Khargan Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 im a rather un educated chap really, didnt do well in schooling, took software engineering and decided after 5 years of it that it was drivel. although admittedly out of 26 years of my life I have spent 20 doing workshop, and 4 of that working for workshop :D past two years all ive done is commission and fun stuff, :mellow: although I've only been scratch building for two years (some early stuff in my work shop years but it was crap to be honest) best way is to just get loads of material, cut yourself a lot learning how to make it, and that generally teaches you to be precise and careful ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khargan Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 32. now take your length of 1mm dia rod, and cut away two segments 9-10mm long, then carefully place into position to check length, taking off a little from the rod each time to ensure we do not cut it too short then finally glue into place. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8517.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8518.jpg 33. Next we want to cut a square segment of 1.5mm deep card, measuring 8mm by 9mm square then attach under the weapon between the two discs sticking out. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8519.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8520.jpg 34. now cutting two strips of 1.5 mm card, measure 2.5 mm wide, give your self about 20 mm long length to work with, cut and place from the square we made lining up with each side sticking out under the cannons, ( you dont want them to be longer than the two rings around the barrels. ) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8521.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8522.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8523.jpg 35. now we are going to build the ammo housing, using the psy-cannon ammo store, remove the brace between the two, leaving the port for the magazine feed in place. Then file down and glue together ensuring both feed ports are pointing down. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8513.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8515.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khargan Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 36. cut a strip if 1mm deep card measuring 4mm wide, give yourself 25mm long to worth with for error. line this over the join between the two ammo boxes dead center, then cut flush at each end and file http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8524.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8525.jpg 37. then at the end nearest the belt feeds, add a strip down to the open void about 5-6mm long. then cut at an angle at each corner to finish. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8526.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8527.jpg 38. glue into place at the rear of our weapon lining up the white strip flush with the box housing, this may require you to sand the join so that each lay flush and straight against each other! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8528.jpg 39. now taking our strip from earlier stages measuring 1mm wide by 0.5mm deep, cut 4 segments about 3mm long. Then carefully placing these as lock brackets at near the top of the ammo housing with a 1mm space between each (two on each side) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8529.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8531.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8530.jpg 40. using the 1mm dia rod, cut two segments of 3mm lengths, then split both of these carefully into two 1.5mm long segments. glue and place two segments either side of the white strip on top of the ammo case against the shoulder box unit to look like hinges. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8532.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8533.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8534.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khargan Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 41. Next we cut our ammo feeds, cutting a single segment from each feed from the end leaving the attachment bracket intact, we then want to cut away about 1mm of the bracket (use my crappy text guide following in red!) [][][][][][][]-[__ you may also need to file away the horizontal connection [][]-[_ to fit snug! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8510.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8535.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8536.jpg 42. now simply attach each feed so that it connects to the outlet on the ammo box and to the rear of the under carrage of the weapon http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8537.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8538.jpg 43. to add an ammo ejection port simply cut lengths of 1mm wide by 0.5mm deep strip (roughly 4mm long) and place above the connection from the ammo feed, place a strip 1mm long vertically at each end of this line, just under the strip at each end. the complete with your second 4mm length, cut to flush and file. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8541.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8543.jpg COMPLETE CONTEMPTOR AUTO CANNON WEAPON AND ELBOW JOINT! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8544.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/argosis101/DSCF8542.jpg Enjoy!
