Hi All,
For my 100th post (hooray for me :D ), I'd thought I'd try something new. ?I'll try and see if I can do a blog on a new conversion: the master of ravenwing, downscalled to epic size. ?I'd just thought of this converision yesterday, so I haven't got it all planned out yet. ?In any case, here are some pics:

I'm going to use this poor biker guy, and a prow from this BFG cobra. ?Actually, I'm gonna probably cast the cobra, 'cause I'm cheap.




Side view, showing the wheels removed. ?I've also removed the head. ?I'm planning on going with a no-helmet look.



Front view showing the left shoulder pad angled back for a more drammatic pose with the sword.

Next up is to cast the prow, and attach it to the bike. ?Then to work on the back, wings, head, cape, and sword&arm. ?I'm not sure if I should leave the bolters, or put that "open-book" like structure on top of the hood. ?Also, I'm not sure how to model the eagle. ?Green stuff I guess? ?Any ideas? ?Also, I have no idea how the back of the bike is supposed to look. ?Does anyone have any pics of the 40k version?


Thanks,
CF

Great idea. Sort of completes the circle: Ravenwing jetbike used in BFG ships, BFG ship used in Epic... Just need to find some epic accessories to use on the 40k model. :D Looking forward to seeing how this progresses

hehe. Someone beat me in attempting to do this. I was planning to do a Ravenwing Commander after I  finished my blood angels and that co-insided with the release of the new Ravenwing models.

Anyway, its looking good. Can't wait to see it complete.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. ? :D ?
Hopefully, it'll stop me from procrastinating. :p

Anyway, today I casted the prow (still needs to be trimmed), and added the head to the figure. ?I'm really happy with the expression, although it will probably be difficult to paint. ?Still not sure about the bolters vs. "book" on the top, and no idea about the eagle. ?If anyone could post a few pics of the sides or rear of the 40k version, I'd really appreciate it.

BTW: ?Will take some pics showing the driver soon.

Thanks,
CF

Hi,
Brief update:
Added the head to the torso. ?Casted the prow. ?I've since trimed it to size, and will now join the prow to the bike. ?Don't worry about his arm, I'll trim it later to the right shape.


Thanks,
CF

I don't get it, one instant he looks like he's gone over to the warp in tentacle mode, the next he's Master of Ravenwing and looking the part... that's a dem fine actor you got there - good costume and make-up crew too :;):  :p  :D
Looking great - now, the Aquila?  :cool:  :cool:

Thanks V :;):

I ended up puttting greenstuff all over the prow, to give it the correct shape. ?The BFG part acted like a scafold for the putty. ?I've done the the eagle (greenstuff), book (what's with the book anyways? ?what's the fluff on it? ?Is this guy supposed to read it as he flies? ?Seems kinda dangerous), and his sword arm. ?
Next up: Sword details (hilt), possibly a beak for the eagle (it looks kinda like otterman's avatar right now :p ), and then I can start on the engines, wings, and guns.
I can't wait to do the cape!!!
Cheers,
CF

Thanks BH, DS. ?Here are some update pics:




The eagle was done freehand with green stuff. ?Note also how the prow has been trimmed at the back to give it the proper shape, and room for the engine details.

More updates soon. ?Cheers,
CF
