What to use as replacement for the immolator Dome

[RedSquig]

Well, i bought a second hand immolator and the dome is missing. I swap it for one of the sisters coat of arms for the side and doesnt look bad at all... but... have you got any better idea? Just leaving it without anything looks weird.

 

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture

That is definitely thematic, and whomever is being immolated will for sure know who did it to them.

 

I can't say I much care for it, though. Have you thought of making a press mold with a canopy you already own and using layers of clear resin or glue to create a new one?

 

EDIT: What I mean by glue is there is a specific type of clear glue that airplane modelers use to make clear replacement pieces for things like canopies and windows.

Bufs! Sounds reasonable and a good idea, but I'm very bad in modeling for a tax like that :P (don't tell to the comissair)

I just had a quick rummage in my bitz box but sadly I don't have a spare to give you. Could you miss off the canopy and stick a servitor in the gunners seat? The other option might be something like a razorback turret instead?

Don't worry, it's OK, it doesn't look to bad at all, no? :)

Yeah looks good. When I bought my exorcist it came with an immolator sprue but it turns out not the canopy sprue hence why I thought I might have a spare. If you are worried about a vision slit I might have a dreadnought front panel you could a slit out of

You could also cut a flat circle out of a clear plastic case, like an old cassette tape case.

Not sure what the protocol is for stuff like this with regards to third party bits, but here's one from Shapeways: https://www.shapeways.com/product/JU4YCVBGS/gothic-bubble-canopy

 

Full disclosure: this is not my work, but rather done by a fellow over at dakkadakka
