Shrieker Jetbikes the Cheap way

Hello Blog readers,

had some inspiration on how to solve my Shrieker Jetbike Dilemma. I really don't like the off set Shurikan Jetbike model that GW supplies and I think it's way to expensive as well. So I scavenged some Shurikan cannons I had laying around and came up with the following model:

Shuricanon Jetbike:
As you can see it's a pretty straight forward conversion just cut up the canon till you only have the barrel. clip off the hose an replace it with some Iron wire that connects the Gun to the Body. This gives the illusion it's an actual part of the jetbike. Made 4 of these guys so that finishes of that Dilemma.

So what do you guys think?

Cheers CJ

  2. That does look pretty mint, really looks like it's an integral part of the jetbike. Where did the Shruiken Catapult come from?

  4. Gavin the catapult is just a normal shurikan cannon from the Vyper/ Heavy weapon sprues. I just cut it up a lot and then drill the hole to connect the wire to it. Then I just glued it to the canopie in the front.

    and Done!

    Cheers CJ
