Inquisitor lorr Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi folks As the title suggests, I'm having some difficulty assembling some DKoK grenadiers that I recently managed to acquire. In particular, the hellgun cables, which seem nigh on impossible to fit. I've given up for today but will try again tomorrow with the assistance of a hairdryer, but it's so fiddly that I'm not holding out hope. So, any tips? Or suggestions for alternatives? I was thinking plastic tubing/guitar wire or just adding a magazine to the gun to avoid the problem altogether.

lionofjudah Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Super hot water- tea hot, will let you bend them... or you can say screw it(like I did) Guitar cord is super fiddly and tends to poke holes in your fingertips when bending at 28mm;) Magazines work as well as the notion of the micro nuclear power packs that mine are rocking Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348695-difficulty-building-dkok-grenadiers/#findComment-5118475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose you have any photos of what you've done with yours...?

Akrim Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I get a mug and fire my Kurig coffee maker empty (so as mentioned; water hot as coffee or tea. Dunk the whole piece in for about a good 30-45 sec and tweezer it out. Should bend fairly easily if its an extreme warp try to flex it ever so slightly then reheat most curved point - usually the bottom of the curve. Be gentle, itll snap if you try it too long out of the heat (more than 15sec) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348695-difficulty-building-dkok-grenadiers/#findComment-5118752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 There's also the heat gun option too. I picked up one from the hardware store for $40 recently. There are cheaper options but it only had a hot or even hotter setting. I recommend the one with extra settings from cool to hot though. Having said all that I have heard of others using a simple hair dryer too.
