Damakos Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hello, Being relatively new to Forge World models, I have a question regarding the Pyroclast models, and was hoping you might be able to assist me with them. What is the best way to attach the hoses that connect the backbacks to the flame casters? The hose itself comes straight, and I was wondering whether I'd have to dunk them in warm water for about a minute and then bend it into blace or whether there is a better way of doing this? Thanks for the help Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302959-salamander-pyroclast-modelling-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hot Air Guns would be the easiest solution and doesnt involve getting wet or potentially burning yourself. If you dont have one, a Hairdryer is just as good but takes a bit longer. Also permits you to do the fitting of the hoses/pieces on the model itself without having to go back and forth; just remember to have a cold water basin nearby to 'lock' the resin into shap after heating it up.

Kor'Vesh Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah, I used hot water with mine, but it was a pain, so I'd give Slipstreams tip a go. Take it slowly, and have something round (pencil) to bend the tubes around. I broke a couple and had to GS the gaps! I think Atia has built some recently, so she might also have some more specific tips. They're great models though - enjoy!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You might also look at getting some kind of greenstuff tube maker not only for instances like this, but anytime you might need or want to add some tubing to model.

Castiel Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm just leaving the hoses off mine. Tried to fit a couple but they just kept breaking. They have internal feeds if anyone asks! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302959-salamander-pyroclast-modelling-question/#findComment-3940457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
