The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Big shootas and weapon storage

I've had a fairly busy morning, but I managed to get a little bit done so I thought I'd post it up before I moved on to the next part of the vehicle.

I produced a turret front that will hopefully work as a decent Big Shoota. It's pretty simple - just a couple styrene tubes and some sheet cut to size, but it gets the point across.

 

I wanted to show off an extra little detail that I was not planning on, but am happy with. Usually when I come up with modularized weapons for things, they tend to get lost or misplaced or I end up having trouble figuring how out to transport them from home to game and back again. Instead, I've managed to mount the extra turret weapon discreetly on the underside of the trukk for storage until I decide to change the trukk's weapons.

I figured the detail on the underside was already a lost cause because of the wiring and switch and battery compartment, so I decided the underside would also be a decent spot for extra turret weapon stowage. The left half of the last image shows the magnet that sticks out on a thick strip of styrene - the weapon slips right onto that spot and does not stick out too far, meaning I can flip the trukk over and set it down on it's tires without any trouble. It hardly even shows from the side!

Both weapon variations (rocket and big shoota) fit discreetly to the point and help keep all the parts for the vehicle together.

Now I'm going to make the driver.
