerpack and left arm are from the DV Librarian.

 

The Libby was cut just above the belt and after a little trimming it was glued onto the bike/legs making sure that the position matched up with the Sgts arm.

Once the glue was dried I then merged the robes together and filled the gap between the body and the right arm with greenstuff.

 

The seals where already on the model so it was a fairly simple conversion.

 

I used a razor saw but I do have a Dremmel which I use for nearly every one of my projects at some point.

 

Hope this helps.

Mine was got together from the Battleforce & Knight box sets

 

Hood is a shoulder pad, if I do another one I'll probably get a spare dv libby off ebay for the torso apart from that I'm fairly happy with him especially his weapon coz it can be whatever power weapon you fancy including mace of redemption

Ditto on Dv Libby and DV Bike SGT.  I made initial cut with plastic plier cutter, then cut below the Libby's belt and also just below right shoulder armor  with xacto knife.   Used green stuff to attach arm to show control of bike and to fill in cut around belt.

 

Sorry no pics to upload yet.
