Very nice, indeed! Tell us, what did you use for the housing where the gun meets the arm? Is that just plasticard? In which case, how do you make such beautifully perfect cuts and panel lines? |

This is an excellent conversion - very inspiring! ![]() I plan to make some Plasma Blast Guns for my AMTL Warlords, along the lines of the FW Warhound ones - two 40k Plasma Pistols joined together! ![]() |

Thanks all! The housing - the armour? - is plasticard. ?I drew the upper and lower parts seperately on 1mm card - keeping in mind the dimensions of the flamer - and scored them out with a sharp scalpel, leaving a slight margin. ?Then I drew around them onto thin plasticard (the almost paper-thin stuff), and drew the panels inside those boundaries. ?The neatness was helped by the thinness, which made it a lot easier to cut - I kind of 'chopped' straight down on the lines, rather than scoring; letting the straight edge of the blade keep things accurate. I took the thick parts again and filed one edge on each of them (lower on the upper, upper on the lower) to a bevel, so I could glue them together at an angle. ?Then I carefully glued the panels down, well down, because the last job was to file the edges of the whole thing straight and I didn't want them pinging off again It helps to have a mechanical pencil, a good ruler, and a slight obsessive-compulsive outlook. ![]() The rest is bits of plasticard, plastic rod, and u-channels (for the upper arm). ?And a li'l bit of copper wire. |

That's a beautiful piece of work, I particularly like the little pipe detail too, and all so very neatly finished, very impressive. |

Very nice weapon. Also I really like you conversion guide for the other weapons. Makes the prospect a little less daunting. |

Love the Inferno gun! One suggestion for the Plasma Cannon I've used is a SM Devastator Plasma Cannon. It's a bit more work being metal, but really looks the part, and the size is just about right. Look forward to seeing more of your weapons! Regards, Reaver |

Ta again. Ragnarok - I seem to have lost the sketches that showed what I wanted to do with flamers and plasma guns. So I think those'll be next on the agenda, hopefully with a small step-by-step guide. Reaver - I would've gone for a plasma cannon, but I wanted plastic bits to keep the weapons as light as possible. I don't know if the magnet could hold a big metal bit securely, all the time. Also, I think I like the multi-barreled look of FW's blastgun better than the old titan plasma weapons. It looks a little more understated. IMHO. Yeah, I know. 'Understated' has no place in the description of a titan. ![]() |
