Updating a Boarboy

Inspiration
I really liked the original idea for the Orks in Rogue Trader.  I thought that the clan idea with each clan having some benefit was really good.  I still paint and convert my Ork miniatures so that I have different clans.  With this urge to convert and paint Orks in such a way and with the newer, larger Orks that Games Workshop is producing these days, I decided to upgrade some of my Ork Boarboyz.

Tools
The tools needed to complete this conversion are a modeling knife, a razor saw, pin vice and drill bits, and a file.

Materials
The materials you will need are the Boarboy legs ( I have used Nobz legs for this conversion), a plastic torso, a plastic Ork head, an Ork right arm with pistol, a grenade arm (I have used a metal grenade arm but the plastic ones will work well also), the business end of an axe arm, pinning wire, super glue, and styrene cement.

Conversion
You will need to flatten the bottom of the torso with a file because the Boarboy legs have a flat surface where you will need to attach the two.  Once accomplished, you will need to drill pinning holes into the torso and legs and pin the two pieces together.  Next, glue the head and right arm to the torso.  You will need to do some work to attach the axe head to the grenade arm.  I pinned an additional piece of plastic between the hand and the axe.  Pin and glue the left arm to the torso and you will be done with the conversion.

Note
When I do a conversion, I keep the parts that I remove for later use.  In this conversion, I had to remove the grenade from the left arm.  In a future conversion, I will use the removed grenade to finish a product.  I also will be using the remaining torso from the Boarboy to make a Boarboy Yoof.
