1. A work-in-progress shot of the Windrider Jetbikes.

2. The two female riders were created using the torsos with the soulstone positioned centrally on the chest. The armour was then resculpted using Green Stuff.

3. The magnetised weapon options for the six Windrider Jetbikes.

4. One of the completed Jetbikes. I have used standard Guardian heads for the Jetbike riders instead of the ones that were supplied in the kit, which have suffered from being designed using CAD; they are too narrow and the eye lenses are too close together. It's a subtle difference, but it makes the helmet appear "pinched" to me. Using the older design of helmet fixes that issue.

5. The underside of the Jetbike.

6. The scenic bases for my Jetbikes. All of them have had their stems shortened, so that the Jetbikes appear to be hovering at around chest height rather than flying overhead. Magnets will be fitted to them so that the jetbikes can be detached for easy transportation.

7. The completed Jetbikes, ready for undercoating.

8. One of the undercoated jetbikes. The magnetised weapon has been undercoated separately in black to speed up the painting process.

9. All of the jetbikes are now undercoated and ready for painting.
