Hyaenidae Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm having a heck of a time creating bionics for my army. One guy is taking me a week to mod out, not even counting painting. Anybody know of some instructions on mass producing bionic parts? I got a lot of mini's to modify...

Shotbreak Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 There are a few tutorials in the forums that help with bionic conversions, don't know if any are good for mass production though cause I've only read one since I joined, and it seemed like a doozy imo <_< . or you can grab an Iron Hands kit and use that, or check out some sites for bitz from that kit so you don't buy any parts you might not want to use.

Terminatorinhell Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I would say cast them or buy the bionics set from Maxmini. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206955-instructions-on-bionics/#findComment-2469796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 shotbreak-yeah, the tutorials were pretty decent, just dealing with limited supplies and time (college courses) right now; green stuff, guitar wire, a little bit of plasicard left. Just kinda hoping someone had a cool idea for something quick and simple. TermInHell- Holy crap, I have so many Iron Hands parts in my army, I'm afraid to add any more! Casting is beyond my skill, and maxmini's is cool but expensive. I'll just keep tearing around the tutorials, thanks guys.

Shotbreak Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 If you're in school you can raid some paper clips?.... Might go good as the bar for the leg/arm and use the guitar wire to wrap around to make springs if it's the right gauge of wire, but you don't have to follow it if you don't want to. Think outside the box and put two and two together, it doesn't have to be specific to another persons idea or a well tested way, that's why you get so much freedom in the first place.

Hyaenidae Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Lol, didn't think about paper clips...good call. Thanks, shotbreak. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206955-instructions-on-bionics/#findComment-2470123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Dunno about expensive too much <_< Looking at MaxMini (never have before). It really depends on how bionic each model is... If you went for one visible bionic each (including head as bionic) You could potentially do 10 man squad with one 5.65 Euro set (Course there is alway P&P). Good luck ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206955-instructions-on-bionics/#findComment-2473379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, though...I'm working with the paperclip idea.

uncookedtrout Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 A combination of paper clips, plastic card, guitar wire, and green stuff worked nicely for my IronHands. Here's an true scale DW fig I did. Paint job is still WIP. http://richsanders.squarespace.com/storage/IMG_1308.jpg http://richsanders.squarespace.com/storage/DW.jpg http://richsanders.squarespace.com/storage/DW2.jpg works fine for normal marine figs and pretty quick to make too.
