Step 4 continue...( Reinforcements ) (pic7)
- I also cut the claws into pieces and pinned those back together using paper clips, this will also add strength to the flimsy weak claws.
The white arrows show the joins, these need to
be tidied up with greenstuff.
Step 5 ( Pinning ) (pic9)
- Pinning is extremely important. It adds much needed strength to large kits with heavy parts.
Hold the piece at the angle it will be on the model, then drill horizontally into the piece. I did this by hand, but bench vices are good for this. For this gun arm (and all the legs) i drilled 2 holes side by side horizontally. I did this because of the weight of the gun pulling down on a single central pin could make it rotate, 2 pins side by side means it can't rotate.
Pinning (pic12)
- Dab some paint onto the ends of the pins. And line it up against the phants shoulder socket. You should be left with
2 dots on where to drill.
Reinforcements (pic8)
- This is where all the pins are in each front leg.
Pinning (pic10) & (pic11)
- Next up the pin. I get through so many pins on all my models i find the cheapest and best way is to use paper clips. I cut these to size using a very cheap pair of clippers bought off a market stall for 50p. Don't use GW £6 clippers, it will knacker them.
- Then, i superglue 2 lengths of pin into the arm ball joint.
