Megalodon Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Sorry I took so long. Here is what I've done so far, I started with the arms that hold the bolter at an upward angle. I cut off both hands at the wrists http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/conversions/shooter1resized.jpg Then I drilled holes on the wrists and hands for pinning. Then I used some Hobbytac (basically thick sticky PVA) to hold the arms in place while I positioned the hands. I did the right hand fist, so I had the leveled position for the bolter in the right position before moving on to the left hand. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/conversions/shooter2Cropped.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/conversions/shooter3CroppedCopy1.jpg This is what the model looks like with a bolter set in position, before the green stuffing of the wrists. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/conversions/shooter4resizedCopy1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/conversions/shooter5resized.jpg I hope this helps.

Megalodon Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 No prob, SK. Here is the green stuffed wrists. For the right hand I made it look like the soft armor of the hip and knee joints. For the left I just filled it in. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/conversions/shooter6Cropped.jpg This is the completed Marine ready to be primed. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/conversions/shooter7resizedCopy1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/conversions/shooter8resized.jpg I think it turned out pretty nice and it was really easy. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenofexx Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I like this conversion a lot! Very simple yet very effective. I'll definately be giving a few of my marines this treatment to make the squad more varied. Also, I should imagine this conversion would go VERY well with repositioning the marine's legs to a kneeling position, and perhaps a scope on the bolter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Windir Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Awesome litte tut, Megalodon! I can't wait to try this out on some Chaos marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Carlin Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Fantasic and can even be applied to loyalist marines! Top notch I'll try my hand at this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
