Maybe some struts to brace the legs against one another?


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

I have started work on the weapon systems.

First up is a twin lascannon turret.



So much to do, so little time...

I want to make a multiple heavy bolter array to be mounted under the wings.

I have been making some bolter casts from green stuff. They look too bad...



Not sure how to do this yet, I will either make a long line of 6 bolters or 2 rows of three bolters. I need to make a mock up of both to see what works best.

Made a row of four bolters into a weapons pod for the underside of the hull.





Using some 1mm nail art gems, I added rivets...
