<H3>Steam Samurai and Doom Rider bitmashes</H3>

<P>
So, these are some nice bitmashes - figures made from
a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  Below, I
have listed the different pieces that have been mashed
together and show the final model.

The base figure for the steam powered samurai is a
HeroClix Silver Samurai figure.  The extra parts
and mods are:
<UL>
<LI>A - 40K Razorwing bits</LI>
<LI>B - Repositioned katana from horizontal to vertical</LI>
<LI>C - Sword hilts for power cells</LI>
<LI>D - Wires up the blade</LI>
<LI>E - He got a gun</LI>
<LI>F - Bits of bent wire as hydraulics</LI>
</UL>
</P>

<P>
<img class=larginalia src=ssam02.jpg></img>
<UL>
<LI>1 - Leftover MechWarrior bit</LI>
<LI>2 - More hydraulics</LI>
<LI>3 - And still more!</LI>
</UL>
</P>

Even though the 'Clix figure is a bit big, he
stands all right against some other Japanese figures.
The lower base helps.  Also, he is in steam powered
armour, so we would expect him to be a little 
oversized.  Don't know if you can tell, but there
are four different metallic colors on him.  I think
that helps sell the figure, even though you can't
tell them apart like red, green, and blue.

I also added some plastic wrap to the sword after
the figure was painted, and hit it with red and 
yellow in from Sharpie markers.  It gives a good flame
effect.

The <a href=http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Doomrider>Doom Rider</a>
is an old school 40K piece.  I thought it looked cool enough
to give it a shot.  I started with a regular space marine, then... 
<UL>
<LI>A - 40K Space Marine; arm and legs repositioned</LI>
<LI>B - Skull head from a HeroClix figure</LI>
<LI>C - Beer stein from Gnome Wars figure</LI>
<LI>D - Hot Wheels motorcycle</LI>
<LI>E - A couple of washers and the rim of a bottlecap</LI>
<LI>F - Wechwarrior body part; 'coz it needed more engine</LI>
<LI>G - Dinosaur skeleton tail</LI>
<LI>H - Machine gun from Dreamblade figure</LI>
<LI>J - Hot Wheels piece</LI>
<LI>K - HerocClix fight base</LI>
<LI>L - 40K skull bits</LI>
</UL>

<UL>
<LI>1 - Some giant sword piece</LI>
<LI>2 - 3 small sword hilts</LI>

Here he is against some "regular" space marines ... at least
as regular as I can make them.
