Modified Space Marine bike

Space Wolves clearly have a biker-kind of look to them, even if it is because they share influences, rather than one directly influencing the other. Long hairs, big beards and general over-the-top masculinity is very typical to both looks. That's why I decided to go for the custom bike look when I started modifying the first of my army's bikers.

 I lengthened the fork with pieces of 1.5 mm wire, while cutting out most of the front and bottom plates. I also sculpted extra pieces to the exhausts so they wouldn't look like they end so abruptly. Future plans include sculpting drum magazines for the bolters for the same reason.

 Another thing to modify was the handlebar. Instead of the standard straight model, I used pieces of wire to set the bar higher and slightly wider. I also cut off part of the seat to accomodate the rider sitting further back. Of course, this requires some modifications to the rider as well, but that's getting ahead of things.

This one will just be the pack leader's bike -- I doubt I'll go through all this with the whole pack. Then again, it's not like they need to be ready by some specific date, so you never know.
