Dunnaeph34rn473 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Pretty good. I like the worn look. Might want to either drill out the gun barrels or paint black dots on the ends.

dispo39 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I've never tried drilling out gun barrels... you use a power drill for that? I could see it ending badly, maybe.

Black_Sky Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I've never tried drilling out gun barrels... you use a power drill for that? I could see it ending badly, maybe. Hahaha Metal - Dremel. Plastic - Dremel or pin vice. Resin - Pin vice. It depends on what you need to put holes in, and how large the holes need to be. I've yet to get a Dremel of my own, but from the tips I've gathered it is great for metal, good for plastics and way to hardcore for resins (finecast).

dispo39 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Alright thanks, I'm going to look for a pin vice and give it a whirl. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242850-heres-a-dread/#findComment-2936998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Quick tip - use a sharp pointed needle file (or really anything with a sharp point) to score the center of the barrel first. That will give the pin vice a spot to bite into before you start drilling. Otherwise your pin vice tends to drift when you are trying to drill. I ended up with a lot of off center barrels before I figured that out.
