(Original Work of Dverning)
Dverning of Maunderings of a 40k Gamer - Some miniatures we look at by members of the blogging and forum community have had slight alterations to make them more individual to their owner, and give the army a personalised feel on the tabletop. The conversion could be anything from a few more purity seals to an altered power weapon. There are some modifications out there that just make you go wow, that is pure brilliance not just because it looks fantastic, but due to it really fitting in with the army it's been created for. It is one thing to make a model stand out, it is another to make it stand out in a way that still keeps with the theme, Dverning has gone just that.
His Farseer jetbike is fantastic, from the conversion on the jetbike to the colours used once it had been built. I'm not normally an Eldar fan, mostly because of their affiliation with elves and such; it's really not my cup of tea. However, Dverning has made me want to create my own jetbike squad; I can't say I want an army, but definitely a display squad. I believe anyone that comes up with an idea that inspires you to go off and create your own twist on it, especially if you don't like the army the idea is based off deserves some kudos.
Contained within his article is a step-by-step photo guide on how the bike in question was assembled with the conversion work, there is also a link to a Sculpting Tools 101. I'll also link the guide on how he sculpts the fine lines on the bike.
Other interesting articles on Dverning's blog are:
Sculpting 102: Putty
Sculpting 103: Simple Fills, Forms & Repairs
Sculpting 104: Silicon Shaping Tools
Sculpting 201: Pinning, Armature & Large Shapes
Go over to his blog and have a look, you won't be dissapointed and I'm sure you'll get your own ideas for your own Eldar if that's what you play, or you'll be able to use the technique for your own army in some way.

Wow, I was just expecting a couple links, not a lot of nice things said too.
Cheers and glad I could inspire.
If someone has done some brilliant work, it should be displayed and told about to others so they can have a look.
Putting simple links doesn't do that. I have some jetbikes, so I'll be trying this technique out when I get I've finished off a long running army that needs painting.
