I have already got the pipe ends covered (pun intended

)
This is one of the arms I am working on.

Using smaller diameter pipes to fill in the spaces.
Will do the same on all the knee joints.

I like the detail you've got there, plenty of rivets and you're done

cheers

I'm having visions of a Manta looking cargo/material transporter with a drop down belly.

It looks like some of those things may come about.
Have a look at this thread

This is one of the arms I am working on.

See if you leave the arm like this, you could insert different utensils in the end. Either claws or drills or other weapons. Just use a smaller piece of pipe than the arm. Attach it to the end of the weapon/ claw and don't glue it and you can slide in different options.

missed this... this is great

any more progress?

gamer Mac · « **Reply #37 on:** May 15, 2011, 10:22:29 PM »

Yes it was finished.
Used in round 4 of the current LPL.

I think I have some WIP photos, I will try and dig them out.

Certainly is!

As are the troops. Great imagination and execution here at work.

Love it!

Found some more WIP photos if you are interested

went for an old claw from a chaos dreadnought

Painted the pilot on an olbattery just because it fitted the plastic dome I found.

As you can see I am no artist

But my art is well hidden

And just for completeness the crewmen

and the whole lot together along with the scenery I was going to use for my LPL photo.

Thanks for all the good comments Guys.
Just a pity you didn't see it in the LPL AND VOTE FOR ME

superb stuff...

Just browsed this thread and had an idea regarding covering tube ends: Builders Markets (or whatever they are called in English) usually carry small plastic discs with a tap to be inserted into and cover screws (commonly seen on IKEA furniture). I think they come in different sizes. Might work for some projects.

I must have missed that round of LPL

Great minds think alike.
I have some of those spare from when I built my kitchen. But they were far to big and didn't fit the end of the pipe.
