Morfesto Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I just finished dilling out the bolters of my CSM and I was wondering if you guys drill anything else. Perhaps plasma guns, melta guns? If so what size bit do you use ? I used the smallest bit from the GW pinning kit. Pictures would be nice <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdal Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I drill everything that got a barrel. Makes them look so much better. The drill I use depends on what weapon I`m putting a hole in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I drill out melta gun barrels... and the heat diffusers as well. Takes a lot of tie, and a jewllers saw as well as a drill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Leto Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I drill out melta gun barrels...and the heat diffusers as well. Takes a lot of tie, and a jewllers saw as well as a drill... I too drill out my Melta heat diffusers. I got the bits I use from RadioShack. One came with an Xmods tool kit (I use this bit to drill out the fronts of heavy bolters, plasma cannons, meltas/mmeltas as it's fairly large). The other drill came as a set from their regular tool line (it's called a Commando drill for some reason). Basically identical to a pinvise, but with more variety in bits (and they're stronger, so I can move them laterally to drill out the diffusers on plastic models).

Lord Ragnarok Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I drill out everything that should have a hole. Including my blood claw bikers. (The exhaust pipes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morfesto Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Should the plasma guns/pistols have holes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I drill out mine. Although I have a habit of using drill bits that are too large then I have to fix it with GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havock Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Should the plasma guns/pistols have holes? yes. They are not lasguns (thank god!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannus Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I drill out all barrels, exhausts and even some coupler points on my Techmarines. For some examples of drilled out barrels, check out my Land Raider gallery in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiq Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I drill out all gunbarrels and the exhaus pipes on rhinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 now i dont know if this is common sense or not, but when drilling i drillthe middle and then drill through the side holes too! even on rhino exhausts! and fill in the blanks with a hole too- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feuer_faust Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I don't. Marines take long enough to assemble as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfury Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I would really like to see what a drilled out melta gun looks like. So many people here say they do it, yet I have yet to ever see a single melta drilledout for the heat vents/diffusers. "Show and tell" time, instead of just "tell".

miniaturepainter Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Drilling out holes, just how far? Sorry I don't have a picture of the assault weapon just yet, but I did snap this pic for a friend of mine. I only go a few mm's inward and dont go all the way back, to me it just looks better. I dont know why. I use to, then drill out either side of the vents as well. For the bigger assault weap's i use the drill bit 2 sizes larger then the one pictured here. http://home.comcast.net/~eqdruid/pics/sgpfist.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venerable Jazzman Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I drilled out all the holes on my LRC exhausts as well. Not that you notice them, unless you look really hard.. <_< Does anyone else drill out the side holes on bolters, as well as the front muzzle hole?

So many people here say they do it, yet I have yet to ever see a single melta drilledout for the heat vents/diffusers. "Show and tell" time, instead of just "tell". For the Melta I just do the front of the barrell. I leave the vents alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moribund the Burgermeister Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Does anyone else drill out the side holes on bolters, as well as the front muzzle hole? Sure do, I mean, why not when tyou've already got your pin vice out? :) Moribund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeLi-N Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I drill everything, bolters, plasma guns, plasma cannons, heavy bolters, should pads (ok, that's battle damage), and also lots of drilling to stick in pins... I just like drilling. I HATE to see well painted (or just in general models people want C&C for) that haven't drilled out bolters...first round of shooting BLAM, exploded due to a non-existant chamber, marine down.
