Looking for someone from Baltimore Games Day 2007

Hey everybody,
I am looking for either the maker of some awesome Space Marine Bikes from Baltimore Games Day 2007. Failing that I would like to find more pictures of his work.

It was entered in the Warhammer 40K Squad category of the Golden Demon Competition.

He modeled a squad of Space Marine Bikes similar to Japanese Anime style motorcycle (Akira Style, Im told). They had twin Shocks on the right side and nothing on the left. Below is the only picture I could find from GW.

The Stuff of Legends site has close-ups some of the other models in the picture, but not the bikes.

Unfortunately, he didn't get an Honorable mention or anything, so there were never pictures printed in White Dwarf. If anybody happen to be there and took some pics, please send me some. If anybody happens to know who the guy is or if he is a Bartertown user, I like to know who he is or at least have someone drop him a line and let him know I'm looking for him.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Funny Guys,
I was referring to the Space Marine Bikes in the foreground not the twin mountains in the background (Apologies to lady in the picture and anyone who may know her, no offense intended

). Maybe I should have cropped the picture.

I have seen the Space Marine bike converted Akira style done to death and it doesnt really impress anymore.

Not true at all as evidenced by someone taking the time to make this thread.

Sorry, I can't help the OP with info. If you haven't done so already, I'd post on CMON, Dakka, WIP and any other sites you frequent. The more places you ask, the more likely to get a friend of a friend, someone else who knows how to do it, or the actual modeler themselves. Good luck.

My beautiful, smart, intelligent and sexy wife found some of the pictures.

They are not quite the way that I remember them, but they are still cool looking.

Does anyone have additional, or better quality pictures of these bikes?
Or better yet know who made them, so I can pick their brain.

I love Akira and this sounds cool but why can't I see the attachments? I really want to see how this was pulled off.

Attachments fixed.

Check out the VOID line of miniatures, specifically the VASA faction, for bikes in that style...
