Custom Elysian Tauros Assault Vehicle

[Dakkar98]

Hey B-town!
Ever since I saw the Elysian Tauros Assault Vehicle at Forge World I have been wanting to build custom ones.
I want to turn these:

Into these:

More pictures can be found here: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/E ... HICLE.html

I am going to attempt to scratch build something very similar starting with an attack bike and crafting components out of plasticard and brass rod.

I would like to get some measurments and pictures of the components of this model prior to assembly so I can attempt to emulate some of the detail.

Ideally, if someone is planning on purchasing one, they could call in their order to GW store near me, giving them my information as the person picking it up.
I take my measurements and pictures and then, within a day or two, I pay to ship the model to you.
The buyer gets free shipping, I get measurements and pictures.

Any thoughts?
Any takers?

Thanks,
Dakkar

Awesome conversion idea! Good luck with the conversion, thought of something similar a while back. You may have just inspired me to actually take vehicles in my army.

I don't know. Looks like a scam to me.

"Hey, everyone! Buy some Forgeworld stuff and have it sent to me! I'll send it back to you! Promise!"


How do we know we can trust you? You seem a little dodgy.

Eric,
Real constructive. Isn't that threadjacking?

Rule #16 affords me the ability to do whatever I want.

On a serious note:

My previous post was a joke. Nobody reading that should take it seriously.
In fact, MUCH of what I say should not be taken seriously.

Honestly, though... Although my post was not written in anything resembling a serious manner, it DOES give us the opportunity to address the issue:

Folks, Dakkar98 (for those of you who don't know) is a staff member (red or gree user ID's indicate staff status). In fact, I think he might have been one longer than me!
While this is no guarantee of safety, that -combined with his stellar references- is about the closest thing you can get to a guarantee on here.
Even when he's pimping himself for *certain bits*, he's a good guy. : )

Does anyone have one of these vehicles that could take some pics and measurements for me?

Is anyone even reading past the 3rd post?

Come on I am looking to build at least 10 of these. 4 to include with bike squadrons plus 6 for 2 attack bike squadrons.

Thanks,
Dakkar

I have read past the 3rp post.

Forgeworld prices are in GPB and not Euro right?

I rellay like the model and would see it fit an ork warbuggy pretty good. I can see why you want to convert some.

Forgeworld prices are in GPB and not Euro right?

Correct. That puts them at about $43.5 US at today's exchange rate.

While I do not have a tauros to measure from.

Those look alot(cough,cough ip hack,,,,,aliens=nids,,,,tauros=warthog),,,,a warthog from halo,something like this might help,think they have them at toys r us.
